It's here.

There will be some more taken tomorrow with a professional camera.

 

 

Wheels look hot with the PPW.

 

Dayum. They look way better on your car than they did on mine.

 

Thanks fellas! It's the lighter color of the car definitely offsets the wheels. I've gotten compliments already and I've only had them for a few days. Now I need to lower the car a little bit to close of that gap. If Zro ever get coilovers, then I may buy his Tanabes.

 

Alright, your next mod will be white reflectors for the front bumper. I've got my old ones I'll throw in with the exhaust.

 

Rob, you are not forgotten! I was a little set back by the tires. Soon, I'll have the Borla. Oh yes, they will be mine.

 

Whats it run ya to lower it? I wanna lower mine a tad, maybe I should get some wheels and tires though first.....

 

Zrolimit (Mike) got his Tanabes for $163.

 

^^^Yeah about $163 shipped. You can get them even cheaper than that but $160 is already low enough IMO. It dropped the car about an 1" in the front and about 1.5" in the rear. If you want to go ahead and get them, Reraise, we'll help ya put them in. Cris, the wheels look hot BTW!

 

^^^ Thanks Mike! Btw, do you have any problems clearing the speed humps at main gate?

 

Looks alright. A 1" drop all around and some 10-15mm spacers will really clean up the look as well.

 

Not if I go slow but if I ever get a new front bumper I think I'll be screwed. I was at the Rio last night, though, and about had a heartattack....their speedbumps there are total bullsh!t. No reason to have them that high and two of them so close together.

 

Sweet, I might take you up on that.... Id have no clue how to put em in, and that inch really makes the car look a lot better....

Course Mike (350ZNV) sent me over to that site with about 1632 different wheels to choose from and its hard to make up my mind heh....

 

I don't trust spacers at all. If you can convince me that spacers are safe, then I'll consider them. Also, what about the hub threads? Aren't the lugs going to have shorter travel and make the wheels unstable?

 

You can get Nismo studs which are longer than OEM.

 

Let's say I get a 15mm spacer, which stud length do I need (50 or 60 mm)?

 

Depends on your wheel face and lug nut choice. I'd go with the 60mm incase you need a bigger spacer.

Also spacers are perfectly safe as long as you use bolt on kind and not the lame shim ones.

Still, nothing beats getting proper offsets in the first place (not always an option with used wheels).

those would eliminate the need for longer studs. they are high quality and you can find some write ups from guys that use them on the other 350z forums..

my wife just ordered me some for christmas. 15mm for front and 20mm for rear

 

I'll probably be doing these when I order the blister fenders for the front and wider fenders for the rear......I'll have to see when that time comes....

 

I've had 25mm spacers on for about a year now (rear only). Got the 60mm studs to go with them. I believe the general rule is you need longer studs if you go over 15mm. I take them off when I track it, otherwise they are always on. Go to wheelspacers.com, this guy named Fred Goeske makes every set according to your specs for a good price. Think my 2 were $120 shipped. He's a trip to talk to, he helped me with a lot of questions I had about the whole process.

 

I was looking at the H&R when someone mentioned the spacers.

I'm planning on getting just the rears as well and going with 15mm at most. Do you think I still need 50mm studs at least?

 

I think you already have 50mm. Whatever it is, you shouldn't need new studs w/15mm spacers. Just take them off when you autox/track the car.

 

Sounds pretty good... next addition, 15mm spacers.

 

mine should be here this week, but they are a christmas gift from my wife so i cant actually put them on till after christmas. i will post before and after pics when i get them put on though
