Those Of You With Spacers - Specifically, With The Non-ZTK Wheels - 791M

I see most people with the base model wheels are going with the 10mm Front , 13mm Rears.

And most of those with the ZTK wheels typically go with 13/15.

For those of you who have the base model wheels and went with 10/13 , do you think that a 13/15 would have been a better flush fitment?

I'm not looking to have a 'hella flush' look. But rather just a regular flush fitment. I don't want to be right on the verge of poke.

It depends on which part of the tires is going past the fender, at which point on the fender.

If your concern is only about the top of tire and top of fender.

~0.1" more on the front and ~0.08" on the rear. I can't see why they wouldn't fit.

If you buy all 3 sizes, you can't go wrong.

That's true. I could start with 15/13 . And if I think it's too flush , I can just buy a set of 10mm spacers, and run 10/13

I did not option ZTK for a few reasons. I have the 791M w/performance non run-flat tires and run 10/13mm spacers. Wouldn’t mind a slightly larger spacer in the front but the 10s definitely help

Oh wow. The front definitely needs a bit more. Same wheels and tires I have specd with my order.

The back looks pretty good . So I'm thinking maybe 13/13 might be the way to go. Otherwise , 13/15 for sure .

Thank you for posting

Yeah, honestly from that angle you are absolutely right. Now I’m contemplating buying another set of 13s 😂

Mine has no ZTK option. Standard wheel and tyre size (225/40-19, and 255/35-19). Equip with 12mm/15mm spacers.

Hello friends. Just to update the thread , I ended up going with 13mm front , and 13mm rear.

Looks great in my opinion . Not too flush, but near perfect flush (for me).

I ended up going for a 15mm all around and i think it’s good enough.

I want to go lower, but debating on getting new wheels so don’t want to mess with anything right now in case, of 20 inch wheels filling in the gap that I have.

My dropped car days are over. The Eibach drop I currently have is about all I need. I can still comfortably drive over speed bumps and anything else.

So talking of spacers, what are the best brands? I plan on getting some, but I need silver/aluminum color and not black, and all I seem to be able to find is black.

Any suggestions of quality spacers would be greatly appreciated.

I've used H&R Spacers before without any issues. And They're silver.

I've had h&r spacers on an Infiniti. They are very good quality. But not cheap
