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

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

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.
