Spacers on factory wheels

My car is getting its 350z S-Tech springs installed on Saturday and I was wondering if anyone has installed spacers on the factory 17's just to push them further out to the edges? Since the aftermarket wheel set from my300zx is too wide to fit the G sedan I'll be sticking with factory wheels for a little while longer.

yup it can be done. I've seen it on a sedan on here somewhere, I forget where I saw it, but if I come across it I'll post back here

I have 20mm all the way around on my OEM 18s if you want to see them. I'm also dropped more than your S-tech drop will be +rolled fenders in the rear.

So with the S Tech drop and factory 17's can I run 20mm all around without rubbing or will I need to roll fenders as well?

I think you will clear but it will be close.

Here is what an 18"x7.5" rim with 20mm spacers looks like. So, you will be 1/2" in more which should clear your un-rolled fender




I know the pics are kind of dark. I can take better snaps if you need it

Whats my limit as far as spacers go on the 17's then? I want to push these things out as far as possible. Will 25mm work or would that be pushing it?
