In addition, some of the spacer mounting nut will also extend beyond the mounting surface.



Wheels have varying amounts of relief machined into the mounting face. Some wheels have no relief at all. This example is a Nismo v2. It has enough relief to accommodate a 20mm type II spacer. Not sure about a 15mm though. You'll have to research further.
Thank You, great explanation. Now I understand. Are my wheels the Nismo v2's? I can't seem to verify that.
