problem with pushing out the stockers is that it's too narrow. looks like a crab walking around. :icon17:

Just ordered Z1 20mm all around. Hopefully I made the right choice going with 20 on the rear. My tires are currently 275 but I have plans of getting 305 for the rear eventually depending on whether or not I upgrade to new wheels.

Currently have Swift rear springs for an approx 1" drop and SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts in the back. Front is stock.

Running 255s on front and 305s on the rear. I am thinking I'm going to go the 20/25 route, probably from B2. I'll toss some pics up when I get 'em on, but it'll be a while... lots of other expenditures this month. <sigh>

Does anyone have pics of 25mm all around?

Hi guys i need some help... i know that everyone are going to tell me use the search button hahaha!!! but i think this is the thread for ask this... My next mod are going to be new wheels in 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 +12 offset all around. I see that some members with that setup are using a 5mm spacer for the rear to get the wheel more flush... I want to know what is the best 5mm spacers that i cant buy... I never use spacers on my cars :(

Thanks for the help!!!

Anybody familiar with the v3 spacers? I was looking for reviews but did not find any.

Has anyone tried 25mm all around and have pics? I'm lowered on h&r sport springs so I'm guessing the negative camber up front will help it sit flush rather than poke

Ok I have some Ichiba 20mm stud replacement spacers. Problem is finding studs to fit. Factory studs are 42mm, Ichiba sell 50mm extended studs. Im not the best at math but I dont trust those to be enough thread. Anyone use the 20mm with factory wheels and 50mm studs? Simple math says 62mm but thats a no go on any site. The only option I see are the 3" $6 a piece ones and thats just insane...

Update: Found the exact size needed for 20mm spacers in the UK.
129.47 for 25 shipped!!
M12-1.25 x 62mm

I've been thinking about going 20mm all around. Hub Centric in my case. Hopefully I don't rub.

I have swift springs on 20inch wheels. Anybody got these particular setup with 20 mm all around?

Just an FYI for those with spacers, Discount/America's Tire will no longer work on your car with spacers (unless they're bolted onto the wheels), because they cannot guarantee proper torque when putting the wheel back on.

You have to remove the wheel yourself at home and take it in.


Frustrating...

I read this entire thread, and purchased 20mm Z1 spacers (front and rear) for my 09 370z and installed them last night.

It would have been helpful, if someone would have mentioned in 15 pages that you need a 12mm for the bolt on the front wheels. :P

Would it be safe to assume that someone doing this would already have a 12mm?

Yeah, you need 20mm+

Question for you all, sorry for piggybacking....in running 10.5s in the rear with a 22 offset and i want to run a 10mm bolt on spacer/stud so i dont have to go thru the headache of installing new studs, anyone have an idea of brand or have a link to certain ones I should use

No, it wouldn't. I took my 21mm thin wall socket and torque wrench to meet a friend who had slim jack I needed. I did not bring an entire tool box or socket set.

There is no mention in 15 pages of "yeah the bolt on the front wheel assembly is a bolt holding a sleeve against it, and it comes right off with a 12mm". No one even mentions anything about it other than a bolt being there. lol very bizarre.

Fairly standard with parts etc to have a "tools needed" even included in the product description. Such as the post MAF tubes.

Oh well, FYI to future wheel spacer buyers..the bolts on the fronts screw a sleeve against the assembly, the bolt is a 12mm and the sleeve falls right off after the bolt is removed. No need to remove a rotor or anything else.

Yes but you need to remove the 12mm bolt first, otherwise you cant fit a 20mm spacer on the front wheel assembly.

Or you could bring the entire tool kit - I believe this is an implied necessity.


Just my $.02.

i use a pair of FIC's on my other car. they're like 200 a pop though for the 10mm, but hubcentric one piece (has lip unlike kic's 10mm).

check ssr's site.

double check that your wheel disc has voids between the lug holes. otherwise your stock stud will hit the back of your wheel disc.

here: you'll want the 66 center hole with 12x1.25mm

Thank You good sirs :tiphat:

np, good luck with your project.

Hey guys, quick question, I just need to re-torque my spacers once after I install them after XXX number of miles right? I don't need to re-torque the spacers every so often do I?

Would just retorque them after a few miles.

I actually never did even that :eekdance:, but I haven't had an issue in the 25k miles since.

i use loctite blue on the spacer lugs and let them dry overnight. ive never had issues of them backing out on their own... nor issues where they would seize up from the loctite. i can remove them with hand tools.

obviously i dont use loctite on the lug nuts that hold the wheels. i just retorque after driving 10miles or so. repeat a few times just to be safe.

Thank you boys, I appreciate it.

np, GL with your project.

Problem ?
 

Anyone experienced wheels getting stuck on the spacer ?

I've got ichiba V2 spacers and I tried to remove my wheels today, they are pretty stuck there ... I'll try to hammer them tomorrow but i'm I the only one ?


Thx

Any tip and tricks will be appreciated !

yea it happens, use some anti-seize next time

I've read in this thread that 20mm bolt on style of spacers both CAN and CANNOT be used on the front wheels if you have Rays. Is there a definitive answer to this??

CNC Aluminum Bolt-On Wheel Spacers (20mm, 25mm, & 30mm)

I was looking to buy the above all the way around.

I have the Rays with 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the back. I haven't had any problems at all. And they are the bolt on ones.

I just ordered the Eibach Pro-Spacers System 4, 20mm front & 25mm rear for a 2010 Z with stock springs/suspension and stock Rays. I haven't seen any posts about any conflicts with this setup so hope all goes well. I'll post back shortly.

I wouldn't replace studs for track. Track duty sees more torsional stress on the lengthened studs which can stretch or break the studs and cause the wheel to come loose or fall off.

Bolt on spacers are torqued down on the wheel and on the spacer so there is no torsional stress on the studs.

Tell me if I'm wrong

I've got 20mm H&R bolt-ons all around w/ my oem 19" Rays

No problems.

did you order these up yet? i just jumped on here looking to answer the same question. the stillen site says the bolt on h&r's won't fit the front wheels but i could have sworn i saw people on here with them on the fronts. i just bought my z and i'm looking at the z1 spacers. 20 front/25 rear. that seems to be best looking option on the factory rays.

as i was saying :)

So I read a few threads, Many speak of the stock rays working. Im just about set on 15mm front and 20mm rear, BUT I have one question (please don't bash me :( ...

I plan to put 305s on the rear the next couple of months... the 20mm spacers in the rear shouldn't create and issue right? EDIT: stock ride height, no plans to lower

I have 15mm and 305's. The tire was flush at the top. I think 20 would look just as good.

Im just worried about rubbing. Guess it can't hurt to try. ...
