Yes spacers wear out wheel bearings quicker and they put more stress on the hubs but professional drivers have been using spacers for years

As long as you properly install them and don't over torque them there is nothing to worry about with using spacers

I'm currently running 245/40/18 and 265/40/18 on 18x8 and 18x8.5 350z track wheels. Just wondering what the pros/cons of switching to 245/40 all around would be?

Rare Stich Gulf Mesh. Sky Gray faces with gold hardware. Because every other color is played out.

First/Only set of step lip Stich Gulf's in the world?





Went with a conservative 19x10 +10, 19x11.5 -7.

I need a 25mm spacer up front to clear BBK, so it's gonna be 19x10 -15. Rear needs a 5mm.

That is conservative for you. Haha. I thought I saw these on vrwheels feed? Looks fresh. I always like seeing uncommon wheels stepped with fat lips. Is the hardware new? If so, how much are they charging for gold bolts

you did. Jack posted them up. These wheels were completely redone, and he posted up the finished result. They were originally tiny lips, chrome, and peeling.

And VR doesn't do gold hardware. These are the original gold bolts that I had Jack refinish because they were in bad condition. And thank god the centercaps were mint.

I wasn't sure how the color would look but I think once it's on the car, i'll be happy.

Also, 11.5 is very conservative. Compared to 13s. Managed to order brand new NS-IIs and mounting them tomorrow. Too bad mounting them onto the car is gonna take a little longer, since I need to order spacers.

Here's how bright the color gets with some light.
