Guest WINKJ2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 All, looking to add some spacers to my '08 313Z, I have 5 spoke 18" rotas on the front and back. Would you advise 20mm or 15mm spacers? (also going to get some coilovers or new springs to lower) James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 What are the offsets on your rotas? That will tell you how wide you can go.... And most people tend to go with the lowering springs as they seem to be quite a good setup, plus a lot cheaper than coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WINKJ2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Where abouts do I need to look to find out the wheel offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 If it is on the wheel it is usually imprinted on the inside of the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WINKJ2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 If it is on the wheel it is usually imprinted on the inside of the wheel ok will try and track it down... thinking of a 25m springs.... James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Yeh, 25-30 seems to popular as it is not too low and doesnt affect handling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Have a look here http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=70 If these aren't the ones then go through all the wheels, offsets are in there Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 nice - any reccomendation for springs? The einbach ones seem to popular! eibachs are on the limit and you will wear the inside of tyres with them. Eibachs when checked with some cars put the geometry well out, just be careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Youve just detailed all of the sizes of Rota there are my friend, you probably only have one of them If you want the wheels to sit just inside the arches, you need a spacer that is similar sized - for instance, if your current gap is 25mm then a 20mm spacer will probably do what you are looking for We cant help unless we know what width and offset your current rims are though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 haha damn! ok - i will have to get the wheels off when I get home in a week or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 haha damn! ok - i will have to get the wheels off when I get home in a week or so! or you could take a few picures of how the wheel looks against the arch so we can see how much it sits inside ect...

WINKJ Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Guys - offset for the front is 25 and the back is 20. As said I have 18" rotas fitted and will be adding on the tein springs in the near future.... Can someone please advisenonnspacer recommendations? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Im running 20mm spacers on a offset of E35, so that means an overall offset of 5. This is about as much as I can go, as it is rubbing a little, and I will need to get the arches rolled. Theres no chance of me even lowering it. So I would say a offset of 10/15 should be fine, so you could properly run 10mm rear and 15 front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
