Installed spacers on the Z.

20MM front -- 25MM rear. OEM 18" rims.

Car looks sssoooooo much better now.

I read through the "Wheel Spacers 101" thread twice so I know that there are a lot of opinions out there on spacer thickness. Here is my 2 cents -- I think that the car definitely should have come with all the wheels at the 20MM spacer width. The car looks so much more "natural" now. Having the 25MM at the rear looks good in my opinion. It looks like it is a bit more custom than what you would get from the factory, without being "over the top".

I want to do the same but want to see what it looks like first.

Only problem is it only looks good from the front and sides when u push out skinny wheels and tires to the limit. The rear looks likes a crab. I suggest getting new wheels and tires soon.

Time for an oil change, reminder popped on this morning. First use of the Race Ramps, I hope I don't drive over the front...:eek:



I suppose I should clean the underside, but I'm sure the apartment complex would frown on me hooking up the kenchan method for under car cleaning... hose & sprinkler... :rofl2:

Woke up way early this morning and instead of going back to sleep I made a cup of coffee and went and sprayed the second set of door handles I ordered. Nice and heavy on the clear to take the wear and tear of hands all over them. cant wait to get these on!

Also got my RE11's installed this afternoon. Only had time for a real quick boot but so far very pleased. Plus they fill the wheel well SO much better. Still want some 15mm spacers for the front though. Meaty tires, got to love em'

Picking up my suspension components tomorrow so it will be a bit of a wrench fest here all weekend. Next week the exhaust, intake and oil cooler should be in followed by uprev dyno tune. Be like a whole new car! :p

Met Hotrodz for dinner and drinks in Vegas this evening. What a great guy!! He showed me around in his extremely tastefully modded beast of a Z :D :driving:

If anyone was curious, those fumoto oil drain valves work amazingly well. Took about a half hr to drain fully, but no mess. No leaks, no searching for the plug in the oil. It just worked.

On a side note, someone remind me to PLEASE BUY a low profile jack. Swifts and a regular jack can only work from jacking the rear, putting stands under it, and then jacking each side for additional sides.
