    You'd need at least 25mm to space them out and even then they wouldn't be flush. For the price of 25mm spacers you're better off going for some Z32 UK wheels which are wider and have better offsets. And to push them out a litle more get some cheapy 5mm spacers off driftworks or somewhere else.

    IMO

    If you go with bolt on spacers which you will have to, you'll have to go at least 30mm to clear the standard studs.

    25 clears studs. But damn expensive spacers.

    You can have my 4 for £160

    cheers for the pics mate,

    that doesent look too bad! and only 15mm!

    some bolt on hubcentric jobbies at 25 or 35mm should work a treat then!.

    ill have a nosey at some z32 wheels aswell,see what they look like.

    std rims = spacers still look weak due to their 205 tyres

    Space them out and they look like pram wheels

    skinny wheels high offsets = uber fail

    Skinny wheels with crap offsets spaced out = fail

    wide rims decent offsets and proper tyres = result

    If the budget is tight try the R32 GTR rims or UK spec 300ZX rims

    I have 25mm spacers all round with std rims. It looks alot better with than without IMO. New wheel would obviosly look better but I cant afford a new set of rims.

    Why did nissan feel the need to put the wheels in the middle of the car in the first place
    I reckon they would have had 10% more sales with just this problem addressed

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    ah well, thats OK then

    Otherwise you'd have spent £200 on spacers

    Get the R32s anyhow, polish them up and space them out

    i´m running stock rims with 25mm on every corner atm as the tüv disapproved et5 all around with my 18"rims as the approval that is available for the spacers only goes down to et10...
