When selecting the best Nissan 350Z wheel spacers, several factors come into play: flush fitment sizes, bolt pattern (PCD), center bore (CB), offsets, and spacer material selection. The thickness options range from 15mm to 50mm 350Z wheel spacers. For an OEM setup, front 20mm and rear 25mm wheel spacers are the best combination to achieve a perfect flush stance. However, the best sizes depend on your personal preference and tire clearance.
Factory 2002-2008 Nissan 350Z wheel spacer sizing:
Stock Rim Size: 7.5Jx17 to 10Jx19
OEM wheel offset: +30 to +33 Offset
Reference flush wheel spacer size: front 20mm / rear 25mm
Bolt pattern (PCD): 5×114.3mm
Center bore (CB): 66.1mm
Lug bolt spec: M12x1.25mm
High-quality aluminum alloy 350Z wheel spacers provide an optimal balance of strength and weight. Due to the stress cycle and process of deformation, the forged wheel spacers become hard and strong. This provides an even internal structure, making it resistant to bending and breaking. That is why they are more frequently used on performance cars. Actually, the forged aluminum spacers are considered to be the safest 350Z wheel spacers.
What is the Torque Spec of 350Z Wheel Spacers?
The manufacturer REFERENCE torque spec of a 350Z wheel spacer is 113 Nm or 83.3 Ft-lb. Please note that different wheels or applications may require different torque values. It is strongly recommended to ask a tire expert before operating. Tightening the 350Z wheel spacers in a star-shaped pattern can keep everything operating to spec. As long as you install them properly, high-quality aftermarket wheel spacers are exactly safe to use.
When it comes to quality and performance, BONOSS stands out in the 5×114.3 wheel spacers 350Z market. BONOSS forged active cooling 350Z wheel spacers are constructed with premium forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The 7075-T6 types provide a perfect combination of strength and weight to make sure you enjoy the track without worrying about spacer breaking. Always choose genuine brand spacers and never compromise on the quality.
The Nissan 350Z Wheel Spacers VS Offset Rims
The 350Z wheel spacers are almost the same thing as negative offset wheels. Generally speaking, a 20mm wheel spacer reduces about 20mm offset. The 350Z wheel spacers are the best way to give your car a wider stance while keeping the stock wheels. In the market, there are many good quality hub-centric spacers that are strong and light. Many well-known racing fabricators run wheel spacers with no concerns.
As long as you run quality hub-centric spacers and properly install them, there won’t be any issues. What’s better, BONOSS forged active cooling 350Z wheel spacers can improve brake cooling efficiency. There are heat dissipation grooves that send the external cold air to flow continuously inside the wheel spacer when it rotates. The air takes away the heat which effectively reduces the temperature of the brake disc. This allows the brake system to maintain excellent performance under various conditions.
Should I Use Loctite for Nissan 350Z Wheel Spacers?
No, you don’t need to use Loctite to install 350Z wheel spacers. As manufacturing technology improves, genuine brand wheel spacers are getting stronger, more durable, and rust-resistant. Just be sure every stud or lug nut is clean and dry. Properly torqued and checked after running in, the spacer wheel nuts won’t easily loosen up. Generally, forged aluminum wheel spacers are considered the best option. This is because they can withstand corrosion and rust.
Frankly, high-quality aluminum alloy wheel spacers don’t easily get rusty. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling 350Z wheel spacers have undergone a black hard coat anodizing process. The anodizing coating makes the spacer surface smoother, harder, and more wear-resistant. Besides, each BONOSS forged active cooling 350Z wheel spacer kit comes with Dacromet-coated wheel studs and lug nuts. These studs and nuts are the top of corrosion resistance
