anyone else running spacers?

Just got these from Blitz and was wondering if anyone might know how well spacers ride on a car. I know I wanted a better fitment and agressive rims but i aint got agressive rim money at the moment :). Any suggestions or opinions?

Let me know what you think? Thanks folks

Ps. dont worry springs are on the way from Japan :)

looking good, Marcus. U got that old school look going, it kinda looks like the Re Amemiya rims for the Rx7.

spacers are fine...you wont notice. 
 
I drift on Spacers, daily drive on spacers too ;)

I drift on Spacers, daily drive on spacers too ;)[/QUOTE]I drifted on spacers as well, I currently have 15mm on my DH's which are daily driven, no problems here and I've maxed out the clearance as much as possible with just a rolled fender and stock camber. I say add some 30mm spacers to those wheels. If possible, I would recommend the spacer/adapters so you don't have to worry about replacing the oem studs with longer ones.

It's lookin good bro. I can't wait for u to lower it.

Yep, I concur about not noticing spacers - i had 21mm spacers on the rear of my widebody Cima; actually when i bought it, there were 2 x 21mm spacers on each side (total 42mm)!!! Fearing some retribution from the cops i took one set off, but didnt notice any difference.
 
Btw, although that sits 'flush' right now, when you lower it, you will need another inch of spacers at the very least...

[QUOTE=Dominik;67974]Btw, although that sits 'flush' right now, when you lower it, you will need another inch of spacers at the very least...[/QUOTE]Yup I agree, that's why I mentioned 30mm to be safe. Looks good so far though.

I ran spacers on the 20's and did not notice any difference besides a little more stick to the road..Yeup after u lower her you will deff need them. 
 
Looking good I love the white...:thumbsup:

we just put 15mm and 18mm spacers on an LS w/ ARP extended lug studs. if u dont run spcaers that have lugs on them, make sure u get extended lugs!

I ordered some 15mm spacers with stud extenders on them. With my 1.8" tp 2" drop, you think it will sit better? Right now with those 20x9.5 +35 all the way around, the front was being chewed up without them. I just wanna make sure it will be a flush until I get coilovers :)

unfortunately, the Esprella's will be in in about another month and a half :( But I am sure they will turn out well worth it. Besides, I'm tired of coming out to Fusion and on cruises looking like a donk :)

I put spacers on my sisters car after I bought her rims. I only put them on the rear though since the rear studs were long and the fronts were short :o

damn sick wheels on your ride man. they loook wayyyyyy better than the stock 350z 17's i got on. but i feel ya on the no money for rims. im still workin on my loot and maybe i can roll with yall to fuzion when i get some wheels

ive been rolling on spacers on past and present cars..
i ran 20mm(H&R) and an extra 3mm on top of that for almost a year.
and on my previous car, i ran 1/2" spacers + 3mm on top of that.
as long as you make sure its all done right, i think you're fine..


ALSO, u can get good quality spacers from like onetongarage
and 88rotors has 8mm spacers that are really good quality..

i noticed the pepboys 1/3 or 1/2" ones have a lot of "slack"
in the thickness.. so u gotta make sure u run good spacers..

yeah, dont get the pep-boys type spacers. Get ones with built in studs....
 
Im currently running Battle Garage (and a car on lug changers)  on a couple cars but you dont have to get any JDM type of spacers. Theyre all pretty much the same if you buy from a quality company.

You dont have to get JDM stuffs, There are US companies that custom mill quality spacers for pretty cheap. :thumbsup:

man still roll anyways. i only put them on for test fit. They aint on right now. Just imagine, three y33's rollin in. The wheels are a statement on the car but as a group its a better crowd. Makes you feel any better, I have to cruise with Pancakes all the time stock except my exhaust :(

Hehehhehehe!
It's so people can see what my car looked like stock and so they can see where u headed bro! Hahahahha!

thanks to Chris aka J Stuff, I'm running 1" Kics all around. rides well. :smiley:

So the spacers with the longer studs built on to them are safe. Someone was telling me they werent safe. I definitely need some for my rear so I can get the flush look. But they are safe?

Kool. I'll have to get some then. DriftGirl you said you used BattleGarage? Does anyone have a good link to find some good spacers? :D

Anybody know who makes a 4x114.3 15mm adapter, where I dont have to change the wheel studs with longer ones? I've seen them on yahoo! auction japan, but is there any available in the US?

TCSportline spacers are cheap and pretty reliable (I've used 30mm's for my old drift events). You can find them on ebay. I'm using TCSportline 15mm's on my Works right now.

the ebay link didn't mwork for me, it just took me to the ebay motors homepage.
I think I know which ones your talking about though, and they won't work with my rims, cause my rims is flat in the back, it doesn't have those open spaces. I need something that will mount like this

a good spacer is centric on both the hub and wheel side.  anything off the shelf will not offer this, unless the wheel and hub are produced by the same manufacturer.
