Default Spacers for M-Sports???

I really like the ADR M-sports, but in almost all of the pictures I have seen, it looks like they are tucked in a little too much (probably b/c of the +35 offset) - I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use something like 10mm spacers all around to move the wheels out closer to the edge of the fenderwell.... any M-sport owners with comments or if you think spacers are unneccesary please post your comments/advice/etc....

also, who makes wheel spacers and where can they be purchased? how much do they generally run?

Thanks for the comments, guys!

I am actually interested in this question for an entirely different reason. What size spaces would I need to install a big brake kit with these rims? For the previous poster, you can go to Performance Nissan's website; they sell spacers for the 350Z.

I have M-Sports and 5mm Hr spacers on the front with a Wilwood big brake kit. If you go with Stoptechs, your will need at least 10mm to fit

lanzzor - can you post some pics from different angles of how the wheels now look - does it make a noticable difference? BTW do you have the 6-pot Wilwood setup? Pics would be great...

The car is on stands right now and will take better pics when the suspension is loaded.

That looks amazing. The z center cap is perfect. The wheel and brake kit is awsome

Only 5mm-10mm more for big brake kits? Cool...I was thinking it was going to be at least 15mm. Did you need to get longer wheel studs? I've seen spacers on EBAY for about $15...anyone try these out? I'm getting my M-Sports soon for my G35, and I'd like to be able to upgrade the brakes at some point.

I don't think you will need to use wheel studs for 5mm, I didn't. If you order the spacers from Performance Nissan, they come with the correct studs. The center caps are just the side emblem off the car. I just ordered 4 from Courtesy Nissan (about $80) and siliconed them into the cap, perfect fit. The sticker(center cap) from ADR is a piece of junk.

I know what you mean. One of my stickers has already fallen off and it looks like crap. I will have to check out the centercaps at Courtesy Nissan. Thanks!
