Jobo Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Has anyone used wheel spacers on the standard wheels to make them fill the arches a bit better, maybe around 10-15mm each side?? Was just thinking about it and thought it might be a worthwhile styling mod, rather than spend silly amounts on a set of wheels?? Whats everyones thoughts?

bigphil Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 We have sold quite a few sets of the Eibach spacers for the Z in various sizes with no reports of any concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 it widens the wheel track therefore putting extra strain on the wheel bearings ....maybe...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yeah, lots of urban myths about them but I honestly don't know of anyone who's actually had a problem...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobo Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Might be worth a purchase, not too expensive from what ive seen. I think 15mm each side woud be about the max if thinking about lowering the car, although would 10mm be a safer option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
