That is sick! I might have to grab 20mm spacers now...

wheee! · 03-19-2011, 02:09 PM

Can't wait for my swifts to arrive.... I will stick with the 15 and 20's though in anticipation of wider tires...

If you have a reasonable amount of camber (i.e. the upper range of factory camber specs like I have), you can still easily fit 265s up front and 305s in the rear.

wheee! · 03-19-2011, 10:40 PM

I'm thinking 275's and 305's, no camber adjustments.

christian370z · 03-20-2011, 01:28 AM

Same here. It depends on which tire I decide on, but ideally I would like 265/305 or 265/295. Do you know what tire you might go with?

Probably the Hankook Ventus V12. I need the traction in wet weather and the longer tread life is appealing.

Like this thread.... Pictures of my Hankooks

I'm thinking of ordering the Swift Sports springs and 20mm rear/15mm front spacers. I have no idea as to what the install is like or how complicated it is. I'm already ordering other parts (Stillen CBE & G3) through my dealer and they are doing the install. I am howerver, a little skeptical about getting them to intall my spring/spacers. Do you guys think that the guys at the dealership are capable of doing this properly. If not, what type of installer should I be seeking?

wheee! · 06-13-2011, 09:30 AM

You can do all of these installs yourself in your home garage with a jack and two jackstands.... You will need a set of spring compressors though which you can rent or buy. Or borrow!
If you plan on bigger tires (305 rear - 275 front) then the 15 and 20mm spacers are best. If you are staying stock sizes with the Swifts then go 20 and 25 on the spacers. I have the 15 and 20's and plan on getting bigger rubber later so I'm set.

Brutal 370Z · 06-14-2011, 07:38 AM

Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated. I will be keeping the stock wheel setup so I guess I will order the 25mm rear/20mm front. Will this bring the wheels flush with the edge of the wheel well (the look I want), or will it flare out further?

wheee! · 06-14-2011, 08:07 AM

Will be close to flush with room to clear the wells. The added camber will compensate for the extra width of the spacers.

My car on 15 & 20's with Swift Spec R

15mm all around on Nismo with stock tires is the best combo; 15mm front 20mm rear work best on touring/base trims. Beyond that it will stick out and kick more dirt on your car, even more if you decide to go with larger tires.

Just finished this project myself. 15 and 20mm spacers with swift springs. I did the entire thing by myself with a jack and a couple of stands. It probably took me 10 - 12 hours. I'm not very experienced working on cars so I got hung up a few times and and made a couple mistakes I had to correct. An Impact wrench is a must and a lift would have been really nice.

alejo · 11-24-2011, 08:30 PM

Can anyone please tell me if i just need the camber arm and or toe bolt. So far I read that only the camber arm is needed. Is this correct? Also SPC or SPL? I'm ordering swift springs tomorrow along with 20/25mm spacers.

I'm lowered on swift with 20mm spacers all around. I don't notice any rubbing at all.
