DIY: Wheel Spacers (pics)
hehehe, id like to see these +5 offset wheels, lol! I believe the heaviest offset offered on any production wheel is 15mm! 5mm sets the center mount point only 5mm away from the center of the wheel, this effects the structural integrity greatly. Are your wheels custom made or what? What car are they on? Not a z with those offsets!

It's not a Z but 240's can run simular specs of wheels no problem. 18x10.5 +22 if more of the perfect size for the Z.

And Sang, your also looks much better now. I was just thinkin about this today when lookin at my stock 18's. I wonder if it would help out the handling any? Would it make it even more apt to push understeer if the rears are spaced like that??

Sorry if I came off like an *** but I see less then optimal specs of wheels for buff RWD cars more often then I would like.
Wheels make a break a car. Unfortently it's not common knowledge on how to size a wheels width, offset and tire sizing to best fit a car. Yes a spacer does kinda fix the offset problem but it's simply a band-aid for a bad choice. Buying correct offset gives you the best cleance for true coilovers, more lip on the wheel with a lower offset, more agressive better looking wheel beling flush with the fender, a wider more stable track due to being spacerout and and not have to worry about the possible dangers of a spacer.
Also buying a US copy or US made wheel usually doesn't offer the custom and best specs for say a Z. Most of the specs are conservative and simply not the best route for the car. Of course buying such brands as SSR, Volk, etc. gives you the choice of running a wheel as wide as a 13 or offset deep into the negatives. This way you can' go wrong with the specs. Sure looking at onne of those spec sheets can be quite confusing but ask around if you have any questions. You'll thank youself for it and the car will look 100 times better.
I don't claim to be the master of this subject matter but I am VERY picky about wheel fillement. I bought my car for only 8K but with the right wheel specs fillement and suspension makes the car look like a million bucks instead of seeing a rwd car super sunk with cheesy 17x7 45 offse wheels.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask. I will be willin to help you out anyway that I can.
