Are these spacers any good?

Ok so maybe they won’t work with these spacers. I wouldn’t know how to check before I buy. As you can tell I know nothing about doing this. Thanks for your help.

I can't speak to the clearance on that particular set of wheels. You'll have to research it.

Is 20MM for the rear and 15MM for the front a good choice?

Learn how wheel sizing works

Buy wheels that fit

What brand/model/size tires are you running? What strut/shock/spring combo? Any other supporting suspension arms?

So, 19x9.5 +40 and 19x10.5 +23 Nismo v1 wheels with stock size rubber. Swifts drop approximately 1". You may see rare rubbing in the front if traversing uneven surfaces at speed if you go with the 15mm spacers. 20mm in the rear will be fine as you have camber arms.Ideal fix would be to get some FUCA. Alternatively, you could go with 10mm in front. Either way, I would go with type I spacers in front and type II in the rear.

Amen to that.

I agree that whenever possible, wheels with proper specs should be sourced in order to avoid the use of spacers. However, given that v1 Nismos only come in one size, it's not like OP has a choice.

He could learn what size his own wheels are

And how spacers affect sizing
