Wheel spacers
I dont know if any of you have noticed this, but the rear wheels and somewhat the front wheel arnt the even with the fender. Does anyone know where i can get spacers to make my rear and front ones a little more even.
Thanks, Chuck |
One more thing, if i were to but these g35 rims

You can get some H&R 5mm and 15mm spacers to help with that, but I think if you get the G35 wheels the offset is less, so they will be more flush with the fender. Nice user name BTW. :lol:

So is it safe to say that there is 10mm difference in the front and rear offsets if you only want to even out the rear?? |
I believe a 20mm spacer on the stock wheel brings out the rear flush to the fender. I have a DIY guide link to installing one, will post it later when I am home.

2. Please read the site again to find the brand |

I put 15mm H&R spacers on my rears. The kit is hubcentric and includes the proper length studs for installation.
15mm doesn't come quite flush with the fenders, but it looks a lot better than stock and does not rub at all. Keep in mind that I am also dropped on Eibach springs. With my setup, I am of the oppinion that 20mm spacers would probably rub on large dips. |

Nahh, I haven't re-centered the beam yet. It's not a priority as I'm no longer rubbing ATM. |

Check this thread I started for info on spacers to make the rear wheels even with the fronts. I have some good links in the last post:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hlight=spacers Basically, 15mm spacers on a 4th gen Max or equivalent I30 (and probably a 5th gen Max/I35) will make the rears stick out ever so slightly more than the fronts without any spacers. This assumes all 4 wheels have the same size and offset, of course. It's nice to have a tiny stagger (with the rear track wider than the front) and since you can't get 10mm spacers 15mm is ideal. 20mm would be fine too. |
