350z wheels on s14, what size spacers?

[jfandem]

I have these wheels on my 98 s14:

I am not 100% sure of the size/offset on them, but they look pretty good on my car, but I'd like them to be a bit more flush.

What brand/size spacers would look good? I know the rears are wider. Also, do I need hub rings or anything? Anybody have pics? I do not plan to run wider fenders or overfenders or anything later on, maybe just lower my car and aero eventually. Thanks for the help!

uhh put them on a car and buy a ruler....done.....

it depends on your camber, tires size and how "flush" you want. I seen people put +higher # offset sit flush with less camber and another person with lower # offset with more camber.

Bring it to a shop, it seem like you do not grasp the simple concept of that.

hub rings are overrated. If you're going to use anything less than 15mm spacers, get extended studs and slide ons, but if you're gonna use 15mm or more, then use bolt ons (kinda common sense, since they don't make 10mm bolt ons). Other than that, if you havent even touched your fenders (i.e. rolling or pulling), then imo, don't even bother with spacers

Good choice with the base model Z wheels...they look good on the Koukis (had a set on mine before the Track editions)

Your best bet would be to check out some of our Advertisers (in the advertisers special section) and see who offers hubcentric spacers per application. There are many different varieties to choose from, all of which (IIRC) are in 5mm increments of each other.

Do a search on what ones work well too...I've got no expereince using them, but do know others that have.

I personally think that with my Track Z wheels,that I could fit a 10 in the front, and a 15 in the back to look good...however unsure on the specifics of it...again, I've never had spacers.


Hopefully that works!

1. set up your suspension (camber atleast) the way you want.
2. measure in mm from the point you want to be flush to the point where you want to be flush on.
3. buy spacers + longer studs or studded spacers.
4. install. done!

*edit* you might need more than 25mm :/

Well for now the car is stock height, but i have rucas, but its pretty much set to stock spec, around -.9 or something like that i forget. Nobody has this combo? I just want it to sit a bit flusher than it is now, ill eventually lower on coilovers, and i think these wheels would look perfect if they were spaced out a bit.

[djtrickz]

just measure it then to how far you want it to be in mm and then get the spacers because flushness depends on your own preference (i.e. to the rim or to the edge of the tread or ?).

atleast 20mm spacers if i was in your shoes. Arent they 17x8 +30mm roughly?

[xcusememisswyn]

+30 spacers would be flush, maybe need a little pull.

+25 would be pretty good.

I think the front are +30 and rears are +33 and its either 17x7.5 and 17x8 or 17x8 and 17x8.5, cant remember. Would a 20mm front and 15mm rear look good?

[djtrickz]

you shouldn't chance second guesses because 10mm is a big difference. i found out the hard way. just measure iiittt. spacers are expensive :wtc:
