Thank you! I got them powder coated at a shop

i know.... it bugs the hell out of me I want to get spacers. But what size?

Infiniti could have put such bigger tires on the car but getting new wheels and tires is a whole new project lol

Try 20mm rear 15mm front. I'm looking to do the same until I get wider tires

Here are my calipers, not quite dark bronze but close. They're pretty easy to do. Just sand down the stock ones and paint away.

those look great! I like the akebono insignia on it too. and I don't know if I can trust myself painting my brakes though haha

and yeah I might do the spacers because the wheel is tucked in too much

Do you have an automatic? If so there's more to it... Just do a search on the forum though there's several very detailed threads about doing the swap. For me, I'm a 6MT so I just bought the gears and whiteline diff bushings and just had it swapped out.

I added the spacers and it looked great. I'm not sure what size I had, but they were scrapping the wheel well and the studs kept on breaking.




Spacers on the rear.




I barely caught the broken studs.

bro u mustve installed regular cheap spacers thats why ur lug nuts keeps popping out. get the H&r adapters or the kit with the longer studs 15mm all around thats what i run. Love it. wheels are balanced noe no vibration on high speeds

Thanks for the info demo401. It was an adapter and the studs keep snapping. I didn't have vibration from the wheels at all. I think the adapters were to wide. So when I would go over bumps while driving is when they would rub the wheel well. I will look to see what size they were and get da size you have. Again thanks demo401!!

Please re-dip your wheels bro...They look terrible. No offense...

demo401

yea man adapters are dangerous from what i heard the wider at least. 15mm IMO is the safest route. Run with H&R i got a pair from egay fro 125. Already did the back but will do the front soon. Would be terrible if ur wheel popped off on the road.

I really enjoyed doing my own calipers. It was my very first DIY that included painting. You should give it a shot. The only hiccup is bleeding the brake lines when you reinstall. I had someone do that part for me. It was $80 for the bleeding and install.

Headlight work can go several directions. Guys like to paint the back housing gloss black or flat black....then you can paint your shrouds to match your car color or the accent colors (calipers, or infiniti symbols if your into that). I really like the Panemara shroud mod. Check out 180customs for ideas.

I'm a noob at telling wheels apart. Are those Vossen CVT? what are the wheel/tire size? Looking great!

demo401

cvt vossen. 255/30/20x10.5 +45 15mm rear spacers and front. Had to run spacers to clear the BBK in front
