spacers

Okay I have looked at the pics of the 15mm with stock 275 rears and again the 20mm with 305/30 and tried to picture a 20mm with 275/35 or with a 285/35 and you are starting to convince me.

What is holding me back is that on my previous 350Z I had a reputable shop that had done a lot of fender rolls and spacer installs for several car brands and they took measurements and flat out said 20 mm for the rear on stock rim and stock tire size. Well when all was installed they said Oh You Could Have Gone to 25mm with that camber. So you know where I am coming from.

With the 25mm, they are bolt on type so I can sell them if they are too large. The 20mm are stud replacement type and they can only be used once. Take em off and you have to trash the studs and buy new studs at about $50 for a set. So if I go to small (20mm) then I am hosed on any resale if I want to go larger (25mm). Just the opposite if I start out large (25mm - bolt on type ) and they don’t fit or over extend past the wheel, further outside the wheel well than desired, they can be re-sold with out incurring any additional cost to the buyer.

I have to pull the trigger soon before my super sale price expires with a vendor. I wish Mike had his wheels mounted back up.

My replacement rotors arrive tomorrow.

I took an old computer chair, removed the back so it's just a seat on wheels, and lowered it all the way so I could sit down for lower areas of the car when I am too pooped to kneel

Damn.....I must be a glutton for pain! Another good tip...this might be an idea for the start of a separate thread and call it "tips of the trade with normal household goods". With this economy, every little bit helps.

kudos again!

I love it, Damn thing rolls nice and easy and sits pretty low. I detailed the Z a few weeks back, and by the time I got to removing the wax by hand, the "rolling stool" was a lifesaver
