Can I get in on that lol? Bout to hit the button on my F.I. Exhaust & G3 Intakes. Think that's all I'm going to do, with the exception of tint, 15mm spacers, maybe headlights. What do u think?

Spacers? :ugh2:

it isn't natural. Lol. 5 - 10mm or less spacers that are the stud through design are ok in my book. Bolt on spacers are not smart. You could run forever without a problem. Or one day you could take a hard corner at 80, lose you wheel and get ****** up. I'd rather not play a gambling game with my life over looks. Not to mention torque can NOT be guaranteed with bolt on spacers. So why would you bother? I'd rather get wheels with correct fitment from the start. If they aren't perfect then i'll deal with it or get a small bolt through spacer. But that's my personal opinion based on a simple fact. To each their own. Don't try to convince me otherwise. :tup:

I agree bolt on spacers are not a good idea. I'm fine with extended stud hub centric spacers going out to 20mm (like the ones that Z1 make which are great). Just my :twocents:

I wouldn't race with spacers but I see no problems with daily driving on them.

I have track time, Tail of the Dragon time, Hell Bender Time, and other twisty road time on my spacers.
No issues.
Lugs have never loosen on me.
I use 10mm Z1 Hub Centric Wheel Spacers & Extended Studs on my rear wheels.

I would definitely will not use bolt on spacers for any type of performance driving.

Nope.
The reason I have spacers on the rears only has to do with the offsets my Volk Racing rims came in.
I bought them second hand and the previous owner had ordered the front 19x9.5's with +23 offset and the rear 19x10.5's with +22 offset.
Most people get their 19x10.5 rears with a +12 offset (19x9.5 fronts with +22 offset).
The +22 offset rears doesn't look as flush as the +23 offset fronts.
With the 10mm spacer the rears effectively become +12 offset thus making the rears look as flush as the fronts.

I wish I had comparison pics at the same angle but this should give you a good idea.

Will be selling the NISMO very soon. Don't have time for it anymore, and could possibly be leaving the country very soon. Here's a link to the FS thread. Already have an offer from Carmax and Nissan. If I can't find a buyer in the next few days, it's going to one of them.
