I believe th ground to fender height is approx. 26.6inches all around.

that looks perfect IMO

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

I agree the look is awesome. I may have to sell my unopened H&R 15mm fronts and buy the 20mm if there is no rubbing.

Thanks man for the feedback. These will work then for Eibachs (1.0" drop) with no rubbing issues...woot..woot. Looks like I am gonna have to spill some $$ on the 20mm to mount up front.

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.

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.

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.

Sent a PM to Josh, damn you RCZ.

batman_4 · 02-14-2010, 12:58 PM

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??

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.

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.

ZForce · 02-14-2010, 02:03 PM

^Good question, it was brought up here Wider tires on sport rims? 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.
