6mm spacer on rear wheels (sport) GREAT!

john370z · 04-03-2009, 07:32 AM

I spent a while measuring the rear from every angle and 10mm is the most the rear can be spaced without hitting the quarter panel. It is noticeable!! I did it with a 6mm spacer and you could tell the difference. I will get better pics with the 10mm before and after and you can make your own decision. I think it is a great modification with minimal cost. ($110)

John, do you have any better pics with the 6mm, b/c I put some 5mm on and could hardly notice the difference

I'm pretty sure 10mm wont be enough either, based on other fitments I've seen. For example: Lou's car from Amplified Motors. They were running a 20x11+15et in the rear, compared to the stock 19x10+30et of the stock wheel, there edge of the rim is almost 28mm further out

but it looks ok (see pic) Now I didn't ask if they had rubbing issues, but I'm thinking you could easily go with 15mm or even a 20mm and still be ok.
