Anyone know what mm spacers I should get for that clean flush look?

Stock suspension, stock 15 or 16in sawblades.. idk

Thx

 

10mm front, 15mm back has my wheels juuuust beneath the fenders. 15mm front, 20mm back would probably have them just barely creeping out from under the car. Very happy with how my car sit the way it is. However my car is lowered and has aftermarket wheels. But in general its going to be one of those two setups regardless.

Dont cheap out of spacers, they are a critical component that you do not want to ever fail as the consequences could be catastrophic. My H&Rs came with low profile lugnuts to attach them to the hub and had 5 fresh lugs attached already that your wheel attaches to, you wanna make sure your torque speccs are correct as well.

edit: the pic in my sig is without the spacers, ill see if i can get you a picture tomorrow if i remember to.

 

^ Agree. I see H & R has a nice selection for Maxima, G-cars, Z-cars, M-cars and more.

Some tire shops will remove or refuse to install wheels where generic spacers are used that do not provide sufficient lug bolt coverage. And for good reason too. They would be directly liable in the event the spacer was on a car in a catastrophic accident.

 

So on stock 15front n 20rear should do me good?

Why not 15 all or 20 all?

I'm seeing H&R Kits on eBay.. Front n Rears going for $300.. Sounds about right? Am I to worry about these being knock-offs?

 

When I used spacers, it was to solve a rubbing problem from running 18" wheels with tires that were from a 07 Maxima. So I just used them to get an additional 5 mm or 10 mm of clearance. I can't remember the exact width. The tires were changed to be a smaller outer diameter and solved the rubbing problem. My use was not for appearance purposes.

I found this link. Shop around. There may be better deals out there.

It depend on the offset of your wheels. 10mm or 15mm in front and 20mm in rear will get you close to a flush look from what Ive been reading and thats what Ill run with my SER wheels.

Make sure you get a hubcentric spacers. H & R is a great choice.

 

10front/15rear and 15front/20 rear are both valid choices, in reality the *perfect* number is somewhere in between so it comes to preferance, as i said i love my 10/15 setup and wouldnt have it any other way but im sure 15/20 would look just as good. Personally the less space, the less stress on the hub, so i went with the lesser option. However regardless of your choice you wont need any special hardware (other than what is supplied with the spacer) as long as you dont exceed 20mm - over that and its recomended you get lengthened studs.

The reason the rear requires +5mm over the front is because the wheels on our cars are actually very slightly staggered from the factory. If you look the front wheels protrude just the slightest bit further than the rears do. In reality this difference is less than 5mm (id guesstimate 3-4mm) but it is more noticable when you use spacers because you can see it more clearly once the wheel faces are closer to the fender edge. In the end having the rear wheels stick out just a skunt hair more looks good imo (hard to notice too) and better anyways than having the front wheels wider which looks really goofy (and very noticeable).

Hope this more or less sums things up for you. Like cs_ar and maxprivate said (and i say too lol) H&R is an excellent brand - whatever you decide on should be hubcentric as well. Just DO NOT get an ebay chinese/no name brand. Buy once cry once.

~$300 for all 4 wheels sounds about right, they will have the H&R logo on them and the fitment is flawless so you can go by that as well once you hold them.

 

Went and snapped some pics for ya.



^^ front wheel 10mm spacer(very slightly turned toward camera btw)



^^ rear wheel 15mm



^^ view from front corner

Keep in mind this is with aftermarket wheels and obviously lowered. You will need to find the offset of your wheels to find the best match, im sure that info is floating around somewhere on the forum.

 

^^ Looks great Slamrod.

 

15mm front and 25mm rear will flush you out.


I rocked that set up for a while while on coilovers. Blades looked decent fitted.


EDIT: Have pictures somewhere on my Instagram if needed for reference.
