I would say at least 20mm in the back. Also go with h&r spacers, they are higher quality and the hub is welded to the actual spacer.

I think the front needs more help than the rear. Most folks use larger offsets in the back but imo its the front that needs a bigger width from a cosmetic point of view...and turnability.

15mm is as far as you can go on the front. i rub the factory advans on bumps.

side note the tein springs give the car a on efinger gap, not 1-1/2. even though everyone says the H&R have such a large drop.

OP, learn to search bro!
H&R 15mm spacer intall front and rear

I cannot speak for the Nismo but this is what I have on my roadster. 20mm front and back with eibach springs(stillen). I just rub slightly with hard decelerating left hand with a 250 pound driver. Take Care.
