Any Kouki's/Zenki's running spacers with stock wheels?

[bm3r]

Looking for pics of Kouki's/Zenki's running spacers with stock wheels. Also with or without suspension. Please list mods.

TIA-JR

Don't even bother. They don't look that bad without spacers.

This is posted in the wrong section anyways.

I just wanted to push the wheels out a little to be more flush

meh, don't bother...spend the money elsewhere. lol

I know they're not technically stock but I'm running spacers up front on my z32 rims just so they clear the struts.

I would just save my money...I mean you're going to need like 30mm spacers all around.

It won't make too big of a difference but spacers are cheap anyway. You can probably find a used set of 30mm for around $30-$60, if you don't like the way it looks after, sell them.

Here's a picture of mine. I'm running 25mm spacers with the stock rims. Sorry I don't have a pic with a better angle but the front ones are almost flush and the rear ones sit in about a 1/2" or so. It looks a lot better IMO. The only downside is it makes you more aware of how skinny the stock tires are when you see it from behind.

Looks pretty good, but I am not a fan of spacers at all. Save up for wheels that fit the way you want.

that looks really good. are you running stock suspension?

The reason why I want spacers is because I just bought brand new tires. I probrably wont get new wheels anytime soon. If I do, I will have to pay for wheels, tires, suspension, etc which is $$$$$ and im not ready to do that.

I just spent $400 shipped for an oem front lip and over $350 for the new tires!!!!!

[OutToWinPAHC]

350 for tires? Did you go with something uber cheap?

this is the exact setup I want! please post more pics of any angles you have. I was searching on the install, but found that you have to do this (is that what you did?):zerothread?id=239174

I had the same setup on my 04 M3 with 19" BBS LM's, Brembos, etc...

[superficialfilter]

Yeah I had to do all that. Its not too bad. I went ahead and replaced the upper strut mounts, the bump stops, the strut bushings in the rear and all the boots while I was at it. I'll try and post some better angled pictures tomorrow.

this is exactly what im going to do. I might even replace all the control arms. Im all about a comfortable ride. I dont care how low it looks etc. Pics would be great

[diggles240]

wheels that fit > spacers

thats it.

was there any other suspension components or was that it to replace?

[bm3r]

any new pics yet?

[300sx]

I have 5mm spacers on mine to clear coilovers..just the fronts though..I have z33 wheels on mine (35th anniversary ones)

[superficialfilter]

Sorry it took so long to get the pictures up...work, school...you know how it is. Anyway, here you go. Hope these help. FYI I've got 225/50/16 tires instead of the stock 205/55/16.

To answer your question- I just figured it would be a good idea to replace everything while I had it apart.

[StricNyne]

i think oem rims are fugly but spacers help them out a bit
