OOI - 25 mm spacer up front 15 in rear - ever been done
 
Did it and added pics, down there......


I am going to swap the spacers around just to see how this would look, I am anticipating it looking out, but have a bit of time to kill shortly.
Anyone done this on the stock Sport rim set up? I dont mind trials but do have other things if this is totally a waste of effort.

It should give a +22 +15 offset , throw the rim/tire difference and they should be resonably close.

BTW stock suspension.

Any input?

front is fine but id go 20mm in the rear.

I am really trying to make use of the 15mm spacer I bought, I assumed they would have slotted on the front but did not, so wanted to swap things about to at least make use of them etc. I am more concerned at the fronts looking more pushed then the rears, hoping the wheel width and different offsets will likely make then both look good and in line, flush.

That setup will work and look good, but it will induce a bit of oversteer due to the front track becoming wider than the rear.

More over steer ;-)

u might also want to seriously consider lowering a bit..at stock height with the spacers will not look flattering imo..at least some eibachs..

Kastley85891 07-01-2010 07:48 PM

So went out and did it, pics up later

i have 20mm for the back i haven't installed yet. curious to see what yours looks like.

Kastley85891 07-01-2010 11:10 PM

Pics...see how it drives tom I guess. Reworked the stock rom via AP tonight also so see if she drives any better.

While the pics are up, I am seriously considering spraying this set of rims White.. any opinion?

love your color of ur z

thanks for the pics and getting her all wet for us :hello:

spacers do not look bad, I was expecting worse.

And as far as the white wheels go, it has crossed my mind also

It looks okay, but I think it would look better with a 20mm in the rear. If you were thinking about dropping it and keeping the sport wheels, you could probably do a 30mm up front with a 25mm in the rear for a nice, flush look.

The rears look better than I thought. The fronts look spot on :)

Also, I notice your side skirts aren't properly aligned with the rear wheel arch. Mine were the same. It's an easy fix but I asked my dealer to do it in case the paint got chipped.

Cool. I'm in Kent so still on the south coast but further east. My wife is from Cornwall so we've got you covered from both sides! :icon17:

How old were you when you moved away?
