I run the 61 mm Nismo Sports Long Hub Bolts with no spacers, only offset, just because I like the look and the added security of 100% thread engagement.
I added a Modern Spare to my Z and can now definitively state that the subwoofer sounds an order of magnitude better mounted inside a spare than it did surrounded by foam. I also did mount the spare wheel on top of a sound deadening pad for additional insulation from unwanted noise.
My Z is not lowered but my 370Z was and my wheels and tire setup works on both. Lowering doesn’t allow you to use wider wheels, it’s offset and camber. The wheel will travel the same path when the shocks are compressed regardless of ride height.
My rears are +18.
My current wheel and tire setup came right off my lowered 370Z Nismo and there was no rubbing at all (1.5” drop). Proper offsets and good alignment are key.
The wider tires also have the benefit of added grip which I always felt the platform could use more of even back on the Z34. As mentioned...
Congratulations on the purchase! What are your thoughts on the quality of these rotors? I personally think they’re the best 2-piece OE replacements in the market.
