jon beer Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hello everyone, i've found a site, based in Coventry, who supply large spacers for the 350 Z, i'm just wondering if anyone else has come across them, and if so, has actually used there spacers. For the 350Z, they can do hubcentric spacers upto 60mm per hub!! If they check out, it's the answer to my prayers! I've never seen ones so large before being sold, if you google wheels uk, you should find them. Any feedback to this would be appreciated, thanks, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu350z Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I had custom 65mm spacers made for my old Stilo Abarth! Just make sure no moisture inbetween them and the hub when getting them fitted or there be trouble! Oh and maybe think about laser allignment as your really pushing the limits of the suspension going so massive! Hope it all works out!

Blacky Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Sorry have I missed something, are you going wide arch? Why would anyone need 60mm spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Jon, Best to get the correct wheels mate with the correct offset to avoid large spacers. I will reply to your pm shortly with some pictures Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I didn't have the greatest of experiences dealing with Wheels UK in Coventry as they were unable to source any tyres for the wheels I ordered off them. However, I can vouch for them as being an honest company as they didn't take any money from my account at any stage and accepted my reasons for cancelling the order.

rtbiscuit Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 don't forget to copper grease between hub and spacer to stop cross metal welding when fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon beer Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks for all the replies guys, it makes interesting reading, it has all been taken into my tiny brain, where it will be re assessed in the cold light of day! Any more experiences regarding the Coventry UK Wheels crew would be appreciated, the Jury is out at the moment!! Thanks, Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWTech Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 60mm spacers, what kind of arches are you using? wheels must have poor offset, as said, getting wheels with manly offsets to pursue a wide arch look is the way ahead, even then if you needed spacers you would only need smaller ones, 60mm is a big spacer, and wont look that nice either, not to mention to weight added to each corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon beer Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hiya, maybe i should clarify a little. Wheels UK go UPTO 60mm, i dont think i would use anything near to that, maybe 35-40mm tops for me. I completely agree on buying wheels that have an offset nearer to 25mm front and rear, but so far, these have been VERY expensive options. i have a lot more digging around to do, any more ideas from you's guys, as always, is greatly appreciated, Thanks, a true Z newbie!

RisingPower Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Quite a few rotas come in 0 offsets let alone 25? Think even varrstoens do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon beer Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks rising power, i will look into both of your suggestions, you never know, i may find something i like that i can afford! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 using spacers like that means one of 2 things in my opinion. Either wide arches or using wheels off something like an Aston Martin as they have 5x114.3 but run very high offsets. even so 40mm should be enough to bring it into Nissan territory. I really wanted to fit Vantage V8 wheels to mine for a while lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
