Hi guys I have a question about wheel spacers. I have 17 inch 5 spoke sport wheels and I am lowered on z springs. Would like the wheels to sit flush with the body but have got a lot of conflicting info. Does anyone know what size I should go with? Going to order them today so much thanks for any info!

20mm spacer to play it safe and 25mm to get it flush, but it might rub. It also would depend on what your camber is at as well, more negative camber, the more tucked it will look.

you could go with 25mm setup. because that's what i'm about to do. 25mm all around dropped on g35 s-techs with OEM 19s.

i purchased 20/25 setup not too long ago. i installed the 25mm in the rears, but didnt do the 20mm in the front. i'm thinking about going a tad bit wider.

right now, i have 20mm for sale (ichiba). if you're willing to remove your stock lugs, then go 20. you could go 15mm but i think youre looking for a 'flushed' look, if not close to flush. 20mm would be just right if you dont want to pinch/roll fenders.

for sale: BRAN NEW ichiba 20mm (ext. lugs included + lugnuts) -never been installed

looking for $75 shipped

I think he wheel offset is +45, so if he uses 20 he will be a +25. What I remember from Grant said it should not be a problem. I might get a pair of 15 all around for mine, just because I am thinking about getting some M45 wheels.

I have 15mm all around for my 05 18" stockers. I'll snap some pics today and post them up so you can see how close to the edge it brings it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think that the offset is 45 as well. It sounds like 20mm would be the best bet to get close to flush but should I run that all around?

If you are going 20 in the front, go 25 in the rear.

Is there a chance that the 25 in the rear will rub?

Assuming a flush tire that would be 158.9mm from the hub center. I think that should clear fine but you can check yourself. Just go measure 25mm from where they sit now and make sure it clears.

i have 25mm rear installed in my car with s-techs, and very close to rubbing (that's if i hit a pothole and alike). s-techs are lower than (revised) 350z h-techs. shouldnt be a problem. good luck!

Ok great thanks for the help. I will go with the 25mm in the rear and 20mm up front.

Do you have a coupe and a sedan since your sig says "c"? It won't be the same for the sedan.
