That is to say, your wheels are perfectly centered to your Nissan 350z’s wheel hubs. There’s no movement and no vibration through the wheels, meaning a nicer ride, and a lot less stress on your wheel studs.

It can appear in either inches or millimeters, so be sure you know which one you’re looking at. Since the 350z’s bolt pattern is 5×114.3, which indicates a 5 lug pattern on a circle with a diameter of 114.3 mm, only 5×114.3 wheel spacers or 5x4.5 inch wheel spacers are compatible with your nissan 350z.
