Hey guys I want to get some rear spacers for my Max, but I'm not sure with which ones should I go with 15mm or 20mm? I have 235/40/18 Mille Miglia Evo wheels and need a little advice with what I should go with to get that perfect/non rubing wide wheel look on the back. I've already looked at H&Rs spacers and I think I might go with them, just not sure what size would be recommended.
BTW I'm pretty sure my MM Evo rims are 18x8 but does anyone know what offset are they?

 

I have the same wheels and 15mm seems to be just fine.

 

Hmmmm can you post some pics? I've seen your sig pic of Evos on your Max before but could never find more, bigger pics.

 

hey shurik.. i thought i posted pics with my 15mm spacers for ya a while bak! My thread is floatin around somewhere.. I post pics later of them again when i get a chance.

 

15 in the rear, 5 in front. I need better angles to accent the spacers, but right now the wheels wont go on until later in the year, and well, I don't have anymore pics aside from this one. (w/the spacers)

 

Yess your post was the first thing in my mind before I posted!! I was looking for it but couldn't find it, I don't know where it's at

Post pics when you can, would love to see them again! When you post, also let me know what offset you got and all that info if possible.

NmexMAX thanks for the pic, looks pretty good but yeah it is hard to tell from that angel!
BTW what rotors did you use there on your max, any problems with them?

 

RTP rotors and nope, no problems with them thus far 35k, 15 months.

 

Where did you get yours at? Did you get new pads with new rotors?

 

OutMaxxed can you post some pics in here?

 

Here ya go buddy!

 

what size spacers do you recomend for stock five spoke? anyone? on a 2000

 

I think my passenger rear side sticks out more b/c i have yet to recenter my beam. But these are 15mm H&r's that are hubcentric. I took a trip over the summer and had my trunk FULL with 3 ppl in the bak. Im on maxspeeds and the tire rubbed on the tab where the bumper is bolted to the rear fender. It ONLY rubbed when hit big bumps in the road that caused the rear end to go up and down. I sanded that tab down with a dremmel.

To be honest i dont think ur gonna have a problem with that unless ur always under load. BTW.. wheels are a 42 mm offset IIRC. Hope this helped u man!!

 

Honestly, i cant remember the offset for the 16' 5 spokes. But you can do this to find out... Grab a ruler with "mm" readings on it and measure from the tire to the fender how much you want the wheel to stick out. Oh and remember this as well...the lower the offset (IE-35/30mm), the smaller the spacer you will need for the tire to reach the fender. Hope this helps u towinnh..

 

Ok pics look great bro! thanks a lot, I will go with H&Rs 15mm

 

thanx that is the only thing i dislike about my max is that it doesnt have a wide enough stace

 

Check the GD forum for all the items you asked about.

 

I went with 15mm hubcentric H&R's for the rear on my car to match up with the 35mm offset 18's I have installed. Brought them out far enough for me to be happy.

^^^ yeah I remember seeing your thread Tim, thanks for the response, good info!

 

I also have the 15mm spacers and I rub under hard cornering with a full tank of gas. I'd rather leave the tab intact, but I plan to recenter my beam in the spring. Hope that will eliminate the rubbing.

 

You mean the General Descussion threads? No couldn't find anything there, can you post a link?

 

GD = Group Deal

 

anyone know they fitment size for the 5th gen max with 17x7 wheel size? I know its probably a stupid question but i would really appreciate any help?

 

They fitment size? Too vague, don't know you're talking about.

 

i dont know much about these spacers obviously, but i like the stance they give the car. Is there a universal size or are there different sizes for different rotors/wheels/tires...?

 

Check the GD section for H&R spacers. Also, the wheel/tire thread has plenty of info re: the subject. http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=71

 

In most cases do you alllways need longer studs?
Can you get away with the same studs safely?


2 weeks from Now i want to order spacers, h&r, illuminas
Most likely install all at once

 

For obvious reasons, it depends on the size of the spacers. I wouldn't take the stock studs further than 5mm spacers personally.

 

stud swapping is... 1/2 way to being a PITA ...IMO

 

It really isn't IMO. The ***** about it is when you're reinstalling, sometimes you pop it off and have to fish for it to come back.

 

There is a write up for installing the new studs.

 

I have 19x8.5 rims with a 38mm offset and 245/35/19 tires. I installed 5mm H&R spacers up front and 15mm H&R spacers at the rear. I also have S-techs.

José, do you have any rubbing in the rear? I'm sure you recentered your beam no?

 

I got 35mm offset wheels and I have 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the back.

That effectively makes my front 20mm offset and my rear 15mm offset.

I just rolled my rear fenders yesterday and I lowered it to a 1-finger gap. No rubbing so far.

I'm waiting on my 15mm spacers to arrive in the front (they will poke out a little more than the back obviously but I will tuck them in with a little camber.

 

No rubbing and yes, the rear beam was recentered.

 

I still need to recenter mine. It'd be easier with air tools, which I don't have.

 

I tried recentering mine and it didn't work for some reason! Still rubs one one side. I might need to try that again, maybe it'll work this time, but I don't know why didn't it work the first time.

 

That's because you didn't do it right.

 

what if your rims are 42mm front and rear what size spacers would you need front and rear?

 

Did exactly, I mean exactly like it was described in that thread. I took my time on this just to get it all right, and still ended up not fixing it!
