yep, unless you get wheels that are similar to your factory wheel size and offset.

if you know you're getting aftermarket wheels i would just wait on the spacers unless you already have a set to use.

If you increase the stagger between front/rear too much, then yes, it will. But the most common setup is something like a 15 front / 20 rear in which the only real benefit is a little more grip with the wider track. Also by pushing the wheels out a bit you dial in a tad bit more negative camber. A very small about, but it's there nonetheless.

Is 15/20 stock? That might make this set up more neutral then?

Although I found the stock set up pretty neutral as is.

Stock track width for the Sport package cars is 60.6" front and 61.6" rear. Our cars are pretty neutral stock as we are running a pretty soft rear bar.

If you keep adding more rear width it will induce understeer, but with 15mm not yet. Actually it tames the car for straightline. We have lots of straight roads where I live so this is good. :p

I have a Nismo and will be riding stock height on stock rims. I am looking to go H&R with 15 in the fronts. For the rear should I go 15 or 20? Thanks in advance.

whoady4shoady 02-14-2011 02:16 PM

bump

tjlazer 02-15-2011 12:53 AM

For the Nismo you want to go 15mm max F&R or the wheels/tires will stick out past the fender and that will throw up rocks and crap along the sides of your car and it will look like crap.

Holy bump. I'd go 15 all around.

Looking good 370zjames. :D

kdo2milger 05-18-2011 12:35 PM

will i run into rubbing issues with 20mm front/25mm rear with swift spec-r springs?

ZForce 05-18-2011 12:44 PM

^Nope, had them on mine and the bros for the last year (with Eibachs) and no rubbing at all. And just installed Swift on both cars late last month with 600 miles and no rub at all.

:tiphat: sweet! cant wait to get this setup done!

does she handle/track better/worse?

ZForce 05-18-2011 10:14 PM

Much better than OEM and Eibach, smoother ride and when cornering there is no body roll. It's amazing because I would think springs this confortable would be terrible in the twisties....NOT. Swift really took the Oscar this year especially since they manufactured them to go with OEM shocks. Best bang for the buck and some!

I am also running with Stillen sways.

They track very well and feedback is great.

kdo2milger 05-19-2011 02:45 AM

thanks for the feedback ZForce

i decided to go new rim route so i will have a bnib ichiba 20mm set and 25mm set for sale soon

ZForce 05-19-2011 02:35 PM

No problem I wanted to give back to the community who has been very helpful with my decision making when it comes to mods.

Lucky you, wish I could afford new rims, What did you settle on for rims? g/l with sale on spacers they should go real fast, high demand out there in the community.

kdo2milger 05-19-2011 03:17 PM

FIVE:AD S5:F
Gunmetal
2x 20x9.5 +25

Looks much better. Thinking about doing this on my NISMO, but want to make sure I won't rub with 305 rubber out back and 265 up front. Anyone know?

I would also like to know

kenchan 05-26-2011 01:23 PM

i doubt the rear would sit that flush with +22 (10.5" width) on the rear on that blue car.
i think chopped or 10mm spacers used.

Eihtball99 05-26-2011 10:40 PM

Great post...thanks for the before and after pics. I'm trying to decide on 15mm spacers for my new TSWs.
