Rotor upgrade - change offset via rotor possible?
Hello everyone.
I have a 2012 g37x with Coupe S 19's and I love them but do not want to use spacers to get the right fitment. Right now running 20mm all around but thinking about moving to 15mm.
However I am going to be doing rotors soon, can I push the hub out 15mm in some way while doing this upgrade? That way I can run my wheels and get the look I want without spacers?
Thanks in advance

However, as rotors are consumables and custom ones would likely be expensive to replace, I don't know why you wouldn't just use a quality hubcentric spacer. No need to complicate things when solutions already exist.
You could go with a full wisefab front suspension (Wisefab Nissan 370Z / Infiniti G37 Lock Kit | Feal Suspension, Inc. Race Proven Suspension Technology) or have custom arms made by a competent fabricator that understands how suspension geometry works... but it's probably cheaper to keep your set of spacers.

I am running hub centric H&R 20mm all the way around right now. No matter how I do it within 2 days a vibration starts to creep in. When I take off the spacer everything seems fine with the fit. The bolts are still snug, but sure enough when I re-torque the spacers and the wheels poof! Smooth as glass, for 2-3 days. Temp change seems to effect it.
Here are things I have replaced chasing this vibration down.
Camber Arms front and rear
3 sets of tires
Wheel bearings
New Shocks all the way around
New brake pads with a thorough inspection of the rotors
Stock and Coupe S wheels
If I can't find a sensible solution I will probably just take the spacers off have the car re-aligned and call it a day.

I also had a few other alignment problems in there which made it hard to track this down. Although I love all the upgrades for a while it was unclear to me and every shop I asked what the problem was.
Early in the process I took them off a few times and a noise was still there but it ended up being a bad alignment so I checked them off as good but now it seems I was hearing a few noises as one.

Here's a good posting on an Audi site
https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...-and-vibration
Have you tried only running one pair of spacers and see if you can further track down the location?
