why not just go this some aftermarket wheel's like some 14-or-15 by 10-inch'es wide, it would look really,really cool on all z's or even some 15 by 8 on the front and some 15 by 10 on the rear, would probally look like a 911 then

 

Hehe....... At work again?

and thinking about that fast little Z car of yours? Wouldn't wider be better? I would think so. Don't know about the spacers for a racer tho.... and I'm sure you will get some help regarding this issue

Hey Scott, Should I save my CV's for you when you run your wider tires with that motor of yours? Hehe

RE: Hehe....... At work again?

Widening the track can help handling,but there is a few down sides.
You increase the the load on wheel bearings(off set).Think of it as a lever,your socket wrench is easier to use with a pipe extension! The further away from
"center"it is, the more angular load can be applied using the same origonal force.
So the further off center your wheels become,the more wheel loads the bearings.
Racers can change these every race.You can't.
Sorry to sound scientific.

Sorry to be a downer, but I would'nt use spacers on a track car, specially with a four stud wheel. To get a wider stance, use wide wheels with sufficient offset to clear the calipers.
