NWZ Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 For those that have 20mm upfront & 25mm at the rear have you noticed any handling issues. I'm just worried that the rears are protruding out slightly more and concerned that the track will be upset? Did you have to get the car realigned afterwards?

MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 From original fitment the rears wheels/tyres are already wider, 245 on the rear and 225 on the front… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Will make the track more like the 370z, that has more stagger than the 350z. So cant see it being a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Apparently there was talk that more than 10 mm total track difference between the front and rear would upset the TC, but Ive never seen any real evidence of this. When I was talking to Phil at ESR about track, he advised that he had 50mm spacers on the rear of their Z, with 20 or 25mm on the front (I forget the exact front with now) and the car hadnt missed a beat.

Digsy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 No problems for me with a 15/25 combo. Did have the alignment done after fitting - but that was at DT so probably didn't improve matters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundus Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If you are fitting 20 to 25 spacers on the rear do you need to fit spacers to the front too? Whats the ideal spacer set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 20/20 if lowered like you but thats with standard rims. What are you wanting to achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 20/20 if lowered like you but thats with standard rims. What are you wanting to achieve? Nothing specific in mind - was just interested to see what the best set up would be. Ive heard rumours that the handling will improve since you are widening the stance of the car but not sure how true this is. Thanks CS - look forward to chatting to you about a few things tomorrow mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running 40mm rear, 20mm front, no probs for me and ESR fitted them and Phil assured me no problems and there has been none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
