I'm specifically looking for hub-centric spacers. A little different from your regular spacers. I can't find them for less that $200 for all four so far.

WAAAIITTT.. James, please give me a chance to help you out... $200.00 did they at least include a good tube of lube for that raping ?? I'm getting ready to order our set (for the shop) of hub centering rings. They should not be more than $15 (for metal ones) and about $5-7 dollars for plastic (each). Unless the ones you were looking at were made of some exotic metal...that is way too much.. send me the info (brand) on your rims... you're still running stock s-14 hubs (5 lug or 4 lug) right?? worst case would be to get a measurement of the ID (inside diameter) of the hub hole on the rim. Were these stock 350Z rims? Sorry can't remember all the details when you got them. Hopefully I can help ya out....

Is that $15 for the set of four? My car is an SE with the stock 5 lug, and the wheels are AZA and they were originally ordered for Brandon's 350Z. I don't know if he needed hubcentric spacers or not. The rims are the ones I pictured above

Don't worry, I'm not the kind of guy who pays full price for stuff. The few times I have I've felt violated.

The inner diameter on those wheels should be 73mm. I'd have to go look again.

Hey Maxima,Here is a website that you can order hub centering rings from. I would get the aluminum ones if they are available (more durable and hold up to heat transfer better - plastic ones tend to get brittle and crack after they got hot a few times). http://www.1010tires.com/hubrings.asp

What do I do if I want to space the wheels out a little? Do I use hubcentric spacers AND regular spacers or do I need some sort of combination? Also, what is the measurement on the hub of a 240? (inside diameter). Brandon said the outer is 73 I believe...

Well i should be hearing from the guy today or something about picking them up tomorrow after i meet up with Gregg. Which we are still on for right? I might end up getting a free pair of S13 seats in the deal. Then i can reupholster the seats in the future or sometime soon.

Also found out why my car is getting about 5mpg. In the hatch where the Fuel Filter goes into the Gas Tank, the cover (can someone tell me what the name is) is leaking ALLLLLL over the place and has a crack in it. I might end up taking that off of my friends parts car on sunday, so i got a full weekend ahead of me.

LEEEEEAKKKK!!!!

don't forget the gasket for that cover as well. I believe it is a dealer only item. You might find a good import parts store, but I had no luck....so the dealer raped me for the part. Necessary part to keep system sealed and at proper pressure. That cover looks nasty.... hope the inside of the tank looks better than that.....while you have it out you should replace the fuel pump filter sock... AutoZone does carry that for about $10 and theirs is larger than the one most have... just a thought

personally I think the s13 to s15 conversion just doesn't flow right. The body lines of the s15 front end just doesn't flow well with the s13 rear end.... of course I've only seen it on a convertible.. I do like the Origin Kits.. and I like the widebody kit for the s13 from chargespeed.. I looked at that one myself... what color are you looking at for the finished product....

Here is a pic of the s13 to s15 verthttp://gointopless240.zoints.c...57402
