Anyone have a setup of 15mm spacers in front and 20 rear?

Mike · 02-14-2010, 02:10 PM

I would stick with 20s on the oversized tires. I just switched from Eibach springs to the suspension out of stormcrow's Nismo, and with 25s, the rears actually stick out of the wheelwell a little now. No rubbing because the tire swings inward at the top as the suspension compresses though, but I'm not sure I'm liking the look too much now.

I agree with Mike. I only went with 15s on the rear, and no front. With the stock 275s I am close to flush. When I go with 285s the look will work for me. If I had gone 20, I would have had to do front spacers as well. So I am saying I think you will like the look of 20mm rear and 285 tread. Mike knows, if he says the 25s stick out of the wheel well, I would definitely agree.

unfortunately, my wheels require 25s, as the stock studs protrude on a bolt on 20mm and the nismo wheels don't have the clearance behind them that the stock wheels have.

And, my track wheels require the 25mm spacers, although I may consider going to 15mm spacers front and rear in the near future, I just hate changing wheel studs on the rear.

This is so annoying!

Can anyone confirm that the FRONT sport wheels will fit the Ichiba 20mm V2 spacers and still A) Bolt on properly and B) Clear the wheel wells with the stock sport tires and suspension!!!

I am sure there are a lot of people that would go this route to avoid stud replacement alone!

phelan · 02-15-2010, 01:45 PM

i think you need the v1s on the front.

josh88 · 02-15-2010, 02:20 PM

I used H&R bolt on type in the rear and stud replacement in the front.

**** ill stick a open ended nut on there and grab my sawzall

wheee! · 02-17-2010, 01:04 PM

ok, I give up...

I guess I will just shut up and order the 15mm stud replacement for the front and the V2 20mm bolt ons for the rear.

NOW... which brand? A lot of people are leaning towards the H&R.... any other opinions?....

^ People are leaning towards it because they are great quality, proven to work and competitively priced. Why do you need other opinions? Just take the safe road!
