I really like the factory rims. Its just a pity their offset aint enough to fill the guard.

Anyone ever done this? is it feasible? where to get the spacers?

No; most people replace the rims, yes, try just jap. Spacers are not my favourites tho'

I have seen an M35 with stock rims spaced out and it looks way better. But like Dale, Im not so confident about them.

You need some pretty big spacers for those skinny rims, so it will be bolt on spacers with studs to get them out enough.

I know you like them, but you really should look at some wheels with proper widths / offsets. They don't have to be as expensive as you might think.

I think spacers are a temp solution. That being said, I bet there are heaps of SAU people who run them for ages, and haven't had a problem. I think you want "hub centric"? is that right? The otherones are cheap and nasty and will make your wheels fall off your car... promise. :(

IMO these are the best there is, i ran 15mm to widen the front track on the stag before i got stronger offset wheels.

Hub centric rings center the wheel properly and prevent speed wobble. :(

i guess its not ideal.. though i like to keep the car as close to original as possible. i spose best option is to keep an eye out for some ARX 18"s.

Though they wont be cheap. And i hate forking out for 18" rubber. :)

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
