wheel spacers
I know you guys can help me with this question! I have 19x8" Axis Hagens with a +35 offset,that I put on my 2k1 Max SE. I want to push out the rear wheels,cuz they sit too far in the wheel well. What size spacer should I buy to push the rear tires out,so that they are flush with the rear quarter panels? Also can you recommend a quality product/company. My tires are 225/35/19 Toyo Proxes ZR4. (GOT THE WHEELS AND TIRES DIRT CHEAP!) Thank You very much guys!

I bought a set of 15 mm spacers from Hogan (yoitsok) for my rear wheels. I have the same offset as you. 15 mm is about 3/4" and it still won't bring it out flush but will help quite a bit. I have yet to put mine on because I want to do it the same time as the springs...but now I am having second thoughts about those too! I have had all of the stuff for 3 months but I can't find anyone that will install them at a reasonable price...and I am kind of worried that I am going to hate the ride when I get done.
Anyone want to buy some progress springs still in the box?

Sorry if this is obvious (or too late), but on all but the thinnest (maybe 5mm or less) spacers you will probably have to replace the wheel studs with longer ones as the stock studs won't be long enough to safely hold onto the wheel once mounted. I don't think a 15mm spacer would be just a "slip on" install. I think only the really thick spacers (check H&R's site?) have integral replacement studs built-in.

The rear ones are easy since all it really is disassembling the brakes, and one dust cap and one nut and the entire hub assembly comes off for easy swapping.
The front ones require removal of braking system and then there is a ceratin angle where you can easily insert the stude and rotate it to the next one. Its seems difficult but it helps you understand the car.

Do you have pics? What brand of spacers did you buy? I want H&R spacers. I looked at their site, they don't have 10mm or 30mm spacers for Maximas.They only have 5,15,20,and 25mm spacers for the Max. Where did you get yours from?
