Anyone have a setup of 15mm spacers in front and 20 rear?
 
More specifically im wondering if anyone here with sport wheels has that setup? What spacers are you using and what lowering springs? Can you post up pics?Or any other setup that has no rubbing issues. Post up pics and list your setup.

I have 15 front and 25 rears. H&R front and Ichiba rear with eibach springs and Nismo accessory wheels. I had 20mm rears but the original lugnuts protrude through the spacer and prevent mating of my particular wheels. The sport wheels might have a better relief hole on the back, since noone else seems to have had this problem.

I have the 15 front and 20 rears, but I haven't been able to install the damn things yet.

Thanks for the replies guys. Mike can you get shots from the rear encompassing both wheels?

rcz, when you get that done, post those pic in this topic when you got time.

Minicobra1 12-31-2009 04:46 AM

I have that set up now, not sure if I have newer pics, I'll check my gallery.

I can tell you, that there is absolutely no rubbing what so ever, and I'm even running wider tires. 255's in front and 305's out back. :tup: I've got Eibach springs installed, about 1" drop

I started with 15mm spacers all around but the rears still were tucked in more then I would like, so I went with 20mm. You could do 20mm up front with no problems either.

thanks for the pictures, that looks great! Are the ichiba spacer straight bolt on or do you need to replace any studs? How are the ichiba spacers going for you, do they feel pretty solid with no wobble? If I went HnR spacers do they have ones that are bolt on without stud replacement? Thanks again!

With the sizes of spacers you're looking at, stud replacement is absolutely necessary, because your factory studs aren't long enough for the lugnuts to properly attach without being lengthened.

It's really no big deal to swap the studs out..

RCZ 01-01-2010 06:17 PM

I should have pictures for you monday night.

chuckd05 01-01-2010 07:59 PM

the question of the century for me is.. will ichiba V2 spacers work on the front ?

i have 15mm installed on my rear, ichiba v2's and Id buy 20mm for the rear and move them up front if the v2 will fit up front... someone else said all that needs to be done is remove the bolt that stops the rear tires from being installed on the front, is that accurate ?!?

Because if I can I will have that setup by next week...

for now i have 15mm v2s on the rear, and z1's 5mm on the front...

v2 15mm will not work on the front. The wheels hit the studs.

I have 25mm v2's up front on the base 18's (winter set), 25mm spacers are wider than the studs so they work. 25mm is wider than most would go with the sport wheels though, if that's what you have. Not sure if 20mm would work, since you have them on the rear you could try moving them to the front to see...

Jourelemode 01-02-2010 11:04 AM

Josh, thanks for the helpful info...rcz, i cant wait to see ur pics!

I have 15mm on the rear ... and they are v2. So its prob no good.. And yea i have the 19" rays wheels...

Maybe I'll sell the set of 15mm... and swap to 20s but the 15s certainly look way better and more aggressive than the stock setup, but 20mm is ideal for those looking for the flush with the fender look on the 19s.. the stock 18s are a little more tucked in the rear so I would def go atleast 20mm if you have the OEM 18s

schrute 01-02-2010 03:12 PM

Yeah I have 20mm on the rear with the base 18's - works great.

When you get your 20mm v2 for the rear you could do a quick test fit on the front to see if they'll work, if they do then order another set of 20's. Just a thought.

chuckd05 01-02-2010 05:57 PM

yea you are right , im going to just take the 15s off and do a test fit on the front anyway...

but for the OP 20mm on oem 19s is ideal IMO... you can do 15 or 20 up front too. Personally I like the look of it being a little wider in the rear.

Ill snap some digi cam pics of the 15mm in the rear or try to dig them up off the hard drive.

:iagree: more pics! More pics! More pics!

ZForce 01-03-2010 12:44 AM

I have H&R all around. Spare no expense, go with the best.

15 mm front (stud replacemnt)
25 mm rear (bolt on)

19" Sport wheels
Eibach springs

Josh@Stillen can hook you up.

I have not installed them yet. $$ is the hold up.

Yes, i'll likely get the hnr spacers, those seem to be built very well from what I've been reading. I'll likely also get cambers too and have it all done at the same time when I get the wheels powder coated matte black and the fangs painted black also.

RCZ 01-04-2010 03:33 PM

sorry guys, no pics for you today. The front set, which I bought from Stillen, fit perfectly and is on. The rear set however, which I bought from a private seller here, is not for the right car. I had to over night myself a new set of H&R spacers with studs and had to pay for the labor anyway... sigh.

I think I may be able to have pics by thursday....fml.

G35guy84 01-04-2010 09:56 PM

What is the benefit, if any, of having stud replacement spacers versus bolt-on? And if one is better than the other, then why does it seem like some guys have both?

Also, I was going to get 15mm bolt-on Ichiba spacers for the front and 20mm for the rear, but someone else said the 15mm won't fit on the front with the Rays wheels. Is this really true, and if so, which brand would fit? :confused:

RCZ 01-04-2010 10:38 PM

my best advice is call stillen and get them to sell you front and rear H&R Trak+ spacers in whatever size you need them. Done.

Josh@STILLEN 01-04-2010 10:47 PM

We're definitely here to help..

Damn RCZ.. I didn't realize you were going for something else on the rears.. I should have asked. Glad you got it worked out.. That sucks..

RCZ 01-04-2010 11:44 PM

Josh, I bought the rears before the fronts from someone privately for a great price. I guess thats what I get for not buying stuff from you haha. I called you guys to order the rears today and (Andrew?) they told me that it would take 5 days to even get it. So I just ordered it directly.

The main benefit of bolt-on spacers (a.k.a. type 2 or version 2) is easier installation if you're DIY (or lower labor cost if the shop is doing it). Once the wheel is off type 2 spacers literally take just a few minutes to install. Type 1's take more effort when the studs need to be replaced with longer ones, but are necessary in some applications where the type 2 won't work (more on this below). Some might also argue that the type 1's are safer/better/whatever but I won't.

15mm Type 2's won't work with the sport package Rays up front because at 15mm they do not clear the OEM studs, leaving enough of the studs sticking out past the spacer to prevent the wheels from fitting flush against the spacer. 25mm spacers clear the OEM studs (which solves the stud clearance issue) but would push the sport package 19's out further than most would be comfortable with (lowering springs or coilovers with negative camber introduced could make 25mm a better fit). I don't know if 20mm type 2 spacers fit with the sport rims, maybe someone else here could chime in if they have that setup.

BTW, 25mm is a perfect fit for the base 18" rims up front. I have this setup on right now with my winter wheels/tires.

Thanks so much for the info!

Does anyone know if 20mm bolt-on spacers will fit on both the front and rear with the Rays wheels?

RCZ 01-06-2010 10:14 PM

Well, I should be installing them tomorrow afternoon if all goes well.. The person that sold me the wrong part didnt even know he had the wrong part so he wasn't at fault at all. Good guy, he refunded me the money today.

ctzn 01-07-2010 01:10 AM

Just received my H&R's today so thanks Josh. My car is in right now getting the wheels powder coated, but this weekend the sways and the spacers go on so I'll snap a few shots and post up some before and afters...

Only spacers with stud replacements will fit the front of the 370 with 19" Rays. Its been explained why a few times in here. I have 15mm in the rear and live in suffolk, if your out here shoot me a Pm you can take a look. I have 15mm type 2 rears and z1 auto 5mm up front for now until i figure out what my final decision is on 15-10 or 20-15.

ZForce 01-09-2010 12:34 PM

$$ is still preventing me from getting mine installed. I have a box full of mods (all paid for) waiting at Z Car Garage. Hopefully later this month for the install and pics.

Will be 15 mm fr 25 mm rr (H&R) dropped with Eibach on sport 19" Rays wheels.

RCZ 01-15-2010 11:26 AM

As promised.

H&R 15mm Front + H&R 20mm Rear. Remember I have TONS of negative camber on the front, which is why it looks in a little still. On a less aggressive alignment, the wheel would be flush like the rear one is.

hey RCZ, your parking's a little off :rofl2:

RCZ 01-15-2010 12:09 PM

hehe its pretty good considering both spots are mine! ;)

vortrex 01-15-2010 01:14 PM

so does it look goofy having your calipers set back further from the wheel with the spacers installed? I've never seen a pic of this. I have the same size H&R spacers but have not put them on yet, thinking I might get wheels instead...

RCZ 01-15-2010 02:07 PM

^ Nah you don't even notice that difference.

:rofl2: well played

so long story short: yes 15/20 setup is great on stock rims, right? i've been trying to tell this to people forever!

RCZ 01-15-2010 02:29 PM

Yep. I think its the best for stock wheels.

NewYorkJon34 01-15-2010 04:41 PM

Any performance benefit from the H&R 15/20 spacers?
