I'm a bit confused...

I have a 2016 Nismo and I'm going to go with Swift springs here right away. I want to order the spacers at the same time, but I'm not confident on what to go with.

Items to consider:
- I will likely never up size the tires. The stock size seems huge as is for a relatively low powered car. I want to keep it as nimble as possible so bigger tires seems it'll only hurt that.

- it sounds like I should go with 15mm spacers all around. I will keep those plastic OEM fender flares on (I want to keep the car looking OEM+). Will the 15mm spacers cause any rubbing?

- will the wheels still look sunken with a 15mm spacer due to those OEM Nismo fender flares?

- should I go to bigger spacers?

- will I have to mess with camber if I drop the car on swift springs? I'd prefer not to have to.

- anyone have photos of a 15/16 Nismo on swift springs and 15mm spacers?

I like to drive hard. I want to avoid rubbing, yet have the most realistically wide stance possible while still being able to hit corners at light speed. Any help would be appreciated!!
