Wheel Spacers - please help !

saxx77 · 09-09-2011, 10:04 AM

I'd like to give my nismo a wider stance and considering getting spacers on front and rear. I was thinking 15mm in front and 20 mm in back without drop. Any brand recommendations? Would it work with stock studs or do I need to mod?

thx for your help

Depending on the design of the wheel, you may or may not need extended studs. 15 front, 20 rear will look nice if you drop the car. If not, go with 15mm all around. H&R makes great products. KICS is also a good spacer, and I've heard nothing bad about Ichiba spacers.

with OEM nismo wheels 15mm all around works best, that's the setup I had and they sat beautifully flush.

20mm no drop will look silly. they will stick out past the fenders. the lower you drop the more camber you will get. this helps those who run 20mm in the back to make them tuck in when they hit bumps. >>>it also looks sick!<<< buuut if you want to run a close to factory camber setting im almost positive it will rub. perfect would be a 17-18mm spacer.

sadly up front we need closer to a 18mm spacer. 15mm looks great and only rubbing is during extreme cornering while hitting a dip/bump, but i think it could use a few more millimeters. 20 rubs and thats not guna fly on my car. im past all those slammed rubbing camber games.

thats with factory tires. add in beefy rubber and things get tighter

and for those you who think 1-5mm isnt sh1t and you cant tell..... some of us care

Thanks Fuct. By the way, your car looks awsome with 15's all around , I think I'll go that route ! Did you have to mod your OEM studs in front and back ?

drop and spacers kinda go hand in hand, but to each his own.

karotZ · 09-16-2011, 05:23 PM

I'm already @ 15mm F and 20mm R. Personally the 20mm rear sticks out way
too much. I will switch my spacers to be 20F and 15R instead. Get H&R DRS.

Lazy · 09-17-2011, 03:50 AM

I just installed 15/f and 20/r w/swifts on my 2012 nismo and your right, the rears stick out a bit much. Was thinking of swapping front to rear and visa-versa... Did this work for you? Do you have some pics after?
