Easty Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Sorry guys I know it's probably been asked thousands of times but I'm stuck..... Just got another Z and thinking it needs spacers, I just don't know what size ect I should go for!! She has standard Rays on her, Iv hear that 25mm rear and 20mm front is what looks good but I really don't know. Does it affect the handling or anything else? What's the positives and negatives of them? Quote
chirag1988 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I've got the 20/25 setup like most of the people on here. I've not experience any difference at all in the handling so can't comment on that. Positives is that it makes the car look better Negatives is that you have to pay money for them 1 Quote
Rock_Steady Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I had 10" on the front and 20" on the back until I got staggered rotas Quote
KyleR Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I had 10" on the front and 20" on the back until I got staggered rotas Huh? Quote
HaydnH Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I had 10" on the front and 20" on the back until I got staggered rotas Huh? I'm hoping he means mm! 20/25mm looks great, brings the wheels to where they should have been out of the factory. Some people say they have handling issues with spacers, but most don't so I'd put it down to geometry issues that have been made worse by the spacers and would be fixed by a good alignment. Quote
Rippo350z Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I went 20 all round on my rays, looks great, feels fine, although I will be getting my tracking/alignment done for piece of mind as it did feel a little off at the beginning but was probably just paranoid. Quote
Paddy78 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I had 10" on the front and 20" on the back until I got staggered rotas You definitely didn't! 20mm front 25mm rear or 25mm front 30mm rear if you aren't lowering will be fine. Quote
Easty Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Think I'll probably go for 20mm front and 25mm rear then because I'm planning on a set of coilovers at some point. And I'll get the geo done too. Just incase. Any preference on what to go for? Seen some that are just the spacers and there pretty cheap, what's the different between them and the ones that are £80+?

allaboutthepasty Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I have the Torqen S Spacers, really good value, wouldn't really bother with anything else... Quote
HaydnH Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Anything to do with holding your wheels on, brakes, suspension etc I'd go for something reliable. Torqen on here have some nice coloured spacers or there's Eibach which are well known. I've heard of vibration issues with badly manufactured spacers. If you want to go cheap and put up with fitment issues on body kits or whatever that's fine, at least they're unlikely to break and kill you. Quote
chirag1988 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I've got the Tarmac ones on mine, he was doing a promo for £100 for all 4 corners. Failing that you also got Torqen and Eibach ones Quote
daveallen1999 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I got eibach 20mm front and 25mm rear which I got for my rays. However I put Toyo R888s on my rays to do track-days. I couldn't risk the spacers spearing whilst high speed cornering so I removed them. Ok for normal road use. Quote
davey_83 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) thus far i went with 20mm rears as for me the 25's give the rear end a 'try hard' forced look if you see what i mean. with 25's straight away you look and say, thats on spacers with so much tyre tread on show - however with the 20's it looks nice and OEM+ lookingmy 2p Edited October 31, 2015 by davey_83 1 Quote
