Hello all,

I am soon to be converting from the base 18" wheels to the 19" rays from the sport package. Finally correcting that mistake. Haha.

Is there anything additional that I'm going to need to be able to fit these, or is it just a simple swap?

Thanks!

Simple swap.

Unless you want to push then out some for a more flush look, then you will want to run some spacers.

In case you did know what spacers are.

Sweet. Thanks for that info. Looks like 15mm spacers in front and 20mm spacers in rear would probably work best, but since I can just swap em for now, I can do that and get the spacers in a bit instead of having to wait.

I would go 20mm front and either 20mm or 25 mm on the rear. Looks really nice.

Good luck!

I'd have to see some pictures of it. I just want all four wheels to sit flush.

Do you have any pictures of that set up?

I don't like the nismo wheels actually. I prefer the sport rays. The NEW nismo wheels are nice, but very expensive.
