It's something I reluctantly have to do, but I feel like I just shot Old Yellar.....

cool.

i think you will be happier that way imho... or atleast the car will drive the way it was intended on stock dampers.

do you have spacers on your car right now? if so, i think it would look good around front ET32-35 (nismo wheels are 42?) and rear ET15-19 (nismo wheels are 24?).

I think I need to do some reading, because I have no idea what you just said. It must have been some Asian dialect.

He is talking about wheel offsets ET32 means an offset of 32mm which is the distance between the center of the wheel to the mounting point

Yah I guess stock 19" wheels are ET47 Front and ET30 Rear. I'm mtrying to chew on this a bit tho: the distance between the center of the wheel to the mounting point.

I've got more reading to do!

Offset = (0.5 x wheel width) - the distance from the mounting surface to the rim edge.

hope this helps

So then the rear 19" (non-Nismo) distance from mounting surface to the rim edge is 3.82 (inches?). Do I have that right?
