Wheel Spacer Advice

ccdominic · 10-06-2011, 10:13 AM

Hey guys, new Z owner, and new to the forums as well. I'm looking to drop in some wheel spacers on my stock rims. I'm lookin for a nice aggressive stance, but something that will still look nice when i look to drop it and put some nice rims and tires on there, likely about 19's. Any advice on size/brand? Thanks guys.

We stock the typical sizes of H&R Track+ spacers, and have aggressive pricing, let me know if we can help!

this is my baby. looking around, i'm getting the jist that 20 mm all around are good, but someone said they don't fit on the front stock oem rims. so maybe 15 front, 20 back?

what's your pricing like? would ship to south texas.

There are two styles of H&R Spacers, the DRM (bolt-on) and DRS (stud replacement).

The 20mm or larger DRM bolt-on style will not clear the factory front wheels, but the DRS stud replacement ones will.

We're about 10 to 1 on people going with a 15mm front and 20mm rear, but we've definitely had guys mix it up and be happy. It's a little bit about personal taste at that point.

We've had a customer nice enough to send us his DIY on the stud replacements, it's the perfect saturday afternoon project if you have basic tools.

Rear: H&R TRAK+ DRS 20mm Rear Wheel Spacer Install ? Nissan 370Z : STILLEN

DRS are less expensive than the DRM. I'll PM you the pricing.

Thanks for the reference Josh!

OP: The 15 & 20mm's are great for the best flush, yet practical look on stock suspension. If you are dropping the car and going more camber, then go bigger!
