That will give me 15mm, 20mm and 25mm to tryout, then sell the size I do not use.

Yeha they'll work fine, just remember with eibach the look will not be the same, the rear may seem to stick out further if you only go with springs.

H&R wheel spacer part numbers
 
Here are the H&R wheel spacer part numbers for:

15mm DRS - part # 3065662 (DRS is stud replacement)

20mm DRS - part # 4065662 (DRS is stud replacement)

25mm DRM - part # 5065662 (DRM is bolt on)


H&R mfg web link:

2003 Nissan 350Z Applications || H&R Special Springs, LP


The sport rims for the 370Z have the same bolt pattern as the 350Z.

The best source and pricing I have found is through one of our sponsored vendors. Stillen: contact Josh@Stillen on this forum for some killer prices and top notch service. :tup:

Thanks Josh, I have SPC rear camber kits, to dial em back in with. What camber are you running in the fr and rear with your 1.4" drop? I would think with that kind of a drop that you would need upper control arms.

josh88 02-12-2010 11:37 AM

-2.4 rear and around-1.4 front. No arms in the front, totally stock

how come rcz has 20mm rear and almost look the same? i want the flush look with my stock 19"

RCZ 02-14-2010 12:33 PM

^ its a 5mm difference....it is almost the same.

Sent a PM to Josh, damn you RCZ. ;)

Question: initially i like the look of the 20mm (F) and 25mm (R), however as my rear tires are wearing out I'm going to be replacing them with 285 rears....do you think i would achieve the same look of 20/25 going 20/20 with those 285 rears??

ZForce 02-14-2010 02:03 PM

^Good question, it was brought up here http://www.the370z.com/309642-post9.html and also look further into that thread for some additional feed back.

IMHO I would prolly stick with 20mm rr wheel spacers if I was planning on over sizing the rear tire on replacement to anything wider than the 275 stockers.

Other members that are more knowledgeable in this area (RCZ and Mike) than me and whom I believe are running over size tires on their stock 19" sport rims and also have wheel spacers may want to chime in.

Mike 02-14-2010 02:10 PM

I would stick with 20s on the oversized tires. I just switched from Eibach springs to the suspension out of stormcrow's Nismo, and with 25s, the rears actually stick out of the wheelwell a little now. No rubbing because the tire swings inward at the top as the suspension compresses though, but I'm not sure I'm liking the look too much now.

I agree with Mike. I only went with 15s on the rear, and no front. With the stock 275s I am close to flush. When I go with 285s the look will work for me. If I had gone 20, I would have had to do front spacers as well. So I am saying I think you will like the look of 20mm rear and 285 tread. Mike knows, if he says the 25s stick out of the wheel well, I would definitely agree.

Mike 02-14-2010 02:20 PM

unfortunately, my wheels require 25s, as the stock studs protrude on a bolt on 20mm and the nismo wheels don't have the clearance behind them that the stock wheels have.

And, my track wheels require the 25mm spacers, although I may consider going to 15mm spacers front and rear in the near future, I just hate changing wheel studs on the rear.

Remember that while the tire may be a bit wider, its still going on the same rim. The visual effect is not very dramatic, it will look very similar to the stock 275.

Both you and Semtex. :stirthepot:
It is all good though, my car is sound better every week, and soon will look a bit better with this addition.

that's a good point. so would you recommend going 25mm in the rear? i will be dropping the car on Coils...i won't be going for the slammed style but want to minimize most of the wheel gap.

Mike 02-14-2010 04:46 PM

Mine, 25mm rears with eibach springs before:

Mine now, 25mm springs with Nismo suspension, stock ride height:

bottom line, if not lowered, don't go to 25.

Westwood 02-15-2010 12:25 AM

looks good mike!!! .08" eibach drop is good for 25mm rear?

Personally, I find this setup to be the most impressive. What do you guys think?

did josh use the ichiba v2 in the front? or does anyone know if the 20mm v2 will clear the studs?

They won't clear the rear studs. I think the fronts are the same size, they are about 21-22mm

Spec Jay 02-15-2010 01:44 PM

i planned on using 25 s in the rear to begin with.
can anyone confirm the front studs length?
/edit
er wait doesnt the front sport wheels have recesses in the back of them?

phelan 02-15-2010 01:45 PM

i think you need the v1s on the front.

josh88 02-15-2010 02:20 PM

I used H&R bolt on type in the rear and stud replacement in the front.

wheee! 02-15-2010 02:44 PM

This is so annoying!:shakes head: Can anyone confirm that the FRONT sport wheels will fit the Ichiba 20mm V2 spacers and still A) Bolt on properly and B) Clear the wheel wells with the stock sport tires and suspension!!!

I am sure there are a lot of people that would go this route to avoid stud replacement alone!

**** ill stick a open ended nut on there and grab my sawzall

wheee! 02-17-2010 01:04 PM

ok, I give up...

I guess I will just shut up and order the 15mm stud replacement for the front and the V2 20mm bolt ons for the rear.

NOW... which brand? A lot of people are leaning towards the H&R.... any other opinions?....

RCZ 02-17-2010 03:57 PM

^ People are leaning towards it because they are great quality, proven to work and competitively priced. Why do you need other opinions? Just take the safe road!

ZForce 02-17-2010 06:29 PM

^+1000

H&R FTSR - they are plug n play. The other brands are plug n pray.

m4a1mustang 02-17-2010 06:34 PM

Yep, H&R is a name you can trust.

wheee! 02-17-2010 06:44 PM

all right, I am sold! Will order them soon!

G35guy84 03-07-2010 02:42 PM

My setup of H&R 20mm front (hubcentric) and 25mm rear (bolt-on) spacers with the Megan Racing coilover kit and Ichiba rear camber kit:
