15mm spacers+drop vs. stock
 

thought you guys might want to see the difference between a stock nismo (black wheels) and one with 15mm H&R spacers and Tein springs.

15MM doesn't look much different.

its because hers isnt dropped.

15mm=0.5905494 inches.... its noticable

That's right, dropping will induce negative camber, and the 15 mm spacers helped to push the wheel and tire out so they're more flush with the fender again.

im also rockin a tad more camber which takes away from the spacers look.

repped...nice ! not gunna like looks like a good setup to me!

It does make a difference, that 15mm difference bugged the hell out of me when I had the nismo rims with no spacers.

Are those 15mm front and back? I am doing 20mm front and back are rubbing issues common?

do you have the nismo rims?

what is the drop on the tein springs?

a lil over an inch.

I think those spacers make a big difference.

huge!!!

No i have the 19 inch rays. 40th ann.

then your looking for spacer answers in the wrong forum. the nismo wheels are 1/2" wider than the sport/40th wheels.

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:

yep

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.

:tup:

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