Wheel spacers

[jsaintiche]

Has anyone installed 7mm or bigger wheel spacers on the coupe wihout using extended studs?

[SanoSuKe]

I use 10mm with the stock wheels.

Does 10mm with stock wheels make it pretty flush?

[SanoSuKe]

I wouldn't say flush but it definitely makes it look better. I dunno wtf nissan was thinking when they were deciding factory height and wheels offset. anything more than 10mm without extended studs starts to get sketchy

I am not going to lower my car, but if I got 10 mm spacers for my stock 3.5 wheels, and stock ride height, how would it look you think?? The way the stock car sits is hella awful, but I don't want to get springs or coilovers...

I tried 17x8 +30 (or +35) on stock ride height before, I don't miss those days

It will look better. Spacing out the wheels just gives it that wide flush look. 10mm is not much but it makes a difference. For Example, here's my boy's car before and after spacers.

Would it make sense to get spacers on 245/45 tires? Probably go with a lower mm spacer?

So now that it's been said that it will look better, since 10 mm is pushing the limit of the stock bolts, would it make more sense to go lower, like 8mm, even though its a small difference?? I just don't want there to be a problem down the road with my bolts and lugs, so just checking. I wish I could lower my car, but it will never happen...

[Mr.HacKeR]

hmmm.. I think my reply is not visible...

Sanos. The mustang is different, the wheel gap is nowhere near that on the AC.

OP, anything up to 8 mm wouldn't require extended studs.

** I went to a shop, they sell H&R wheel spacers, I didn't get those because they were $$. Anyway, the guy there saw that the spacers I got (10mm) came with extended studs, he said that this kind of wheel spacers is outdated and dangerous. Apparently H&R wheel spacers have the extended lugs built within them.
