rc_cola_j Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Anyone using wheel Spacers with stock sized wheels/tires on their R50? If so, what size (1”,1.5”,2”)? Or wheels with equivalent offset? Would you post photos? I would like to see what different stances look like. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that factory paint? I love the look of it, like a navy ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am going to order some 2 inch Spacers. I am running Toyota rims on my pathfinder, does it matter if they are hub centric or rim centric?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I’m running 1.5 inch spacers. In my case I needed them to clear the mile marker manual hubs because the little lip at the edge of the hub that the cap clips onto was blocking the rim from fitting over the manual hubs. This is only an issue with this particular rim style as far as I know, but it’s another reason to consider spacers depending on your wheel set up. I like how the hub sits flush just inside the hub bore this way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bax03SE Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 You shouldnt need to trim too much, but yes you will need to trim to run that wide of a spacer. You can unscrew the bottom of the wheel well liner from the bumper, then push it forward a couple inches and re-secure it with new screws through the bottom of the bumper. With that done just turn the wheel back and forth and look at where it is hitting and just trim a little at a time until youre happy with the clearance. The plastic bumper is easy to trim with a good pair of shears or a utility knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
