OMG more compliments for Kenman. :shakes head: He is not going to be able to get thru the garage door with his big head LOL J/K Kenbro Hey Alcheng is that a stapler mod?

Alcheng, I run Swifts with 15 mm spacers all around. I am very happy with the setup froma looks and performance point of view. I do not know if the alignment is impacted just by adding spacers because I always align after anything done to my suspension. Alignments only cost me the time it takes to drive to the shop and wait - maybe 1.5 hours total.

These two shots are right after spring installation:

Thanks!!! :tiphat:

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.

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.

20 months maybe? It was only the center section near the fog light and it was probably my error. The entire vinyl came off very cleanly.
