what tires size are you running on them? you could probably run streteched on the front and solve the rubbing.. example.. 235 on a 9.5 or so.

I don't think those spacers will do that much of a difference...14mm equals a half of an inch...5mm is not even a quarter

Yea I know it's not really gona make a significant difference... but I think the rear could be pushed out just a hair. 25.4mm = 1 inch, so 5mm is about .2". I'll snap some pics after the mini spacer is installed .

Epik- Yea, i'm almost 100% certain these wheels will clear the LS400 brake kit. I guess I'll find out for sure tonight, eh? I know these were installed on a 350Z that had a 13"+ brake kit with monstrous calipers... and there's still a lot of room between the wheel and the brakes right now. I dont think a spacer up front would be a good idea, +29 is pretty aggresive with stock fenders- and I wasnt really able to roll the front too much. Btw, no problem bro, it was only a slight thread jack

Do you think the 5mm spacer in the rear will cause any rubbing issues? I wanted something without needing to lengthen the OEM studs... which is why I'm getting such a small spacer. Thanks guys,

Allen

I run the 3mm spacers in the rear SC400 on my 350Z winter wheels. The 5mm might be pushing it but I'm sure someone else will chime in.

TurboTeg- I want a slightly more aggressive look.. we'll see how they look tommorrow. I'll post pics in a couple days, cuz I'll be installing the spacers tommorrow. Not sure if i'm gona keep them yet, but it's worth a shot

TRD_Power- thanks, I melted them open and modified them myself... kind of a ballsy move, but it turned out beautiful

9.5 +29 (with spacer) with a 275, should be okay.

I had 10.5 +43 with a 275 with rolled and no rubing issues what so ever but I only had a 1" drop (Eibach Pro Kit)
