Wheel Spacer Question

[EnjoiNismo]

I have rims that do not clear my Z brakes.I need a 15mm spacer to clear them.

My question is can I use hub centric wheel spacer adapter?Example picture of spacer:Here are the picture of the rims:



Thanks.

I love how concisely you worded your post to ward off any flamers...lol

I think you've got the right idea. The issue with bolt-on spacer thimmer than 30mm is that your orginal bolts will purtrude through the spacer and there need to be holes on the backside of your wheel for your original bolts to fit into, otherwise the wheel won't fit flush on the spacer so you can bolt it down.

It looks like your wheels have these spacers for your old bolts to slide into. But I can't say for certain if they'll fit properly. but I'd odds are that they will.

But a vaguely remember one company offering shorter studs packaged with their bolt on spacers to replace your old studs and sit flush with the face of the spacer... I can't remember who it was though... I think H&R, maybe...

Your car is dead sexy, BTW...

You could try a 15mm spacer that isn't a bolt on. Also if you buy ichiba get some nismo studs(or ARP?) to go with it, their studs are garbage. After one install of the wheels, when I put them back on it wouldn't torque, just spun. The knurls were stripped.

I agree, sexy car!

^^^ Oh yeah... that's right! The safety limit of a slip-on spacer on stock studs is about 5-7mm. But if you need extended studs with about 15mm more, then you could just slap the 15mm spacer on and keep it moving... I kinda forgot about that.

But yes, Nismo and ARP are the yes I've heard the best reviews about too. Ichiba's studs are crap.
