i think this is the only thing available for the 09s right now...and they only work for enkei wheels
http://www.nengun.com/enkei/cap-spacer-kit
damn... seriously? I thought the 09' fitment did not change compared to nissan 350Z?
Or am I dreaming?
I see that the hub is 66.1
and the
spacer, http://www.ichibausa.com/20albowhsp6.html, is 66.2
Will that be okay?
I'm guessing that the centerbore being 1mm bigger is to fit in the hub right? If not it would not be able to "smooth" in kinda?
Does anyone know if the studs on the spacers are longer than the stock studs? Because if they aren't then i still have a problem with my lugs nuts not getting 7turns at least... right?
Thanks

Pretty much any wheel can take a spacer - all you need is the center bore (66.1mm) and the bolt pattern (5x114.5).

Don't worry, that is the correct size.
The bolt pattern is actually 5 x 4.5", which is the same as 5 x 114.3 mm. Our bore is 66.2 mm. Sometimes it's listed as 5 x 114 and the decimal place is rounded off.

Has any 09's FX installed spacers on their baby yet?
---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was Yesterday at 09:55 PM ----------
I was thinking that maybe the 20mm will be too much with the 21" OEM that has a 50mm offset....
So I am leaning more towards the 15mm now, however I hope the 15mm won't be to thin in such way that the original studs will be too long and might have to shave them to fit the winter wheels....
Any recommendation guys?
Thanks

I have fx50s wheels with ichiba v1 15mm spacers (front & rear) on Gen1. no issues and needed to clear the fx50s bbk (*edit: for oem 20's).

Do you think 15mm is not enough?
I mean, is it flush flush at 15mm?

25 MM would be perfectly flush I think, since 20 is still a tiny tiny bit in.....I have 20mm

yeah, but soon, we replaced your studs with longer ones... if you do that then you can go 5,10,15... whatever you want. if you don't replace the studs then even 15mm is not thick enough & you will have to shave the stock studs... I did ege's 15mm spacers of the 10 stud design & had to cut the studs quite a bit... search for posts by ege...
nevermind, he spells it eg3, but anyway, here is his post... I thought I remembered 20 would clear the stock studs, but according to him he even tried 20 after I did the 15 for him & they still didn't clear... you'll need to go 25mm to not have to cut the studs with the 10 stud design...

^ dude look at soon's pic. you need atleast 20's to be flush
09 is different body, 25mm with 21's is not confirmed, espercially if you drop it later...
"Hum... this is assuming that the 06" and 09" are built the same way, right? "
this is assuming the OE stud length is the same, which it is... like I said in the other thread, nissan is stingy on there stud length... reason being that the spare is a stamped steel wheel & for the closed end lugs to still work with the spare they have to leave extra depth there... the spare is much thinner at the lugs than the aluminum wheels. there is no way the 09's are using shorter studs because the studs on the first gen are about as short as you can safely go... if you go with longer studs you MAY need to use open ended lugs for the spare only, & even then maybe not...
we used 15mm longer studs on soons ride, & guess what... even with the 15mm longer studs the lug nuts still fit fine even when the spacer was completely removed... just to show how much more depth the lugs have compared to the available stud length.... & yes, I'm talking with the same exact OE lug nuts you have & the same 21" enkie's you have...
I keep repeating myself but I'm trying to get you to see wtf I'm talking about...
dude, you have 3 choices....
1) replace the studs with longer studs... (best option)
2) go 15mm-20mm 10 stud design & cut your stock studs & always have to run the spacers...
3)go with 25mm 10 stud design that'll bolt right on
trust me bro, I'm not guessing here, I've done these several times already, I'm not giving you opinion I'm giving you facts & tying to help you
even the dealer doesn't necissarily know what there talking about... weren't they the ones to say you can use 10mm 10 stud design? that's not possible...

Jordan, I think what he means is "the 2nd Gens all come stock with 50mm offset, the 1st Gens come stock with 40mm offset.
Is there a difference in the build of the first and second gen that made it necessary for Infiniti to change the offset by 10mm on the OEM wheels for the 2nd Gen.
I think this is what is bothering Price. I don't think anyone has really checked this in depth.
Personally I would have bought better wheels and also ones that fit the 09 to eliminate this hassle of fitment and wheel balance.

Thanks TurboCad & GEE35FX,
I know those are my 3 options. But I want to make sure that if I use spacers with the OEM 21" 50mm offset, my wheels/tires won't be outside the fender.
And I see that my winter rims have extra holes... are those maybe for the case that the stock studs are too long and you can fit them in there without having to shave them off? That way, it still leave me the options to run spacers during winter and take them off when I install my 21" OEM.
I should of gotten better wheels maybe? Perhaps.
The only issue right now just for the sake of security which leads me to the spacer, and just worried about the outcome if I use them with the 21" 50mm.....
The balancing issue, I believe is due to bad garage balancing maching, and I still didn't receive my centering rings. I believe the rings will solve this issue, already I barely feel the vibration between 100~120km/h after I got them rebalanced at this specialized in balancing garage.
What I have in my head right now:
1) 15mm or 20mm spacers? (I don't want 25mm, I believe they will be too much with the 21"OEM)
2) Do I need to shave my studs? (Apparently yes from TurboCad in either case of spacers selection)
------------i) is it possible that my winter rims have extra holes so that it takes care of the stock studs without having to shave them?
3) If used with 21" OEM +50mm offset, will the wheels/tires be outside the fender?
------------i) if it will AND
----------------a) winter Rims can take care of the stock studs, I am willing to
run the 21" without spacers.
----------------b) need to shave studs, this is worst case scenario, and I will get
longer studs end of story.
------------ii) if it won't, then I am willing to run with spacers at all time if stock
studs needs to be shaven.
I am sorry for all this repetition and dragging this longer than it is supposed to.
But I want to make sure I get it right this time, since you can see I kinda messed up on my rims purchasing already.
I hope this time I was much clearer....
Thanks again guys, very much appreciate it!
