What wheels are people running for AutoX?

Yes F14's. 18x10 ET+37, 18x11 ET+28. I ended up needing a 5mm spacer up front to prevent the tire rubbing the control arm under corner load so you could bump

I ended up needing a 5mm spacer up front to prevent the tire rubbing the control arm under corner load so you could bump the front offset up a touch to negate the need for the spacer, the rears fit perfectly.
A little bit of extra front camber may be required to make it all fit nice. I use -3.0 but -1.5 to -2.0 is probably sufficient.

What square tie setup do you recommend for a nismo on Re11s and dropped on swifts? I was thinking of doing 285/35/19 all around cause Mike recommended it. Do you think I can get away with more without much rub during heavy conering?

You can fit up to a 315 up front with no rub if you have the right wheels with the perfect offset. The ideal offset varies depending on how much camber you have.

On the stock Nismo wheels 285 or 295 all around would work pretty well I think.

I will be trying to stay in spec camber wise for the most part. I will be ordering spl arms for the rear to go with my swifts springs. From what i have read this should keep me in spec, and the front doesnt seem to need them. Thank you much Chris.

You'll probably gain about -0.5 degrees or a little more up front from the swifts which will be good and help tuck the fatter tires. You won't need camber arms unless you were trying to get extra camber up front.

I was pretty sure I would need the camber arms for the rear. Thats what I get from reading in the official swifts springs thread.

Camber gain in the rear will be much greater. Without camber arms in the rear you would be looking at -2.0 as the minimum.
