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.

Thank You, great explanation. Now I understand. Are my wheels the Nismo v2's? I can't seem to verify that.

Your wheels are Nismo v1 (2010-2014).

Ok so maybe they won’t work with these spacers. I wouldn’t know how to check before I buy. As you can tell I know nothing about doing this. Thanks for your help.

I can't speak to the clearance on that particular set of wheels. You'll have to research it.

Is 20MM for the rear and 15MM for the front a good choice?

What brand/model/size tires are you running? What strut/shock/spring combo? Any other supporting suspension arms?
