Are these spacers any good?

Since they are type II spacers, just make sure you have enough relief on the backsides of the wheels for the tips of the OEM studs (and some of the aftermarket nut on the 15mm spacers).

Is it better to get Type 1 spacers?

Type I spacers require that you hammer-out your existing studs and replace them with extended ones. It's not necessary so long as you have enough relief as mentioned previously.

I guess I don’t know what you mean by relief on the back of the wheel. How can I tell if these will work before buying?

The length of the OEM studs is greater than the thickness of your spacer. Therefore, a portion of the stud will protrude beyond the mounting surface of the spacer. This is a typical 20mm bolt-on spacer. The studs on your car will stick out even further using a 15mm type II (bolt-on) spacer. 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.

I’m on 13mm, stock alignment #’s, lowered about an inch. 275/35 front, 285/35 rear RE71 (sidewall not as bulged compare some other brands of summer tires).

Spacers on a Nismo

in short:
no, bolt on spacers (type 2) will not work on the front. but will work on the back.
you probably want 15mm front spacers, you want them to be hub centric. an you will need extended studs
the studs can't be extend too much, (15mm = the the spacer width would be best)
you can't use super long studs because the washer style lug nuts from Nissan are closed ended (though you could grind off the end if you really wanted super long studs)

in the rear 20mm bolt on will be fine. the garageline don't look any different than any other spacer i've seen.
i would suggest the easy route

if you really need it to be black. mask off the faces and paint the edges. You won't be able to tell the difference.

But H&R sells 15mm DRS spacers as well that come black if you are set on it.
