glrnet Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Seemed to handle ok from where I was looking Didn't seem to do so well on Sunday though, must have been out of respect for Mrs Ebized Guns has just gone wider - well just an extra 3mm each side at the rear - not sure I could get away with any more Now 23mm all round, using the 370 OEM 19" GT wheels We will see how it handles in Wales this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busa1300 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Them Ripspeed spacers dont look like they are hubcentric so i would be worry about using them especially when using 20mm spacers as well. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Are you still running this set up? Have you had any issues with regards geometry set up, tyre wear and/or handling characteristics? Looking to do this or similar soon so is there any pitfalls that you would avoid if doing it again? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yep, still using the spacers and can't say there is any real difference in feel with or without them in normal road use. There might be a a little more cornering grip, but I'm aware there is a slightly more sudden breakaway than without them as ZEDS are otherwise very progresive in the oversteering department. Tramlining is the same, with or without - hopefully will get that dialed out with some different tyres and maybe a tweak on the geometry sometime soon. Added the spacers mainly for looks and they do have the effect of the tyres seemingly filling the arches more so hence I don't get so many "needs lowering and spacers" comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Are you seeing most stone chips with them Colin? Thats my biggest worry due to the milage I do. Had to order a chip kit from paints4u a few days ago as notice my first chip on my bonnet Looks to be a good colour match in the pot, and they were spot on with the 350z so hopefully will be able to touch it in easily.

Ebized Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Difficult to say whether the spacers are increasing stone chips down the side but the 'mud guards' are hopefully helping to cut down that problem. The sills of the 370 are certainly more prone to chips than the 350, but having said that the front of the car has remained relatively chip free. Maybe that's because I tend to lead more on ZED drives these days You have just remined me about ordering some paint - the touch-up 'pen' I got from the States (NISSAN US own offering) is not very good - have just used it to stop the chips I have picked up from spreading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Paints4u are great. Mine wasnt listed on the site, but left them the paint code yesterday and got the paint today! I agree WRT the chips on the front, I am amazed I only have one so far in over 6k miles driving on the M4 in all conditions. Either the paint or the profile of the car is better at repelling the chips than the 350z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
