Harryjax Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 What spacer combo front & rear do most go for on the 370z with the standard 19'' wheels. Quote
ioneabee Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 25mm all round http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/75841-fitting-25mm-spacers-idiots-guide/ 2 Quote
choptop Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Are you thinking of changing your set up again Dave? Quote
Harryjax Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Spacers for show, OEM for a Pro . Definitely for show. The 25mm on the rear has made a massive difference to the look. Quote
Harryjax Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Are you thinking of changing your set up again Dave? Always twerking wth a little tweaking. You know me I'm so money supermarket. . Quote
Harryjax Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 I went 25mm front 20mm rear What's the reason for having wider spacers on the front to the rear? Is there any benifit in handling? Quote
tatooandy67 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I went 25mm front 20mm rear What's the reason for having wider spacers on the front to the rear? Is there any benifit in handling? When I was looking at getting spacers and springs I went to see a zed belonging to a member from here and that's the set up he had and to me it looked just right with the 25/20 combination, can't really compare the handling to before the springs and spacers were fitted as I'd only had it for a few weeks (not many miles) before they were fitted but since fitting the handling feels great to me when I get chance to hit the loud pedal, on the twisty country lane she feels planted 1 Quote
Ebized Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 There is a well known issue with 20mm spacers on the front, if keeping the OEM studs that because of their length do not not allow the OEM front wheels to seal squarly on the spacer. To be brutally frank I found little difference in the 'feel' with or without spacers and the 370 handled fine around Knockhill with 25mm all round. But would agree they do more for the stance rather than the handling. 1 Quote
nissanman312 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 only problem ive found with them on the back is gravel rashhhh Quote
gstraw Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 25mm all around. At least if you keep it square any adverse effects shouldn't be an issue since you've increased the track on both front and back by same amount. I've got 25mm all around and it looks great. I went for eibach. Great quality. Last spacers I used were made from a machine shop and the loctite wasn't great 1 Quote
Keyser Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Ref Colin above - I could be wrong I thought it was 15mm that caused the issue on the front and 20mm was OK I do know you can get an issue on standard 370 wheels though which will be what he is referring to I can't be sure anymore though as I have different wheels on now. It does make a difference to the look - I just lowered mine and had Jez at Horsham do a 4 wheel alignment - I was way out - now he has set it up though she drives like a dream again. I notice no change in the handling with or without the spacers though. @ Harryjax - as I said at the meet I have a set of 20mm on the wall in the Zed Shed if you want to try them and you can borrow a 25mm of mine as well if you just want to see what it looks like. You know where I am 2 Quote
Jonnymonno Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 25mm front and rear on mine but thinking of dropping to 20mm on the front as it looks a bit Carlos Fandango. 1 Quote
