They seem to be about 125 each on tiresdirect, a sponsor here

What's the biggest size spacers I can put on a G with factory rims without having to extend lug nuts? I am so torn between other wheels but I love the 19" factory

Buy the spacers with studs on them, then you don't have to worry about that- otherwise you can only go like 5mm-8mm without changing to extended studs

so like i said before i have 20x9 +25 with 245/35 20x10 +25 with 275/35 and what ambiguous said i should be able to run this setup with 15mm spacers up front and 20mm in the back with fenders rolled.

Question is though, so what would my offset be if i add the spacers?
Would it make it 20x9 +10 and 20x10 +5? just confused more than anything. Spacers are coming in this tomorrow, but wont be able to install them til this weekend-next week since i want to roll my fenders first.

Hopefully not rub! dropped on 350z stech.
Really appreciate your help!
Yes your offsets will be +10 in the front and +5 in the rear....you will need a flat roll to make sure they don't rub....just make sure to get a good job done on the roll before you install the spacers and you will be fine man

go 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the rear....buy with the built in studs and you won't have to worry about buying extended lugs...done deal

sorry to ask again, just looking on a confirmation before I order:

Anyone have any insight on the following:

20x10.5 all around on stance SC-5ive +27 with 265/30/20 rear and either 265/35/20f or 255/35/20?

Any better tire recommendations? Any recommendations against running 10.5 all around?

I know others have done it on CV3s and other wheels, just havent seen it on a g35 with the SC5s. Seen a G37 with them.

Just curious as to whether you guys think it will rub or if any modifications will need done.

Will be on bc coils and lowered a little cant go too low or else Ill never get over the speed humps in our neighborhood lol

Any help?

Question regarding spacers, trying to decide if I should go with a 10 or 15mm spacer all the way around. Wheel specs are 19x9.5/10.5 +23/24 with 245/35 and 275/35 tires, car is lowered on 350z gf210 springs and i know the 10mm will be fine but just want to make sure I won't rub if I go with the 15mm spacers

Ya the rears have a mild roll, front it stock.. I know I can get away with the 10mm no problem bc I used to run +12 all the way around no problems, just not sure if going the extra 5mm will cause any problems

I used to run +12's too and had same specs for wheel widths and tires and when i went with 10mm spacer it was too much and i rubbed on any bump and thats with me having a completely flattened fender....using a 5mm I would have been fine but i am also much lower than just springs..

Since you only have a mild roll you would need to add in more negative camber for it not to rub...regardless with your tire specs and mild roll it will be close

yeah man 10mm is decent enough and to not rub with the 15mm you'd need a better roll or more negative camber, all up to you though

I am trying to get my Work VS-XX re-lipped to 4" and 5" lips, but it would put them at
19x11.5 +16 and 19x12.5 +4
Is that too wide to fit on a coupe? Would I need to do any major fender work cause it will be dropped or Should I re-barrel so the wheels aren't so wide?

18x9.75 +20

I'm currently itching to pull the trigger on a set of XXR 530's 18x9.75 +20 with 225/40 all around. The tires are definitely stretched. The rims are fresh and the tires only have 5000 miles on them.

I am lowered on Tokico D-specs and Tanabe DF210's on a 2003 Sedan.. does anyone have a similar setup or have knowledge if I will encounter any serious rubbing? I can roll my fenders but I am not open to flaring them.

Thanks!

Hey Blain, so today I lowered my car and literally slammed it! The fronts no issues, but the rears my inside barrel of my rims were scrapping my coilover collar? Is this something you went through? We adjusted the camber a bit to clear the fender and lowered the rears and thats it. Is this normal? Or is there a fix to this? My rear is 19x10.5 +29 245/35/19s. Running BC coilovers.

How the rears looked after we lowered it and gave it a little more camber....


For the temporary fix we readjusted the camber and raised the rears a little over half an inch.
