Hey guys,

I need a 8-10mm spacer on the rear of my car to space out the ET9 Watanabes. Obviously then theres only about 3 turns of each nut until its tight so I really need extended wheel studs. A 5mm spacer works but the inside of the wheel is then only around 2-3mm from the coilover.

My question is do 350Z ones fit? These seem readily available in the UK whereas all the 260Z ones are US based.

Also on a side note I've fitted 25mm bolt on spacers up front for the ET25 wheels. These aren't hubcentric as the bore on the wheels is very different to the car. I read the Z is lugcentric at least on the rear so are these going to cause any issue? The cars not on the road as yet

I think the S30 studs are m12x1.25 with a big shoulder where it goes through the hub, whereas the more popular ones are m12x1.5.
That's obvs not a prob if you swap nuts as well., but I think you have to check the shoulder diameter, there's another thread around here somewhere with the details....
I've got big spacers front and rear on mine that are lugcentric and it's not a problem.
 
Thank you so much guys!

Gonna try and install them on without removing the rear hub........ Wish me luck!
