Spacers with NISMO RIMS

Z Monster

I am looking to get a very aggressive stance with my car and im not sure if i should keep the offset the way it is? I have tried to look for other opinions but it seems to be a bit confusing with what im looking for in an "offset" i guess im not clear with what that represents.

I just got me new DSWs to sit on the NISMO rims and was just wondering what spacers i should use and how thick of a spacer for the front and/or rear? The DSWs tires are same size dimensions as the factory nismo w/advans. So i have 245/40/19 with 285/35/19.

Should i add spacers? if so how much of an addition? what type?

Thanks guys for your help

H&R DRS Spacers 15mm front and 15mm back, it will make the Nismo wheels sit flush at +25 (40-15) and +8 (23-15). You can also go 15/20 if you're lowered.

Same size doesn't mean it has the same offsets. It can vary. I'd say google offsets, and once you figure what it means, then try to figure out what size spacers to get for your car/wheels (Also, if you post the offsets of your DSW, it would be easier for people to help you)

By DSWs I think he means continental extremecontact DSW tires... so he's still using NISMO rims. So 15 front and back unless lowered then 15/20. Those continentals seem to have a meatier sidewall which will fill the fender gap nicely. I would still recommend lowering...

Thanks hdskull for the recommendation. Yes i did mean extremecontact DSW tires with Nismo rims. I am actually waiting on for my swift spec r springs also. Therefore 15mm fronts and 20mm back is what i am planning on getting in the near future. Thanks for your help tsolin01.

I just received my set of H&R spacers 20 front 25 rear from Mike at Concept Z. He is a sponsor and was a great help to me.

Hey, for those of you who have put the spacers on, do you find that the tires kick up more stuff from the road that hits the paint, compared to when they dont have spacers? Make sense? just curious as im thinking about spacers also but dont want road gunk spitting up against the side of my car...

tjlazer

^ yes that is exactly what is going to happen with 20mm. That's why you should use 15mm or less. It's common sense. (for the Nismo wheels)

I may go with 15mm later, but for now I am not running spacers for this exact reason (and for safety)

even with 15mm all around i kick up more road sh1t.

if you go 20mm in the back and want it to tuck you will be running an aggresive amount of camber. some are ok with it but im not. tires are too $$$$$$$$

Pelican170

Yea, thats what I thought. Dont think i would get them myself due to that...

here's mine for reference

i would do 15mm spacers in the rear if i had to do it over again, just to get the camber dialed in.
