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

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??

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.

Did you recenter your beam? I have to do that in the spring in hopes of curing my rubbing problem.

I know you know I run 25mm spacers in the rear, but I had my own set of problems there...

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.
