spacers

Mike

OK,
I have been running the version 1 front spacer in 10mm and the version 2 in 20mm. I took the rears off and still had vibrations with my street tires.

Got my track wheels and tires. Now running 25mm rear version 2 and no front spacer - all smooth.

Put the 10mm spacers on the front today and vibration is back. Removed them and its gone.

Time to pop the longer studs out of the front and try the 20mm version 2s on front next. Its just going to be a real bitch trying to remove the longer studs (I tried a little before but gave up.)

kewl...what size(s) did you go with and are you installing them on stock sport wheels and the drop?

Mike

I am sticking with the rear 25mm ichibas, as they aren't causing my vibrations, but switching to the H&Rs up front. They are 15mm. I don't have the stock sport wheels though, I have the Nismo S-tune wheels, but they are the same specs.

Good to hear that 25mm in the rear and 15 mm in the front works with no rubbing.

So the consensus is:



Lowered car
25 mm rear (only available as a bolt-on) Part # 5065662 DRM Series
DRM Series spacers bolt to the hub with existing wheel studs and special nuts (included). Wheel is bolted to new DRM wheel studs.


15 mm front (only available as a stud replacement) Part # 3065662 DRS Series
DRS Series spacers fit between the wheel and hub, and require exchanging the existing wheel studs for longer ones (studs are included).


H&R is the one to go with. H&R TRAK+® Wheel Spacers | Products || H&R Special Springs, LP

Note: the above bolt-on / stud replacement types are for H&R spacers only


Good prices from these vendors:
(look under 350Z they are the same bolt pattern as the 370Z)

Thanks keng714, Mike & antennahead ....good info

I hate to see someone else with this problem, but at least someone can relate now. The one thing that i noticed was that the centering ring sits back a few mm's from the face of the spacer. I also noticed when you test fit the centering ring to the wheel itself, if the ring is pulled back from the rim even a little, there is slop. I was thinking of having the spacers milled down until they ar the same exact thickness as the rings.

Mike

Yea, it would be nice if the wheel portion of the ring went deeper

I decided on H&R spacers. The hubcentric ring is a part of the spacer, all one piece, cut that way, not a separate piece to fit. I am glad you guys shared this with the forum.

I think the 350 spacers fit, same bolt pattern.

Hey John, The H&Rs look like a better spacer design to me with the hubcentric ring integrated. Have you gotten them on yet? Are you happy with them? Where did you get them? How much $?
Sorry for all the questions; I was ready to order the Ichaba 20mm for the front and rear till I ran across this thread. Thx, Dennis

antennahead

I had them installed last week, no issues and happy with the purchase. Paul at AE performance can get them got you, here is a link to his thread on his Z:

I don't get it, the ichiba are one piece too, no?

antennahead

I think they are two piece, meaning the hub centric section is a separate piece that you place inside the ring. Doesn't really matter I don't think, many here use the ichibas, I just wanted the one piece spacer, one less thing for me to lose
