Wheel Spacers 101

Brendan

As long as they are hubcentric, that is they are machined to an exact fit for the hub of the car, it really doesn't matter.

I'm happy with the Eibach Pro-Spacer.

Piggy backing on this thread for my question:

Is there any harm in installing 25 mm spacers In the rear and no spacer in the front?

Nope! It's all about preference and how you want it to look.

Most would recommend doing the front so it looks proportional but again it's all up to you.

No harm at all

Hi guys seen some wheels up for sale but whos knows how well these would fit and spacers etc?
20x10.5 front et25
20x10.5 rear et25

Not sure how they would sit as i have 12s on the rear at the min

hrmm the poke past hub chart is confusing for me.

Only want flush, no poke Lowered on swifts.

nismo rims are 19" x 9.5 front and 19" x 10.5 rear.

Does that mean for rear I would need 25mm and front 20mm if i'm lowered?

Edit: Looks like 15mm all around.

I assume dragus is talking about the new Nismo wheels that appeared, starting in 2015. I'm curious about the same. I'm not sure what the specs of the new Nismo wheels are, vs the previous Nismo wheels, vs the other 19" wheels on the other trims...

I too would want just a flush look. What's the point of going "poke"? Is the ultimate goal to camber the wheels, or do guys just actually want them to stay poking out? Shiiiiet I have much to learn about this stuff. Yup, just like everyone else here

By the end of the day, I want the car to remain looking stock. I want to improve the stance a bit, by doing a modest drop and push the wheels out so they don't look so sunken, but overall, have the majority of people think the car is unmodified.

The new Nismo wheels as well as the newer Sport wheels are the same offsets as the old versions. I know there is more info on what spacers are fit for a Nismo on here but not sure it is in this thread. Do a search.

Josh at Kamispeed was extremely helpful and got my order quick.
Just installed the H&R 20mm DRM (non stud replacement) spacers all around each wheel. this pic is with Swift springs installed at the same time, no alignment yet.
Heres some pics, hope this is helpful. Hopefully the springs settle a little bit more.

25mm Z1 all around, no rubbing at all, even on swifts. I love the look.

I ran 20mm front and 25mm rear on my OEM Sport Rays, and the front wheels, relative to the rears, looked a bit sunk in. You're right, 25mm all around looks great.

hey guys, sorry for the newb question, i just installed 20 inch rims on my base Z, 20x10 front, 20x11 rear, 245/35/20, 275/30/20, stern st2 rims, front of flush with the fender, rears look HORRIBLE and i spend thousands, so upsetting.. they said i need 45mm spacers for the rear to make it flush, but everyone saying its dangerous and creates too much negative camber, if i get 25mm H&R spacers for the rear, will it affect the camber? i dont want lop sided rims, i want them straight and flush, and to not mess with the camber.

can someone pm me i might forget to check this

/Angelo350Z/

What is the rear offset? If you need 45mm spacers in the rear, are your wheels 20x11 +55, or something? And no, spacers will not affect your camber.

Hi, I'm new and just got a 2011 nismo a little while ago. Like my last car I will daily it during the winter and I need to get spacers for my other wheels to clear the front calipers. I found some on amazon and was wondering if anyone could tell me if they fit because they both say they do but some of the measurements are off on them.

Another question, how do you know what length lug nuts to order with spacers to ensure they fit properly? My other car had the same bolt pattern but different thread pitch so I can't use my old ones.

These are the spacers I found:

Spacer 1

Spacer 2

I need to measure my wheels because all I know is that they are 18s no idea about offset, but when I was test fitting the wheels 23mm of space would clear the calipers so I thought getting 25mm spacers would be perfect.

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. If anyone has a better place to get spacers that would be awesome, not trying to get anything super expensive.

No one here is going to be able to help you without wheel specs

Except I can tell you those look like cheap, generic spacers. Spend a bit more and get a proper set like H&R. Check out Z1 Motorsports.
