Newbie spacer question
Wassup guys im new to this forum thing, i just picked up my 05 laser red 6mt, i want to keep the stock 19's on there a while and i want to pick up a set of spacers. Just not sure what mm's to put on there to keep it nice and flush. Also what are your opinions on powdercoating the rims gloss black. i wanna keep the red and black theme.
please don't powedercoat the oems, they look really ugly and cheap imo but most people on here will jizz over them, just look at pictures of powdercoated oems and see if you like it
as for the spacers if you are stock height try a 15 or so, 25 might be too much and will be mexiflush

i def plan on lowering it soon, maybe some springs for now just to drop it to have a nice aggressive stance, i don't like any silver on the car i painted the grill black and im painting my headlights black as well. i wanna see pics of the stock 19's black if ya got them just to get a better idea. so 20mm's or 25's shouldbe good.. any suggestions on brands??
heres a friend of mine...25 on all 4 corners

if you plan on keep oem size tires then go 25 all round
if you planon on chaning tire size to 245/255 then go 20/25, will have to roll your fenders
you can go 245/255 with 15/20mm and not have to roll your fenders
all this in including a drop.
third line is what i have currently. Im swapping out to line 2 this week

thanks for the info.. since i can't afford a set of $2500 wheels i want the car to look as aggressive as possible so i prolly will be going for a wider tire soo seeing as how one of my tires is already worn from the previous onwner.
VA04 your buddies car is def the look im going for, what suspensionset up does he have on his ride springs or coils?.

i would say best bet is to save up for a nice set of wheels which will run you 2500+ that way you don't cheap out
of course there are cheaper alternatives that are still some highly regarded wheels such as enkei rpf1s and the like
but if you are on oems don't do too huge of a tire because it will sag and look really ugly

i'm lowered on stock 350z springs.
what are you saying? I'm utilizing oem tire setup.
F: 225/40/19
R: 245/40/19
Fenders are NOT rolled, and do not want them rolled.
what size spacers should I get for mine with my setup?
go with 15/20 spacers then when you need new tires get 245/255's
I have a pic of my car on here, do a quick search near the end of the Glance thread in so.cal section and youll see my ride with the setup i suggested with out rolling your fenders

To confirm:
I have a coupe. fenders are not rolled and do not plan to do it .I'm assuming you do not have rolled fenders either.
So are you saying 15 front, and 20 rear? or is it 15 OR 20 in the front and 15 OR 20 in the rears? the 15/20 throws me off.
Thanks you in advance.
15 front
20 rear
my fenders arent rolled
Im going more aggressive so im umping to 20f/25r and that will require me to roll my fenders.
but remeber it will still be sunken in but it wont be bad at all. Im pretty happy right now with my setup but as always, I want more.
with your oem tire size tires will be sunken in way more untill you go larger tires.
go with 245/35f 255/40r when ready for larger tire setup.
