You are correct. I actually found this issue out myself. My front wheels were stuck to the hub after I installed the bolt with the 15mm spacers. The stock studs were a tad longer for the 15mm spacers. What happened was I was compressing the studs slightly into the back of the wheels. I had...
I will try to take some photos today. I just used some generic spacers. I have used generic spacers on many cars and had absolutely no issues at all. Most of the so called "brand name" spacers are all manufactured in China anyway.
I am very pleased with the way the RSR springs made the car looked as well as the improved performance. Keep in mind I have 15mm/20mm spacers F/B.
Today I had an alignment done. The technician was the same person who did my Miata a while back. He was very engaging with me throughout the whole...
I recently did. Was good for one day. Threw a check engine light and the code was the oil solenoid malfunction. I ended up just put a rubber hose with a cap over the stock solenoid and zip tied to the bracket. So far so good. The disappointing part was I email Jraccessories and never...
Spoke too soon. Got a check engine light today. It was the oil solenoid code. I used the JR supplied dummy plug to put into the stock harness. Apparently it did not work. I ended up putting the oem solenoid into the stock harness and just zip tied it on to a nearby bracket.
Will call JR...
I finally had a change to install the RSR lowering springs. I thought I would start with the rear as it seemed very straight forward. I was wrong. I had a very difficult time lining up the bolt for the spring bucket. I ended up having to remove a few trail arm bolts to loosen up the...
Perfect timing. I just did my first oil change at 1K miles. While I was at it I changed out the ABS oil pan with a Dorman oil pan and also replaced the oil solenoid with a JR oil solenoid block off plate. Pretty easy to remove and install. It also comes with a dummy plug for the stock...
Just scored an used 370z tonneau cover locally for $100. Yes, the 370z tonneau cover fits the Nissan Z perfectly. The parts numbers are different but they fit the same.
I am on the fence of getting some lowering springs for my 26 Performance. I only want to lower the most 0.5" on the front, and 0.75" in the rear. Mostly for cosmetic reason. I already have a set of Eibach sways front and rear. I am fully satisfied with how my current suspension is set up...
Mine is a 2026 Performance and the wheels didn’t clear with the 15mm.
Since I have already made indentations in the back side of the wheels I just may grind out those indentations a little more and try the 15mm again.
You are 100% correct. The back of my wheels only suffered about 3/8” of compression from the studs. Not bad at all. Hopefully others will see this thread and won’t make the same mistakes as I did.
I think we are talking about two different types of wheel spacers. The slip-in spaces which I agreed will need longer studs. I am referring to the hub centric wheel spacers. These are the ones that bolts on to the existing stock studs and the wheels bolt on to the studs that are in-cooperated...
I agreed with you the 15mm looks best on the front. But with my hub centric spacers it just simply won’t work. I am too lazy to replace the stock studs with the longer ones.
I had the hub centric spacers. The stock studs that the hub centric spacers attached to are too long if you use 15mm spacers. The stock wheels will not sit flush on the spacers. When you tighten the lug nuts you will press the wheels into the stock studs in order to reach the proper toque...
