streeteg Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Been looking around for a while and searching for the best place to get a 25mm spacer for the front of my Z and it is getting very confusing....Ive come up with companies who supply 4x114.3 spacers, that are hubcentric, lugcentric, and have certain bores etc. I know what everything means now I am just looking for someone to say "Hey, this is what everyone uses for a spacer" and then be done with it. I know a popular option is the 4x100 adapters but I am trying to stay 4x114.3 lug to go with a wider option from a 240sx...so with all that said.... I need a 25mm spacer for the front of my Z....what brands are reccomended and how can I get my hands on em --and as for the spacers are crap arguement.--- these spacers are going to be for a street car that doesnt see much abuse so the horror stories from spacer's response from track wear need not apply here lol. Thanks in advance guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 There was a string a short time ago dealing with putting the Mustang (Cobra) wheels on a Z. The vendor listed had a lot of spacers and adapters to work with. Here is the link: http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Adapter_4_Lug_4_5_To_4_Lug_4_5_p/4450-4450.htm I'd recommend a search of "wheel spacers". It will turn up this string: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=122507&highlight=wheel+spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeteg Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Anybody have a specific brand or vendor that I can contact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudeboy Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Try Skulte.com. They make adapters and spacers for high horse f-bodies and do custom sizes for different fitments.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 You need a lug centric spacer. Also, with 25mm you'll need longer wheel studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les71z Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 How did you go with the skulte adapters? I recently bought a custom set of adapters from them and I am very happy with the product and service. I have a new set of 17 x 7 ROH wheels, that I bought for my WRX. But I sold the WRX unexpectedly before I used them. So I got Skulte to make a set of billet adapters to go from 1971 240Z hubs (4 x 114.3) to 5 x 100 with 45p offset. The adapters are a two part item and 2 inchs thick. Andris was very helpful and emailed several times to make sure that I measured everything correctly and that everything would fit. They turned up in Australia in about 2 weeks from ordering them and they fit perfectly. Andris assures me that his adapters are very strong. I recomend them to anyone thinking of wheel adapters. Here is what my new wheels look like on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streeteg Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I bought my spacers off Ebay. TC Sportlines. Had the fronts machined out to fit over the hub in and the rears bolted on the drum no problem. Its a street car that really doesnt get any hardcore track usage so I am not worried about the heat/pressure reliability thing. Cost me 150 bucks front and rear 2" in the back 1.5inch front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I got tired of trying to source out wheel spacers for my 17"s so I just turned my own out of 6061 and went with 3" Moroso lugs. Worked out beautifully without an issue! I located a 6" dia. x 18" long piece of 6061 round stock at a surplus store for $80.00. My labor and $80.00.....not a bad price for a set of wheel spacer.

getZ Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Baer brakes makes a decent set of wheel spacers, but in SAE sizes, 1" or 3/4". I got a set of 3/4" from ebay for about 65 bucks and a set of 1" directly from Baer for 72 bucks. My preference is to pick it up directly from Baer even though it's a few more bucks. You get some eye candy there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
