Eibach Wheel Spacers

As some of you know, I recently bought 2009 Maxima 19" Sport Wheels.

The problem? HUGE +50mm offset! The good news? Gives me the option to go with a +25mm Eibach Spacer wich means I do not have to replace the factory studs. This part number comes with studs already attached to the spacer. This in-turn, utilizes the factory studs to attach the wheel spacer to the rotor.

The spacers have no vibration what-so-ever. They are hubcentric. Incindentally, 25mm is about a inch.

Here you'll see before then after shots of with and without the 1 inch spacer. let me tell you, it looks way nicer from the sides and the back. Now I have to wait for the two front wheell spacers to arrive. As you can see it fills the wheelwells better with the spacers.

Thanks guys. Those black dubs are sharp!

Here's a picture from the rear. Even with 245 tires the stance looks nice and wide. As you can see from the second picture I'm staggered big time. The fronts are still at a +50mm offset. I can't wait for the other spacers to come in for the fronts.




STAGGERED BIG TIME!

Still trying to find someone who has them in stock. Hopefully I'll have them by next weekend. IN my opinion, with a 8 inch wheel +25mm offset is the perfect stance for most applications if you like your wheel flush. I am lowered .5 inches in the rear (Eibachs with a .3 inch rear spring spacer). So far no rubbing at all. My AGX shocks are set at 6 so they do have less bounce than OEM shocks. With GR2's this offset should not be a problem.

If you have a factory 18" wheel, then a 15mm spacer is as wide as you should go. I'm guessing that a 5mm spacer does not require you replace the studs. I think 5mm spacers would look great on your car fastmax. Even in just the rears to give you a staggered look. About $55 a pair.

5mm spacers do NOT require studs, but I believe some come with them anyway.

I had 15mm in the rear with the 350Z track wheels; 18x8 with a 30 offset and only one side rubbed, but the other was alright.

Mang that ish is nice! I need to get it. How much is this wheel spacer thing? I have 20" TSW Sennerton and I lowered it with Eibach pro-kit. The tires size are 245/35/20. It dosent rubb, but if I get the spacer to stick out and flush with my fender and 1/4 panel, will it rubb? Please help! Thanx

WOW, man that looks sick! How is it you only paid $1K?

My wheels are Konigs and the tires are 245/45/18 Riken Raptor ZR rated...(second line of Michelin) the wheels alone were $1k and the tires are $600. The CDN dollar is roughly par with the US now.

Did you have any camber adjustment problems after the lowering kit and wheel spacers were installed?
