so i finally got some coils for my 95 se n im puttin the se oem 5 spoke rims back on there until i get tires for my 18..witch are +20 offset, i know those dont rub the coil but the factory rims do.. i have searched n cant get a clear answer on this.. i keep reading that the 60mm are to long n the 50mm u can only run a 5mm or so spacer on there but is that enough to clear the coil n z32 brakes..

i know i can get the 60mm n run open lugs on there but wont that look goofy with the rest of the stud stickin out?...

so what studs are yall running with the factory rims n what size spacer?...... which would be better....

if you get a 60 with an adequate spacer... say... oh ionno, more than 5mm, maybe 10mm maybe 25mm, etc. don't you think it'll work without having to use open lugs?

use the search button... its th- f*** it, just use common sense.

when i first got my Z brakes, I had also ordered 7mm spacers. They fit on the stock studs, but was very safe at all because they barely screwed on. I ended up just buying hub adapters.

When I bought my 95 SE, It still had the stock studs and stock wheels but it had a 10mm spacer in the front to clear the coilovers. With the new wheels I have I had to increase the spacer to 15mm in the front and 10 in the rear. I bought Ichiba spacers and studs for the front and rear since the stock studs were not long enough. And I'm using close end lug nuts. Hope this helps.

I have kts coilovers with z32 brakes and wheels. I have to buy spacers to clear the coilovers so i bought some 15 mm ichiba spacer with studs like nissan_driver. I can't use universal 5 lug wheels since i bought ichicba's 5 lug conversion because the hub studs are long and hits the holes for the wheels.

if you do trim i would say put a tap or dy or whatever on the bolt befor you trim just in case some threds mess up then you would just unscrew it and they should be fine.

i have a feeling i didnt spell anything right just now lol

man i ended up buying the 15mm Ichiba spacers n studs, i dint really wanted to put adaptors on there b/c my 18s have a +20 offset al'around so i probably buy some 10mm for the back.. but that wont happen until afther i get it painted... my rims spec are 18x8.5 on front n 18x9.5 on rear so i think they be good...

thanks.
