Reference: Wheel Spacers for 18" base wheels
 

I know there is already a wheel spacers 101 thread. But almost all of the conversation and pictures are of the sport wheels. I just recently installed wheels spacers on my base wheels and decided to share my pics to give those base wheel users some reference on what they want to do.

Feel free to upload photos of spacers on your base wheels for comparison.

I just kinda took a shot in the dark for my set up I wanted aggressive!

Front 25mm
Rear 38mm

Thanks bro, I am wanting the exact same setup for my car!

For sure. While the base wheels aren't the best. I plan on keeping mine for about a year or so. And this makes a HUGE difference in the stance. The pics really don't even do it justice. Now to get rid of that wheel gap. COILS!

Yea that's what I plan on doing once I get the funds for it, hopefully my summer job will do just that!

I got my front and rears for 200. Not a special brand but they had hub centric rings. That's all I was concerned about. I confirmed fitting before the install and they were spot on. There is no milling so they are heavy but w/e they aren't permanent. Rims are far down on the list.

Great thread OP. Thank you. I won't be going that wide but I needed to see someone with base 18" rims. :)

Maybe a little too out for my liking but looks good nonetheless.

Yea man. Glad I could help. Once you get set up snap some pics and post them up.

Question...
 

The OP listed 25mm front / 38mm rear which is more aggresive.... Does anyone know what combination f/r you would use on 18" base wheels that would be more flush or a hair within the fender?

I have used spacers on other vehicles that were slightly aggresive and when car is lowered the fender rubs the sidewall of the tire on the road dips.

Thanks :tiphat:

I did 20mm & 25mm. That was flush but when I dropped it, the wheels sit a little inside the fenders again. Still way better than stock tho.

What brand spacers.did you go with?

Ichiba

I went 25 all around. Looks good IMO.

I read through the wheel spacers 101 thread several times and then this one specific to the 18" stock wheels.

I see that Ihinojos went with Ichiba 20mm all around. Are those V1's or V2"?

I have a 2013 Base Coupe (18") rims and was considering going with H&R Trak DRM 20mm up front and 25mm rears.

Checking the Stillen website for the H&R's, they mention that the 20mm "will not fit" Front 370Z wheels.

Is this specific for the H&R Trak DRM's? or is this a misprint.

Referenced here; H&R 20.0mm DRM Type TRAK+ Wheel Spacers 4065663 HR4065663 | STILLEN

edit: I will be stock height, no plans for any mods in that area anytime soon.

Looking for the same ones listed on the CZP site no mention of "No Fit" is made: H&R Trak+ 20mm Wheel Spacer Kit 5x114.3 DRM - 370Z - Nissan performance parts

Also looked up the V2's for Ichiba and no mention is made for a "No Fit" for fronts

Sorry but thoroughly confused ! Perhaps I am still missing something in all the threads, but seems many are running 20mm DRM types up front.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I like to stick with the bolt on Type 2 or (DRM) versions and no "poke" so would not want to consider anything past 20mm up front.

Thanks much for any assistance / clarifications.

Just to answer my own question and perhaps assist others.

Did some more research and ended up tracking down the info for Ichiba spacers.

Here are the stock part numbers for V2 (Bolt On's) 370Z 2009 & Up:

• 20 MM 5 x 114.3 66.1 bore 12x125 Stock Number: WS-25511466B
• 25 MM 5 x 114.3 66.1 bore 12x125 Stock Number: WS-25511466C

Referenced website: 370Z 09+

The H&R's DRM (Bolt On's) 370Z 2009 & Up are as follows:

• 20 MM 5 x 114.3 66.1 bore 12x125 Stock Number: 4065661
• 25 MM 5 x 114.3 66.1 bore 12x125 Stock number: 5065661

Reference website: trakplus.com

Ichiba's tend to be advertised a little less expensive by $15 or $20 a pair.

ichiba's are lower quality and heavier than the H&R's and Eibach's i have, but does the job.

Thanks for the additional info.

Curious to know what the weight difference is between the Ichiba/H&R/Eibach.

Any references out there to compare?

I have a set of 20/25mm H&R spacers, I can try to weigh them when I get home and see what they run.

Here's my contribution pics, I just got Z1 25f/20r mm spacers, dropped on swifts.

Zdayz 2014!!

Looks great Huck ! how much drop do you have ?

Very much appreciate you going through the trouble of weighing, but please not just on my account !

Regarding the becoming a premium member - yes in the works and getting that done :)

Thanks man, I never took the time to measure the amount of drop I got but per Swift's website it should be 1.2 and 1.0 inches. Gimme a second and I'll get a pic from the side so you can see better.

Zdayz 2014!!

Forgive the stupid filters, I just did that so you could see the tire and the gap a little better. I'm not emo, I swear.

Zdayz 2014!!

That looks super sweet, not too low but fills the gap nicely in my opinion.

Thanks for the great ref pics. plus helping out on the "18" incher thread :) with more info.

We need some love and others to chime in so we can give these 19/20 folks/thread a run !

Thanks man, I'm trying To decide between 18s and 19s right now. I want something super concave and right now that's only in 19s.

BTW I weighed my spacers, I have 20mm ones and all 4 of them weighed 5.6lbs not including the extended studs.

Zdayz 2014!!

Thx again !

As soon as I get my greedy hands on the spacers I'll weigh mine and work on setting up some Database for easy ref for others.

Love to go concave but new rims (given the mine are (stock) are all of 1.5 month old and less than 900 miles) is a long way away.....

I installed 25/20 F/R bolt-on spacers from Z1 today, on 2009 with stock springs and Goodyear Eagle F1 tires (245/275 width)
The fronts are flush, but the tires poke a bit on the rears :ugh2:
I think 15mm rears would be better...maybe even 10mm.
I'll see if I can get a shot from the rear to show it better.

So for flush on 18s what should I be using with and without swifts? Just incase I lower in the future?

I have been looking for pics of the newer base wheels with spacers,haven't found any so I just went ahead and installed 20/20.To me it looks like a perfect fit,my suspension is 100% stock.

Someone ever heard of Garage Line hubcentric spacers? they are good quality? did someone went with 25 mm front 20mm rear on base 18" ?

I can only recommend Z1's spacers. I suggest you switch those around - 20mm front / 25mm rear looks much better.

ok thank you for the suggestion, I had the opportunity to get used "garage line" but I might switch over to z1

My setup. 25mm front 30mm rear, not lowered yet, poke on the rear, front pretty much flush. Love the stance. Might have gone 25 all around if I did it again, but no issues rubbing so far. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fa7f9934ac.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ce1a0188f9.jpg

I just ordered 20mm for front and 25 for rear. Dang it my front won't be flush then.

Here's a new brand we just picked up. ISC Suspension, they make spacers specific to Nissan's hub bore.

We brought in a some 25mm to fit on a customer's car. Quality is top notch, the black finish is nice, and the hardware is :tup:

Any pictures of the current 18" black rims? I'm thinking of going 20f 25r but want to make sure the fit is still good. I'm not sure if the offset is different than the previous 18" rims.
I don't plan to lower it (but that is an option) and don't want them to pop out beyond the fender.

Here you go. 20 front, 25 rear
