Preffered Wheel Spacer Size For Nismo?`

johncy2000 · 09-17-2012, 02:11 PM

What do you guys reccommend wheel spacer wise for the Nismo? I'm thinking 20mm in the front and 15 in the back. What do you guys think?

There is a sticky but noone is on it so I'm taggin in here with you. I have the base OEM wheels, whats the best for those too. Copy and paste both answers to the sticky cause neither base nor nismo sizes are answered there.

Anyone?

mwhit02 · 09-17-2012, 04:09 PM

from what i've researched, it's more like 20mm in the back and 15mm in front. Some people even run 20mm all the way around.

15mm front and back.

Thanks for the advice! I don't know what to run. I want to be flush.

Thanks for the pointer man! Which spacers do you have?

KcL@AOI · 09-17-2012, 08:44 PM

if your lowered go 15mm in the front 20mm in the back. but if your lowered and running 305s in the back then run 15mm all the way around.

Thanks for the replies guys! Will the 15mm DRM spacer fit the stock nismo wheels?

tjlazer · 09-18-2012, 12:31 AM

20mm in the rear and it sticks out past the fenders! If you want this get 20mm.

ive answered this question several times, you just gotta search a lil better.

15mm all around with wider wheels is fine, 20mm with wider tires and they stick out too much. also i dont think you can get back to factory camber settings on the 20mm's wide tries or not.

buuuut 20mm on factory tires with a bit of camber and drop is pretty damn close to flush.

and only use the DRS series.

20mm all the way around. But it is personal preference.

Thanks man! If I decide to remove the spacer later and get new wheels, do I have to put back the stock studs on the hub? Or can I just slide the spacer off and be set? Thanks

someone stated there is 15mm of gap inside the factory lug nuts so they SHOULD still fit on the longer studs. but i would remove them if you ever go back.
