I love the project kics with built in studs or ichiba v2 spacers

I plan to get 15mm H&R DRM (bolt on style) for the rear, but I only want the fronts out 5mm more (personal preference).

Was looking for a hubcentric 5mm spacer by itself (no extended studs) to just simply slip on over the stock studs and bolt the wheel up. May have to get an ebay one which I'm weary of.

H&R offers exactly what you're looking for. PM me!

i have stocks with 25mm all around and lowered 2inches

:pics::pics::pics::pics: please?

...based on the fact the distance between the two front wheels has been increased (let's say 30mm if you did 15mm on the fronts) does it increase the turning radius any ?

Another thing to note:
Spacers increase negative camber, which decreases understeer (not a problem on the Z)
Increases tire wear a bit as there is stronger degree of camber
Makes steering feel stiffer

that was awesome... how did u do that???

For reference, here are some pics of the H&R 15mm DRS spacers both front and rear.

Nice:tiphat: I received my spacer H&R drs yesterday and gonna put on my Z tomorrow!!
Do you put yourself?

Since they're the stud replacement type I had a shop do it for me. If they were the bolt on type I would have done it myself.

Ok I probably just blind lol, but does H&R or Eibach make a Type 2 10mm spacer? I've looked at a few sites online and I'm only finding Type 1's with a 10mm spacer. The lowest Type 2 that I can find is 15mm. I really don't care to replace the studs, can someone post a link to a site with 10mm Type 2 spacer :)

pedz- looks perfect! :tup:

Thank you sir. :tup:

Heres another pic for you guys since we dont have enough in here. I did the 20mm all around with built in studs. Not sure if they will rub or not i got coilovers and have been messing with the suspension but its winter and the car wont move till April.

nice tool case too. :yum:

When using the 20mm spacers with the built-in studs do the wheels fit back flush against the spacer? In other word, the nuts that hold the spacer in place are deep enough so that they don't hit the wheel? Do you have to mount these spacers with an impact wrench to get them tight enough? Any idea of the correct torque? Sorry for the questions. Thanks in advance. :tiphat:

Yes the wheels fit good, you have to order at least a 20mm or more spacer for the stock 19"s to clear. there is some offset in the wheel to allow some of your original studs to go into, but you need at least a 20mm to do so. The spacers I bought had instructions but from Japan, I only could decode that the nuts with the kit need to be tq' to 90NM, so I impacted them on and then checked with TQ Wrench. Make sure you use a TQ wrench because my inpact didnt do the trick and the spacers are Aluminum, so a TQ wrench is recomended.

Great info...thanks!

This is not accurate. I installed 15mm H&R with the built-in studs and no issues with them clearing the OEM 19s. But I believe you cannot go narrower than a 15mm spacer if not replacing the studs outright with longer ones since the nuts holding the spacer on will interfere with the wheel.

I know that H&R and Eibach do not make a Type 2 spacer in 10mm size. I love my 15mm H&R Type 2 though! Perfect stance!

Do you have these 15mm spacers on the front or just the rear? I would go 20mm on the rear but I wonder if the amount of stud that protrudes would be the same on the front as the rear. I would like to do 15mm on the front if possible.

When I ordered mine they said only 20mm and bigger will work with factory rims and studs, so i dunno who came up with them not working then. I wish I would have done 20/25 rear the rear end does need just a little more then 20mm.

I installed on rear only. Stillen's website says you cannot install H&R DRM (type 2) spacers at all up front with OEM wheels. I know there is a bolt on the hub to prevent rear wheels from being accidentally installed on the front. Not sure if this is the cause, but you can remove that bolt. Or maybe the OEM front wheels do not have any kind of recess for the spacer stud to extend into.

I removed the bolt up front as it does nothing, and installed the 20mm Type 2 Spacers. This worked fine. I didnt buy those type of spacers though. I got the Kics project brand without the center ring.

i didn't know if i had to post this here, but here are some pics of my Z1 20mm spacers with the built-in studs that i did a few hours ago. (Only the rear)

By the way, i have a question for you guys that installed the built-in studs spacer.
When you tightened your wheel on the spacer, did yours built-in studs moves a few millimeters forwards due to the torque??
i thing it's normal, i just want to have a confirmation from you..

Wheel specs are : 20x8,5 ET 38 front and 20x10 ET 25 Rear, pretty much like the oem 19'' wheels

The front will need it to, but i don't know if it will be 15mm or 20mm, what you thing??

see you

Do I NEED to use the extended studs for a 10mm spacer? I'm sure it's recommended but didn't kno if I could safely get away without installing them

YES, you NEED either to install extended studs or purchase a spacer with built-in studs. I did a 5mm spacer up front without extended studs, but I wouldn't go any thicker than 5mm if you don't plan to use extended studs.

Type 2 Spacer install - Time Lapse
 

Spacer install - Front (20mm) and Rear (25mm) with before and after shots.



Thanks CPZ

^^^ cool vid... Any rubbing?

Two days on them. No rub so far. Stock height. :driving:

Looks great. Just received my H & R spacers, 20mm all around. I'll install tomorrow. Did you use any Loctite 242 on the hub bolts? Some people have suggested that to prevent the spacer from loosening. Where did you get he 80 lb. torque rating?

I think the manual says 80-85 lbs

Anti-Seize on the parts. I will check the nut torque at 500-1,000 miles.

i see people been using 25/20 spacers with the base 18's. would this still work with no rubbing when i lower the z on teins? anyone?

Just installed my Z1 spacers last night . Did 20/25 , here's some pics

i use a z1 spacer for my winter wheels. there good i like em. is noone lowering a z with the base 18's? everyone seems like they have the 19" rays. :mad:

im gonna have to lower it first then measure i guess.

Would it be fine if I only place a 15mm spacers on the rear wheel and leave the fronts stock. Would there be a problem with the balance/stability of the car?

20mm all around. Car looks sooooo much better.

I have an opportunity to get some free spacers without studs, and I did not want open ended lug nuts with factory rims....

So for anyone looking for stud sizes, the factory ones are 42mm. I would assume you would add the spacer size to the factory size to get the length of stud you need. This took me about 30 mins of searching, so hopefully this helps someone out haha.
