Spacers for the 7th Gen
I have factory 18" wheels with Eibach springs. I'm looking for spacers to give the wheels just enough space to look flush from the sides. Anyone can recommend anything? Would appreciate you have links or pictures

H&R DRM Type TRAK Spacers. I have the OEM 19's & I went with 20mm up front & 25 in the rear. Really brought the look of the car together. I bought mine from Stillen.

Thanks, I'm having my Eibach springs installed tomorrow and I'm about to order the spacers. Did you need Camber kits? Any issues with alignment? Also with the spacers did you have to constantly check torque or once you put them on they're good to go? Would appreciate your input.

Hey 1996BlackMax
I'm also looking into putting spacers on my Maxima, I have OEM 19". I know i want to put 20mm in front and 25mm in the back, my only question is Balance and Rotation. I have read that if you go to Discount Tire for Balance and Rotation, to ask them not to use the airgun, instead to do it by hand. Is any of this true?

Your welcome. In my case, the car needed the rear camber kit to get the alignment in spec. I did take my wheels off to recheck the torque on the spacers after installing them. I do this any time the spacers come off & go back on.

Putting them by hand is the best way. You do not want them using an impact gun on them. I also go to discount & was told by them that their gun doesnt put a lot of force on the lug nuts.

Dependent upon your Discount Tire's management, but the three times that I have went there in two different cities, they handled it exactly the same. The guys used the impact gun to spin the lug nut on with barely any amount of torque, then used a torque wrench to torque down the wheel after it was on the ground. Specify the amount of torque you want considering you have spacers, but they will follow what the OEM specs are.
