Wheel Spacers 101

igotcabada

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'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. ...

If you by 20's and don't like them, I'll trade you 2 15's for 2 20's

I run V3 20mm bold on all around, car looks perfect, great for street and fun driving around canyon roads. I will however replace the studs instead, to start tracking the car.

Your spacers are installed in the pic you have online? We have a virtually identical car. I'm trying to determine if 20mm is too much for the front. Your thoughts?

I think 20mm is perfect.

I ran 20mm all around. I even had my new wheels cut to the same offset of 20mm all around.


I MAYBE would have gone 25mm in the rear, but 20mm all around gives it a nice flush look and I'm okay with that. Not too much of the tire sticking out at all.

Why would you replace the studs? Bolt on > slip on with replaced studs

So that you can use all the threads in the lug to hold it on, otherwise you're only holding that wheel on with 50% (or less, I'm not sure) of the threads.

Doesn't seem safe, nor worth the risk, IMO.
