Decided to get some wheel spacers for my G37 with Stock Wheels. Wheel gap bothered me and could not take no more. Our bore size is 66.2mm Eibach has wheel spacers for 370Z which is 66.1mm. They are 1/10 of a mm less but as expected fits perfect. IMO better than 66.2mm.

Lets start with cleaning rotor top hats. I used sand paper to make the surface smooth. Make sure to work on the hub as well.

Before Sanding



After Sanding



Apply anti-seize lubricant, well prevent from nuts from getting stuck.



Also apply on wheel spacer where meets the hub. Last thing you want
is to have spacers stuck on the hub.



Encase you don't know what anti-seize looks like...... Under severe
brake temperature. Spacers will seize into the hub. Making removal
very difficult. This stuff is good for 1K degrees +



Make sure to torque the nuts properly. Just like your wheels, in star
pattern. And torque @ 89 ft/tq.



Encase you are wondering if the studs will get in the way between the
spacers and your wheel. As you can see the wheels are hollow
between studs. So even if they stick out will not be a problem.



NOW SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES

Now its your turn. We will include everything you need to DIY wheel spacer installation.



Your choice Eibach's DRM spacers. Which includes bolts and independent studs from spacers itself.

When you purchase wheel spacers from JEB. For all 4 wheels..... We will include following so you can DIY. And to save even more.

1/2" drive click stop torque wrench, A $50 value absolutely free of charge.

 

 

Nice!///////

 

Is this modification done for appearance purposes only, or there is some positive effect on handling/stability?

 

thank you
appearance purpose only. For better handling/stability a wider, lighter, and proper offset wheels are recommended.

 

Great write up!

 

What are you dropped on? Are you rubbing? I wanted to get 25s...but was scared of rub so went with 20 instead.

 

dont forget to mention incrementally increasing torque in the star pattern.
i went from 35ftlbs star pattern, then 50ftlbs, then 65 then 80, then 85.

btw, is the pricing for a pair or 4?

 

I would NOT use anti seize on lug nuts.
If you do the torque values need to be adjusted.

Torque values (should be 85 ft lbs) are based on dry fitting. Based on the friction of the nut to the stud and wheel.


You are modifying the friction coefficient of the nut.
Your equivalent torque to the studs with anti-seize is now around 99 ft lbs !!!

 

Thank you
dropped on V3. You need to shave the bracket that holds you bumper and rear part of the fender. And re-locate the bolt. Also Bumper does need 5-8mm shaving. This only will apply to 25mm spacers. However I did not do any thing to front fender.
Definitely star pattern, it was late when I got done with spacers. Thanks for chime in and add crucial detail. Increments even better. The price listed is retail price, but PM us if you are interested. Will be surprised.
Absolutely no anti seize should go on the lug nuts. Only on the studs which secures the spacers. Under braking they get super hot. And the nuts will seize into the studs. I rather check the torque frequently. Over-torque may strip the studs and or bolts, and may dent the aluminum spacers. If one of the bolts eat into the spacers itself proper torque may not be achieved. 99 IMO sounds too much. MAX 90 ft lbs IMO is better.

 

can you provide a pic of what needs to be shaved on rear bumper holder please ??

 

Can we delete this DIY??

Anti seize on lug nuts is a NONO!!
