Looking to put some spacers on my 370Z, chiefly for visual reasons as the arches are fairly massive and the wheels just look a tiny bit lost! Doesn’t need anything crazy, only 15mm or so. I also don’t want to do something that will impact the suspension behaviour or anything like that

Any guidance/experience folk have with proper hub-centric spacers for a 370Z (or any car really, if there’s a particular brand people really rate for spacers) would be massively appreciated

Any spacer will affect the suspension and steering because it will move the contact centre of the tyre outwards. Having said that, plenty of people fit them and don’t notice or bother to adjust to compensate, and/or the benefits of the wider track outweighs any downsides.

IMHO you’re doing the right thing going for hub-centric. I can’t help beyond that really. You can always remove them if they mess things up.

These bad boys would negate need for spacers and fill the arches beautifully. My son had them on his 370.

I had Eibach on my 370z , cant recall the sizes coupled with the lowering springs and roll bars

My opinion is always buy decent spacers, dont skimp the Eibachs and H&R are TUV rated and pretty decent

Same car , change of plate
