2023+ Nissan Z Wheel Spacers

Thanks all! I'm installing these tomorrow afternoon. I bought Loctite Orange (yes, there's an orange) that seems like an in-between the blue and red. Still not sure I'll use it but we'll see.

What's the torque spec you all used? Z1 told me 80 ft-lbs.

I did 90 ft lbs with garageline

Got these installed this morning! I ended up going with 85 ft. lbs. since Z1 confirmed Nissan's spec was 80 but a few folks had been doing 90+. Very easy install, just time consuming to spec every bolt. I also decided against using Loctite; Z1 point blank said they don't recommend it.

20mm front and rear?

Yep, they’re 20mm. It’s two sets of identical spacers.

Love the looks. However, are you concerned at all with potential damage to the finish from road debris being kicked back?

After 100 miles, remove the wheels and retorque the spacers. This will make it so the spacers dont come loose. After you put everything together, drive 100 miles and retorque the wheels. This will be good until the next time you remove the wheels and/or spacers

A lot of people dont retorque and why spacers get a bad rep

Thanks for the heads up! I definitely plan on checking them again. I get the impression most people “set it and forget it”. For something in a critical location, it seems negligent to not re-check them at least once.
