Here's a pic of the rear for now. The front was too dirty.

Very nice. Congratulations!

Awesome! Let the modding begin! start with wheel spacers! lol

Already have 15s for the rear. May leave the fronts alone since I don't want to replace studs. Can anyone explain why spacers don't work for the front end? On 350Zs there was a stud you could just screw out. What makes the 370Z different?

they do work, you just have to take off that supid bolt thing that sticks out from the hub and is only there to prevent you from putting the rear wheels on the front.

Actually the sport wheel package has no extra bolt thing. You DO need to replace studs for less than 20mm on the front and even then it is a tight fit. I recommend the stud replacement regardless because it is really quite fast and easy.

I run 20mm rear and 15mm front. Looks the best IMHO....

So why not use spacers that come with spacers pressed in already like Ichiba V2? Why do I see people that say they can't be used up front? :|

supposedly bolt on spacers are perfectly fine, but i feel much more comfortable with the idea of stude replacement.

AlphaSnacks 11-29-2010 06:20 PM

I used bolt-on spacers on my 350Z for a long time. Never any issues. I just find it weird that even some of the websites say you can't use bolt-on spacers on the front.

Hey, Arnolds hooking me up with some winter tires in a few hours, so I may drop a line in here with my .02

I have 20mm up front and 25mm in the rear.. Bolt on's in the rear and H&R stud replacement in the front. I had 20mm Ichiba built in studs up front and created vibration at speeds over 70mph, something you do not want any of in our Z's... H&R stud replacement ( simple to install ) worked out perfectly with no vibration...

It is because the factory studs do not sit flush with 20mm and below Ichiba spacers, they still stick out a small amount and interfere with the wheels.

Go stud replacement. Nuff said!
