Did you need wheel spacers? I have a 2012 nismo and am looking to do the same

You don't need spacers, but it looks much better if you do. A lot of Nismo owner that have spacers will go with 15mm on all four, but 15mm in the rear and 20mm front works well too.

How do you like your Fortune Coilovers with Swift springs? What spring rates did you go with?

I love my coil overs. The ride is smooth and responsive and they don't make any noise. These with the sway bar the car feel more connected and responsive. I believe they are 8kg front and 11kg rear.

Post up your spec sheet if you can. The NISMO suspension on the street leave a lot to be desired. My 52 mile interstate drive everyday is not so fun. I believe the suspension could be mucho better.

If I were to do it again, I'd probably go with 10mm. With 15mm, the wheels are sticking out just a little bit much for my taste. Can't imagine 20mm. To each their own tho.

Will do, I got to find the print outs for my alignments.

With the wider tires I'm happy with 15s all around, the rears look like they protrude just slightly, but when I was really low the fenders still covered the tire. But as you say to each their own...variety is the spice of life!

Attached are my current alignment settings. These I am lowered on Fortune 500 with Swift Springs and I have SPL front upper arms and SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts. I checked my spring rates are 11kg/mm front and 8/8kg/mm rear.
