If you own a Nissan 370Z, you may be wondering if installing spacers will affect its performance. Spacers are a popular mod for 370Z owners looking to change up the look and stance of their Z car. But what effect, if any, do spacers have on how your 370Z drives? Let’s take a closer look.
Do 370Z Spacers Affect Handling?
When installed correctly using high-quality spacers, you should not notice any negative impact on handling. A wider track can actually improve handling by reducing body roll. The extra track width also provides more tire surface area in contact with the road.
It’s generally recommended to stay within 15-25mm of 370Z spacer thickness for optimal performance and durability.
The quality of the spacers also matters. Cheap spacers may not fit properly or stand up to abuse. Go with a reputable brand like BONOSS that uses high-grade billet aluminum for maximum strength.
Changing the offset of your wheels via spacers has a negligible effect on acceleration and straight line speed.
Braking force should not be affected by the use of moderate spacers either. The only consideration is making sure wheels with added spacers clear your brake calipers and don’t cause interference.
Some owners with big brake kits may need to use thinner spacers to maintain proper caliper clearance. Always double check for any potential clearance issues before driving with new spacers installed.
