so now that you have them on for a bit, how about i quick write up, pros/cons .. and damnit man.. for the love OF GOD!!.. be honest!

 

nice, i like those rims on the coupe much better than on the sedan...

 

Because I am considering doing the same thing, I did some quick research and came up with the following:

Project Kics Wide Thread Spacers - contain new studs built in for 15mm, 20mm, 25mm sizes and up, You do not need to replace stock studs, hub centric rings are separate, not part of the spacer.

H&R Trac+ Spacers - only contain new studs built in for sizes 25mm and above - DRM models, smaller sizes you have to replace stock studs with new longer studs - DRS models, hub centric ring is part of the billet spacer, not separate.

Eibach Pro Spacers - contain new studs built in for 15mm, 20mm, 25mm sizes and up, no need to replace the stock studs, System Type 4 part numbers: 15mm - 90.4.15.001.4
20mm - 90.4.20.003.4
25mm - 90.4.25.019.4
hub centric ring is also part of the billet spacer like the H&R.

I did not get prices for all of these, but it looks like the Eibach Pro Spacers may be the best pick since they contain built in studs and built in hub centric rings. You should go to the websites and call each manufacturer to get the most accurate information for the size spacer you are looking for. I think the thread starter has the right sizes in 15mm F and 20mm R especially if you are lowered with 19's. I think this is the setup I will be using for my stock 19's. Does anyone know the center bore for our vehicles? Is it 66.1?

 

Wow, those spacers do wonders for the stockies in the looks department!

Anyone do this for the factory 03-04 18" wheels? I would love to see some pics.

I've always wished our factory wheels came with the aggressive stance like some BMW's.

 

This is the exact money shot we need. ericson112, could you PLEASE take pics like this by the bumper directly from behind the car and from the front as well.

Many thanks

shows that 66.1 is the number needed for 350z's and maximas. so it should work for us too.

I might have another source that can get them for cheaper, but I won't know for sure till Monday. Anyone interested?

(I'm gettin anxious to finally fix one thing that has annoyed me every time I look at the rims on the car - save for the desire for a larger lip in the rear.)

I'll get back to you guys Monday night, and if I don't someone shoot me a PM!!!

This is where I got mine cheapest I found ($99 a set)... put them on yesterday.

Thanks Ericson, I think it's the right set up too. 20mm might work on the front but I wouldn't risk it.

EVASIVEMOTORSPORTS.com

 

I think you're talking about

the Kics ? http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...s_Wheel_Spacer

Or did you get Eibachs at such a price? (I can't quite find them on the site, so I may as well ask)

Adrian

 

yeah, I was talking about the Kics (didn't read the whole thread)...

 

OK, so here's what I have so far. I can set up a mini group buy. Mini because only five total orders are required and I'm already ordering two!

H&R
Trak+ DRS Hubcentric spacers (no need for rings and they come with the appropriate bolts needed!)
5mm 1065662 $70.00 Shipped
15mm 3065662 $110.00 Shipped
20mm 4065662 $115.00 Shipped
25mm 5065662 $135.00 Shipped

Each price is per pair.
Remember, in order to get these prices, we need to get 5 orders total!!!. I am going to buy a 15mm for sure and I really REALLY need to see those rear pics <ahem> ericson112 to decide whether I want 25mm or 20mm in the rear.

I'm PMing you ericson112 :-)

I am still working on GB prices for the Eibachs!

Anyone interested? PM me!

Adrian

 

When you say these come with the bolts, don't you mean longer studs that have to be installed? Which H&Rs don't require new studs? 20mm?

 

http://www.hrsprings.com/site/products/trak.html

This spacer is fitted between the wheel and hub, exchanging the existing wheel studs for longer ones. The wheels are then fitted to the hub/spacer with the existing wheel nuts.

From what I understand, the spacer bolts to the car's hub, then the lugs/wheel nuts are used to bolt the rim to the spacer.

This DRS model is what is recommended from everything that I have come across so far as far as application to our Nissan/Infiniti 350Z/Gt's are concerned.

Did that help?

Adrian

 

CORECTION, we only need 5 orders TOTAL!!! and I'm already ordering two pairs for myself for the H&R GB!

The Eibach prices I got aren't any better than the others posted above, sorry.

Is anyone else interested in the H&R Spacers? I will probably set up a thread tonight in the GB section.

Adrian

 

Looks like the DRS series (5-20mm) require new, longer studs to be installed, and the DRM series (25mm) comes with new studs mounted to the spacer, therefore not requiring you to replace existing studs. Something make me nervous about sticking my rear wheels out an extra inch on each side, though.

 

smart. looks REALLY good!

 

They come with the bolts required.

If we were to purchase spacers wtih studs sticking out, we'd have to use nuts to attach to the studs.

The DRS's come with another set of bolts so you bolt the spacer to the hub of your car then you use your original bolts and bolt your rims to the spacers...

The DRA's and DRM's are for 40mm-90mm, look at the website I had given the link to earlier.

Read the DRS description. :-) Make sense now? (no sarcasm)
