Does anyone make good quality hub centric wheel spacers for the NX? I'd like to get some 10-15mm ones for my Wife's NX to just widen the stance a bit.

 

I got 8prince 15mm spacers (front) and 11mm Project Kics (rear) for my RC F. Both top quality brands made in Japan. Either would work for the NX as well since it's the same bore and and bolt pattern.

 

Do you replace the OEM studs for the ones included in the kit?

 

Nope, straight bolt-on. OEM studs go into the holes and get bolted on by the nuts included with the spacers.

See pic below or for more pics, see my RC F build: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...ml#post9468927

 

Where do the factory studs end up? Would they not stick out past the face of the spacer? I have 10 and 15mm spacers on my Audi, but they came with new longer studs, and are the type that thread into the hub. I'm a bit confused.

 

So I took some measurements and if you want spacers on the NX, you're good with 15mm (or wider) from a fitment standpoint.

So how it works...

- The OEM studs that protrude from the spacers fit into the pockets of the NX' wheels. (See pic below)




- The depth of the pocket is 12 mm. (Pic below)




- The OEM stud protrudes 25 mm from the face of the rotor (pic below shown for my past IS - doublecheck and measure the NX's but should be the same like the RC F if memory serves me)





- So basic math dictates that a 15mm spacer will allow proper clearance of the OEM wheels over the OEM studs (25mm - 15mm = 10mm OEM stud protrusion which will fit into the 12mm pocket in the OEM wheel)

- Wheels bolt onto the spacer's studs while OEM studs protrude into the wheels pockets.

- If you want an 10-11mm bolt-on spacer, you will need to grind off the OEM bolts about 2-3mm for clearance on the OEM wheels.

Hope this makes more sense.

 

The only brands we would recommend are Project Kics and H&R.. Very well known and reliable in my experience!

Does H&R make them for the NX?

 

Yes, its by bolt patterns.

You think there is enough thread on the stock studs to do 15/20mm H&R spacers?

 

They come with extended studs.

Ahh, handy. Suppose I can just press the old ones out fairly easy?

 

I had 15 mm front and 30mm rear from b2designs.. one of our vendors. Fitment is amazing and they are bolt in

 

I always have a shop do it .

Is there a distributor in Ontario? I'm looking for spacers for the 3is
