Wheel Spacers - please help !
 

I'd like to give my nismo a wider stance and considering getting spacers on front and rear. I was thinking 15mm in front and 20 mm in back without drop. Any brand recommendations? Would it work with stock studs or do I need to mod?

thx for your help:tiphat:

Depending on the design of the wheel, you may or may not need extended studs. 15 front, 20 rear will look nice if you drop the car. If not, go with 15mm all around. H&R makes great products. KICS is also a good spacer, and I've heard nothing bad about Ichiba spacers.

with OEM nismo wheels 15mm all around works best, that's the setup I had and they sat beautifully flush.

20mm no drop will look silly. they will stick out past the fenders. the lower you drop the more camber you will get. this helps those who run 20mm in the back to make them tuck in when they hit bumps. >>>it also looks sick!<<< buuut if you want to run a close to factory camber setting im almost positive it will rub. perfect would be a 17-18mm spacer.

sadly up front we need closer to a 18mm spacer. 15mm looks great and only rubbing is during extreme cornering while hitting a dip/bump, but i think it could use a few more millimeters. 20 rubs and thats not guna fly on my car. im past all those slammed rubbing camber games.

thats with factory tires. add in beefy rubber and things get tighter

and for those you who think 1-5mm isnt sh1t and you cant tell..... some of us care:tup:

spacers
 

I come from Thailand I use 25 mm in thefront and 25mm in the back It's very cool and don't have any damage things in the room wheels

:iagree:

Did you Drop the car ? what about studs - any mods ? Please post some pics. Thx.:tiphat:

he doesnt have a nismo saxx77..... and also, do some research!

Thanks Fuct. By the way, your car looks awsome with 15's all around , I think I'll go that route ! Did you have to mod your OEM studs in front and back ?

i appriciate the compliment. and no you dont mod the OEM studs. you replace them.....

please, please search....

I didnt drop my car I will post my pic as fast as I can please wait

drop and spacers kinda go hand in hand, but to each his own.

I'm already @ 15mm F and 20mm R. Personally the 20mm rear sticks out way
too much. I will switch my spacers to be 20F and 15R instead. Get H&R DRS.

i got h&r drm 15 and 20 mm, that i will sell soon. these spacer are the ones that u dont have to change out the studs.

Swap spacers?
 

I just installed 15/f and 20/r w/swifts on my 2012 nismo and your right, the rears stick out a bit much. Was thinking of swapping front to rear and visa-versa... Did this work for you? Do you have some pics after? :pics:

15 rear and 20 up front crosses my mind every time i look at my car. right now im still 15mm all around.

Fuct, I have 20 front and 15 rear. Factory size tires, factory suspension. Not sure why this isn't the common setup for the Nismo with stock wheels and tires. All four corners are perfectly flushed.

Swifts w/ 15mm all around

Looks Good!!!:tup:

Hey JaviZ,
It looks great ! Can you please tell me what brand of spacers you used. Also, did you have to modify the factory studs ?

Thx.

any of you guys have any rubbing issues with wider tires on front?

Saxx77, I went with the b2autodesigns hub centric spacers. Very strong piece, directly bolts onto the hub, and no need to modify factory studs. They're a vendor on here. You can find the spacers in the wheels and tires sponsor classifieds.

Just wanted to throw out there that we have 2.5mm hubcentric spacers for anyone that wants just a little bit of extra width. You could put one of these on top of a 15 or 20mm spacer.

Thanks JaviZ ! :tiphat:

just ordered 10mm spacers and studs from z1. to remove rear stud do you have to pull off caliber and rotor? looks like you have to.

yes you do, and you will not be happy with the 10mm. 15mm rear and 20 up front are the best with a decent drop. or 15 all around is nice too.

my after market wheels have a diffrent off set so I'm going to try these see what it looks like. any know torque setting for resr calibers?

ahh, nvrmd my comment then :tup:

and looking at my maintance book it says 133lbs for the two long bolts holding the caliper on.

fuct thank you sir

:tiphat:

one more question the rear axle nut looks to be 22mm is that right and again do you know the torque setting

Update: Front spacers need to be H&R DRS for the Nismo wheels. I found this out after I got a flat, removed the wheel and noticed it wasn't sitting flush against the spacer. The front Nismo wheels require longer studs on the spacer to fit properly. I didn't know this before going with the B2's up front. Rear is fine.

Bottom line, B2 spacers don't work up front with the Nismo wheels.
