Post drop with my Sport rims; 15mm front and 20mm rear.
My Nismo rims have a slighly more aggressive offset, and I find that the 15mm fronts just barely poke out from under the fenders. The 20mm rears stick out too far for my taste. Ken-san recommended 5mm to 10mm spacers for the rear, and after some time with a couple of rulers, I went with 10mm. The sweet spot is actually around 7mm, but I couldn't find any H&R DRS spacers that size. To quantify what I did, I took a 36" level and placed it against the face of the front tire/rim and held it level, and then measured the distance to the edge of the fender. In my case, the front was 10mm. When I repeated the process on the back tire, the distance was 20mm, hence, I will put a spacer that is 10mm shorter than the current 20mm, or a 10mm spacer. So, I'll have about 1/3 of the shoulder exposed from underneath the fender, but none of the tread. I know guys with 25MM on the rear wheels of their Nismos and they like the look. Again, it's all subjective and there is no right or wrong here.

Mr. Onzedge, you ever wish you did 20mm in the back or is 15mm good?

 I could probably do a 20 or 25 mm in in the rear without troubles, but I like the stance the way it is now -- verymuch.

Well I was browsing on craigslist for ***** and gigs and found a guy selling the CF hood I want for only $400 soooo I bought it.
As you can see in that picture I painted my calipers yellow (yes I'm one of those guys who has a black car and wants to go batmobile theme so im going black and yellow) so I got bored and painted my engine cover! I still need to get in with a small brush and fill in the nissan letters in black to make it look better but I'll do that when I have the time because my G3's should be arriving in the next few hours!!!!1!1!!!oneoneone!!! |
