2mm's def don't work on the 12+ wheels. I tried them today and while there is a relief...it is not enough by about 3mm. ARGH!!!

I ordered 25mm for the rear - altho I think its too much of a poke...but we'll see. We test fit on of the 20mm and it even seemed to poke. Not what I remember on my 2015.

I tried to get the shop to order the extended studs version (I did this before in Los Angeles) - and even tho they are mainly a GTR shop - he was not thrilled about it. I said I had done it before...and he agreed. But it takes about 4+ hours to remove and reinstall all 4 corners due to hub work. :/

WHY can't Infiniti just get the offset right!?!?!?

I just switched my 20mm to 25mm today it's a perfect fit (once I fix my front camber). I'll take some new pics this weekend.

That would be great. Did you do 25 on all 4 corners?

I'm running a full set of the Amazon 20mm spacers on my 2k11 with the sport wheels. Dropped on a set of BC coils. I love the fit and the offset. I upgraded my coilovers with some Swift springs while adding the spacers and I need to make one last adjustment to get the perfect stance that I'm looking for.
I would snap some pics, but i'm in S. Korea on business for the next two weeks. But i'll be sure to snap some pics when I get back.

btw.. I don't see no reason why those 25mm spacers won't work with stock wheels on the 2k11's.. There's def. some room there for more on mine.

I put 25mm spacers all the way around, kind of aggressive and a little protrusion but not bad at all.

Haven't put my coilovers on yet but I've been contemplating on selling my car. Don't want them on if I'm doing that.

Going to check out the possible replacement or first.

Thanks

That 25mm? I wonder if they changed something (hub, wheel offset, etc.) on newer Q's? When I test fit the 20mms they seemed to poke more than that. I have H&Rs coming Wednesday so I will test them then and post pics.

Thanks for showing me yours!

Yep 25mm now but like I said I've got some camber that needs to be addressed. If you go look at my write up when I had 20mm on Eibach it was practically flush but now on SCALE and lower with 25mm it's almost tucked more in the front from the camber.

From my 8 Infinitis - all them had spacers. If there is vibration - usually one of these:

1: wheels need to be balanced - try road force balancing
2: the spacers themselves are out of round (can happen if they are over tightened making a tiny indention in the spacer - had this happen)
3: were overtightened and the hub is slightly bent/compressed (had this happen)
4: the wheel is not 100% flush to the spacer. If its the stock 20 and a post 2013 the relief is not deep enough to handle a spacer - the studs/bolt will stick out 1-2mm and the wheel will not be flush to spacer/hub.
5: spacer is not hub centric - it has to be a 66.1/66.2 bore. So many people buy the spacers with a 73mm-something bore with the center adapter/hub ring - and those simply do not work.

mac, can you remove one Lugnut and you'll see, and with shop-ruler (mm) get a good idea by looking at what's protruding and "extrapolating out" another 2-5mm + any other parameter , off the exposed stud ? :crazy: There are those "Calculators" on the web , and sure you'll get lotsa "talk" from forums but in the final analysys nothing like in person -"Live & In Color" :cool:

I'll take a pic of my rear install...I swear they protrude more. Not in a bad way...just more.

Like I said...I wonder if they changed the hub on newer models - maybe its a bit thicker?

for such a small spacer you should not need to change anything..just make sure they are hubcentric and slap them on

I have the 25mm on in the back. Having the same issue I did with my 2015. Slight vibration. I had the wheels/tires road forced balanced twice. Still ever so slightly there.

Put 25 on front...way poke! I think they changed the hub as you guys don't have a poke like this with a 25mm up front. Removed them stat.

Image

I need to find some place in Dallas that will do the extended bolt and go back to what I had on my 2015 - 15mm up front and 20mm in the rear for a classic balanced stance front and back.

This is strange; I believe the pics but I've been searching and it looks like the 2018 has the same OEM specs listed for wheel offset. I'm trying to find part numbers for the hubs now. I can't imagine they'd be different but clearly yours poke way more than mine with the same spacer and wheel.

Park are you lowered? I would think camber will affect the poke as well. Wide, if I'm not mistaken, ran 25mm up front after lowering the car. At stock height that big a spacer would certainly poke out.

I know this is an old thread. Does anyone have pics of what the inside back side of the 2011-2012 sport wheels look like. I have a 2013 and my wheels have a divet but it's not enough for 20mm to clear.

I'd like to see the rears of the wheels of sport 20's on various years...so we can figure out when the relief changed. And why some can run under 25mm spacers and others cant.

Even in this thread there are variations. On my 2015 and 2018 I can only run a 25mm (nothing smaller) - if it is smaller the main stud hits the wheel to where it won't sit flush with the hub.

I'll check mine next time the wheels are off. I have 2 sets of the sport 20s - a 2011 set and another I'm not certain of the original model year. Bought off eBay.
