I never knew that, just thought the offsets were a little different. Sport specs:19x9 +47 front, 19x10 +30 rear
I guess nismo's are 19x9.5 and 19x10.5?

Would it be best to run 20mm all the way around or 15mm. I'm dropped on Tien monoflex coilovers. Running the nismo wheels with 305/30/19 tires on the back

Those two white Nismo's parked together just look way too good :tup:

errr. im not sure with the 20mm spacers you can get the wheels back within factory alignment specs. some people dont care and will run -3 degrees of camber. im at -2 in the rear and i eat up tires..... granted toe has alot to do with that.


bottom line 15mm work and you can fit 305's AND stay with in factory alignment specs.

20mm fit but im not sure about getting the rear camber close to the factory -1.5

Spacers have nothing to do with the alignment. Thats all in how low you wanna go and if your willing to spend on proper equipment.

no they dont effect the alignment but we are trying to get as flush as possible AND keep the car within factory alignment (which you adjust separate from just having spacers..... duh)

so yes spacers effect your ability to maintain a stock camber setting and still be flush. if you run -1.5 of camber on a 20mm spacer the tire should rub. with a 15mm spacer it wont.

......cant believe i had to clarify that, or did I.. :P

My bad. The way I interpreted the posts was that you were relying on spacers for alignment specs. But instead, you're just trying to get the proper "flush" look meanwhile with whatever alignment you desire. gotcha.

Of course, it's a Nismo! Also, offsets are lower at 40f and 24r.
