38mm Spacers On Stock 18's

CharleyGFX · 05-16-2011, 05:29 PM

So last saturday, I hydroplaned my car and thankfully reacted in time, to avoid wrapping myself around a tree. Sadly hover, I knocked over a poll and now there is a dent in my passenger side door. The Z is still drivable but the wheel is shaking every time I get over 40mph. The first thing that came to my mind was that my allighment was messed up. Any who I am taking it to Nissan tomorrow to check for sure if I messed up the suspenion ($89 To just get it check.. what a rip off!). Now..

I already bought new tires.. moved to the Advan Sport in
245/45/18 Front
275/40/18 Rear

They should be in Friday and on the car by Saturday. Does anyone have pictures of what the car looks like with these fitment but with spacers added also. Cause I'm thinking about adding 38mm spacers to my Z and than painting the stock 18's for now.

This looks good.. but this is for the 19's.. so if anyone can please help me out? Cause I'm so sick of looking at my baby all banged up

thanks for telling me this..

I'm gonna make sure they don't rape my pocket tomorrow. Just gonna tell them to check everything.. and not worry about the alignment because I'm getting new tires from another place anyway..

A 38mm is toooo much

If you do a 20mm your your tires would be just about perfect with the fenders for the rear

I dont know thr front wheels offset atm to help you with that one

Shaky wheel past 40mph might also mean that you bent one of the wheels. I hit a huge pothole a few years ago and the wheel shook horrilbly until I finally replaced it.

Since no one seems to have a picture.. What do you guys recommend on getting for my front. Since 20mm is suppose to have my rear sitting pretty nice.
