do you have spacers on your car right now? if so, i think it would look good around front ET32-35 (nismo wheels are 42?) and rear ET15-19 (nismo wheels are 24?).

I think I need to do some reading, because I have no idea what you just said. It must have been some Asian dialect.

He is talking about wheel offsets ET32 means an offset of 32mm which is the distance between the center of the wheel to the mounting point

Yah I guess stock 19" wheels are ET47 Front and ET30 Rear. I'm mtrying to chew on this a bit tho: the distance between the center of the wheel to the mounting point.

I've got more reading to do!

Offset = (0.5 x wheel width) - the distance from the mounting surface to the rim edge.

hope this helps

kenchan · 03-13-2012, 11:15 PM

happy- wat zman said.

are you on stock 19's? if so, a clean look at stock height is 15mm bolt-replacement type spacers front and rear. some folks like 10mm on the rear.

for a more aggressive look people use 20mm all around... or if lowered 20mm/25mm bolt-on spacer setup.

so you got:
ET47 (stock) - 15mm stud replacement spacers = ET32 for front
ET30 (stock) - 15mm stud replacement or bolt-on spacers= ET15 for rear

hope this helps.

ZMan8 · 03-13-2012, 11:20 PM

I read (can't find thread) the hubcentric lip on the eibach spacers is .1 mm different then H&R. Anyone have input on this?

Fire · 03-13-2012, 11:24 PM

If you take 1/3 the distance from top of wheel to fender and factor in the ground clearance from the front bumper to the ground and measure the roof to the ground you get? Numbers. And confused.

Did that help Happy?

Kenman subscribe to a sushi of the month club with the $200.

Yes, I'm on stock 19's, and this information did help! Thanks so much!

I am wondering though...Does the width of the tire have much play when adding spacers if at stock height? I'm about to add a 275/305 setup and had been thinking about a 10/15 or 15/20 spacer setup.

Fire · 03-13-2012, 11:29 PM

I'd just go by my man Ken's recomendations. Glad I could help LOL.
