Wheel Spacers on 19" Rays/Stock Height
 
Hey guys,

I see posts about 20mm front/25mm rear spacers being perfect for 19" rays and lowered being perfect.

Is this not also the case for stock height 370s? Would you normally go more or less offset if its stock vs lowered?

more spacer width (for less positive offset) if you want to go lower and make it flush.

jdsuowner 05-17-2012 01:27 PM

So then for standard height, would 15mm/20mm be flush then?

I have 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear on 19"s sports rims, stock tires at stock height. Subtle, not flush in the front, but I like it.

icormba- looks good, but i would've gone the other way for stock height.

15mm for front (final ET32)
10mm for rear (final ET20)

20mm front/rear is good. Also if you plan on doing the install yourself with bolt on type spacers. (clears front wheel studs)

Handsome dog!

So stock is there about 5mm more room on the back then the front? Is that why alot of people choose 5mm more in the back?

jdsuowner 05-21-2012 12:29 PM

Did the install of 20mm all four and I must say it looks excellent. Just a tad beyond the lip.

im so confused ?

So while we're on the subject. if the nismo's have less offset 40 vs 47 front and 23 vs 30 rear that would make them set out further than stock sport rays already (by 7mm front and rear) and then being .5 in wider rim front and rear that would add another .25 (6.35mm). So looking at 13.35 difference if I wanted the same as Nismo? If this is right then I guess I would have to decide between 10 and 15.

Also those that have done them with the non bolt on style is there enough room to remove factory studs without pulling the hub? And then enough room to install a longer 10mm-15 stud?

Depend's on what your Final camber is....If you don't replace your front upper control arm's & put back close to stock/yes more spacer will be needed to fill the gap.
Lowering causes more -negative camber(wheel lean in)
For a close to flush 9/10" wheel,offsets will be +25/+12 (4"F & 5"R Front-Spacing)
So for your factory +47/+30's,,,25mm-F & 20mm-R will make you +22/+10,,,,very close....But everything depend's on what your camber is/swing could easily be 10-15mm

18x8+23/18x9+10 after spacers on base w/-0.8F camber & -0.5Rhttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f5d2a2521b.pnghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...418a9931b8.png

Just make a plumb,with nylon string,a small weight & some painters masking tape...park on level surface (no wind) with front wheels straight & measure your own gaps...you can choose to flush the sidewall of tires,wheel lips or tread on tires.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...e0c7930901.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...02e73a3ff7.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...cccec45e17.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...ef0757e230.jpg
