Increasing Offset Of Front Wheels

[boosted_andy]

Hey guys,

Just got some 370Z rims on my R33.

The rears have an insane offset - and look tops!

But the fronts are too far in for my liking. I had 8mm spacers hanging around, and put them on, but couldnt tighten the nuts up as it was crossthreading (not enough thread on the hub to screw them up properly). The 8mm probably wasnt enough anyway.

So im wondering in this situation what is my best bet? I want to use hub spacers, but ive heard so many bad stories about them. Whats the best way about this?!

ive got 25mm hub-centric spacers on the rears of my 33 for almost 2 months now, including an AHG track session.

so i wouldnt really worry about them snapping off mid corner or anything.

i run 10mm spacers with mine but i also put in longer wheel studs so it is safer

Had this problem before, as above solved it by longer wheel studs and slip on spacers. Was for track only though.

looked into H&R spacers!!

Being on the front just try and get hubcentric one's to avoid wheel wobble.

Slip on's are fine with longer wheel studs, bolt on's just get good quality one's.
