leet8845 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The alloys I like need spacers (25mm front) (20mm rears). Will it need lowering to look right? I would like to use my car on a track day now and again, are decent spacers safe to use? Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The alloys I like need spacers (25mm front) (20mm rears). Will it need lowering to look right? Not necessarily ... the outside diameter of the tyre will remain the same so if you're happy with the stance now then you've no need to lower the car I would like to use my car on a track day now and again, are decent spacers safe to use? Yes but the handling will be affected Thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 With 19" wheels lowering completes the look, I'd be inclined to remove the spacers for track work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Can you not get the alloys you want with an offset that means you don't need the spacers at all? I have 19" Rotas supplied by CS (Cougar Store) above which are great imo and negate the need for any spacers at all. Maybe ask Mitz a bit more to see if he can help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leet8845 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks. I've found some Rotas I like so no need for spacers. I'm just concerned about needing to lower the car, anyone got pictures of 19s on a non lowered Z? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leet8845 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks those look nice. If possible, could you give me a price for Rota torque drifts with a good brand of tyres please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks. I've found some Rotas I like so no need for spacers. Music to my ears, much easier to buy wheels that fit in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks. I've found some Rotas I like so no need for spacers. Music to my ears, much easier to buy wheels that fit in the first place Where is the fun in that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 19 inch Rota GTRs from Mitz at the Cougastore, lowered, no spacers.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Give Rare Rims a shout, they'll suggest some 19's with the correct offset that won't need spacers. Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I run 19's on my 350z and it looked fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby D Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My JDM is lower and running 19s and looks awesome! I just don't look so good going over speed bumps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks. I've found some Rotas I like so no need for spacers. I'm just concerned about needing to lower the car, anyone got pictures of 19s on a non lowered Z? That's good news ~ I have a non lowered Zed and it's riding on 19" Rota's. Take a look here; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/84005-new-alloys-tyres-thanks-cougar-store/ Thanks those look nice. If possible, could you give me a price for Rota torque drifts with a good brand of tyres please? Best off sending Mitz at The Cougar Store a PM by hovering your pointer cursor over his user name ~ you will get a quicker response that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My JDM is lower and running 19s and looks awesome! I just don't look so good going over speed bumps! ^^^ speed bumps-the worst thing ever invented ever I'm running slightly lower than standard (30mm) and I definitely don't look good going over them pulling faces and holding up traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leet8845 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yeah, i'm not planning on lowering it, the speed bumps are bad enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leet8845 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Actually after looking at the non lowered picture, I would need it lowered, especially at the back. How much is it to lower it? I may just stick with my rays and get them reconned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If you lower on Tein S Spring which is what most do about £170 for the Springs plus fitting. Mitz will sort you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby D Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'v got RSR suspension which I can adjust but it just doesn't look the same any higher! Rather it looked mint and avoid the speed bumps than have it any higher! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leet8845 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I can't avoid speed bumps. My road is full of them! Seems like there are too many cons to having 19s versus one pro of it looking better. I'll have to stick with Rays but I guess that will easier to accept when driving down a bumpy road with speed bumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just stick with my rays and get them reconned Actually, after looking at the picture you decided it looked much better lowered and therefore now you want that too It'll look no worse than 18's as the tyre circumference is the same and in fact lowered on 18's will also look better than it does now.

KyleR Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 19's, not lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leet8845 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Actually, I never noticed the back was loads higher than the front with my 18s on, same circumference or not. It don't look like that picture, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
