what is the right spacers for nismo using the tires and wheels using the swift spec-r without rubbing? thanks!
25 rear and 20 front seems to be a popular setup.

Ehh..... the nismo rims actually have a more aggresive offset than the sport rays, usually they don't need as aggressive a setup. 20 and 25 might poke out a bit with the nismo rims, if I remember correctly I believe 15 all around was a decent setup for nismos.

Sorry about that. You are correct in terms of the Nismo.

Sorry but I dont have any updated pics to show you guys yet. But you might as well install toe bolts on the rear because you can change out the rear spring at the same time. I did SPL camber arms on the rear also. Font camber is at -1.5, rear at -1.7.

Do your research.There are tons of pics on the forum with various set ups. I may eventually install camber arms up front depending on tire wear. A lot of guys leave it as is. After the drop With the spec r springs most end up with about -1.4 to -1.7 camber in front without adjustable arms. My ride is in winter hibernation right now. I installed most of the suspension in January. Waiting on F.I. Exhaust to ship now.

SS prefer CF but in the event of scrapage I think the SS would hold up better.

^^^ this

I'm on swifts, rear camber kit, no front. FI CF and don't scrape. Just be slow with driveways and speed bumps and you'll be fine.
