why get spacers just buy some wider wheels, going wider means pulling fenders and camber adjustments
how much more you trying to go ?


I had 10.5 +22 and back and thought it was perfect for not much camber or fender work

looks good jfisher.

Your G is super clean with those Z wheels.

 

They were cheap and they're OEM wheels. A 30mm spacer should put the wheels pretty close to flush. Shouldn't need to do any pulling. The stock fenders are more or less rolled from the factory already. I have a one year warranty on the alignment so once I drop the front a little more I can take it back and have it re-aligned for free.

Not sure if you're serious on not having much camber on your rear setup... Stretched tires and cambered out wheels is just not my style. This is my daily driver so not trying to kill tires. Just want an oem'ish, clean, flush wheel / tire fitment.

 

Nice job J. That rear is tight, looking good, shouldn't take much to get that front matched up. Nice job on the window trim too

 

What a beauty great job man! Love how that blue slate looks on those Z Wheels! Shines like no other!

 

Looks great, man. I really like the black window trim on darker colors, but I'm still not sure I want to go that route on my Ivory Pearl G. And really loving those 370Z wheels on your car... they go very nicely with the Blue Slate color. Not sure how much spacer you need up front, but why not just use some 20 or 25mm bolt-on style spacers? I used the same ones in the below link with my stock wheels when I first bought my car way back in 2008.

What area of Cincinnati do you live anyway? Was just looking at your pics more closely and that looks like the old Drees neighborhood where I used to live in Mason, OH years ago. I was just back there in the Hyde Park and Anderson area last month for business and to go to the Bengals Vs. Charger's game.

 

Appreciate the kind words!

From a physics standpoint I think extended wheel studs and spacers are the better / safer way to go. I know most don't have any issues with the bolt on spacers when installed correctly, but I prefer the extended stud route. From my measurements I'm going to need a good 30mm spacer to get the wheels flush similar to the rears. A local woman (that I actually bought the wheels off of) has a stack of assorted spacers (some of which are H&R) for $50. I'm going to pick them up soon and play around with them to see which ones work best for me.

I'm down in Blue Ash so not far at all. I actually grew up in West Chester just on the other side of Butler Warren road so am very familiar with Mason. I actually go to church there and go there 2-3 times a month for work as well. Small world!

 

In actuality, from a physics standpoint, it won't really make a difference what type of spacers you go with (key factors are really clamping force and clamping area), but it sounds like you have a good plan in place, so you should be fine. I would just suggest that you make sure you get hub-centric spacers that have the center lip for the center hub of the wheel to sit on, especially since you will be going with a thick enough spacer to fully cover up the lip on the factory hub.


Small world, indeed. I actually went to Lakota High School and lived in West Chester right off West Chester Road near Butler Warren Road and 75 when I was in high school. And my first house out of college (UC grad) was in Beckett Ridge. My wife worked for Drees Homes at the time, so we ended up building a house in Green Briar off Tylersville Road in Mason right behind the 700 WLW antenna. Then we moved to Orange County, CA back in 2003.... yes, I'm "that" old. LOL

 

Be prepared to shave your liner, another member is running 25mm on these wheels and it rubs on turns. Hell, when my car was pretty low on BC's up front, they rubbed at full lock with no spacers

 

^ I agree. You will most likely have to shave the raised areas on your plastic liners if your running that flush. I'm running 20x9.5" Volk GT30's up front with +35 offset and a 5mm spacer (so basically +30mm offset) and 255/35R20's and I only get very minor rubbing when I'm turning full lock and hit a large bump (compress the suspension) at the same time once I took a dremel to the plastic liners up front. In the rear I have 20x10.5" Volk GT30's with +37 offset and 305/30R20's, but I also have a customer 30mm wide body fender set-up in the rear.

 

just updating... yknow... but what color you guy suggest i paint my tiny brakes? grey? black?

 

Why not blue?



Once I get rid of this horrific wheel gap (hopefully this Sunday) Ill post a proper pic, for now, a peep.

 

That 3.7 badge should go, too. Probably the worst example of fender badging of any manufacturer. So tacked on looking...
