370Z Rear Spacers fitted

[Paul_S]

I finally got round to trying the spacers on the rear of my car today.

Here are a few before & after pics...

Before I did anything I put some tape around the locking wheel nut key to protect the alloys:

It's so difficult so show the difference in a photo but it's so marked in person. Here are my attempts (I put the camera against the wheel arch so in an attempt to get the same shot before and after):

Before / After:

Some more 'after' shots:

I've never fitted spacers before and I'm amazed how much difference 15mm can make! The rear of the car looks so much better now.

Just the fronts to sort out!

Paul, are the ones you have for sale these and if so did you have second thoughts?

 

[Paul_S]

They are the same. I bought 2 sets second hand (with 300 miles on them) off a mate who took them off his 350Z. They fit the back of the 370Z but because the 19" wheels on the front are so 'shallow' at the hub then the spacers will not fit!

Edit: so I have 1 set of these on the back, am selling the other set, and have ordered an alternative 15mm spacer for the front.

Are the wheel studs long enough to cope with 15mm ??

No they won't be long enough so I'm buying the complete kit which includes the spacer and long studs.

I've just taken delivery of a set of spacers for the front now. I'll show you pics when they are fitted (hopefully this weekend).

I've got a set of spacers for the rear (will also fit front and rear of a 350Z) in the For Sale section

Bump! I still have a set of 15mm spacers for sale

Do they fit any other cars (E90 BMW) ??

I just checked but it seems the BMW has a different bolt stud pattern so they wont fit.

These are for a PCD of 114.3 / 5 (Bolt/Stud Pattern) and a Centre Bore of 66.

Sorry
