Just go 20/25 or 25 all around. I have 20/25 on mine with Swift springs and the fronts aren't as flushed with the fenders as the rear.

This looks great. This is the look i'd like to have, but im worried about how it would look when I replace my tires as i'd be likely going with a 275/305 size.

Piggy backing on this thread for my question:

Is there any harm in installing 25 mm spacers In the rear and no spacer in the front?

Nope! It's all about preference and how you want it to look.

Most would recommend doing the front so it looks proportional but again it's all up to you.

No harm at all

Hi guys seen some wheels up for sale but whos knows how well these would fit and spacers etc?
20x10.5 front et25
20x10.5 rear et25

Not sure how they would sit as i have 12s on the rear at the min

hrmm the poke past hub chart is confusing for me.

Only want flush, no poke :) Lowered on swifts.

nismo rims are 19" x 9.5 front and 19" x 10.5 rear.

Does that mean for rear I would need 25mm and front 20mm if i'm lowered?

Edit: Looks like 15mm all around.

I know there is a bolt on the hub to prevent rear wheels from being accidentally installed on the front. Not sure if this is the cause, but you can remove that bolt. Or maybe the OEM front wheels do not have any kind of recess for the spacer stud to extend into.

Ugh. I was trying to install my 20mm/25mm bolt on spacers tonight before TX2K16 tomorrow but came across that bolt in the front. I had no idea what it was for, but obviously, could not install the spacer with that. It was late, so I decided to just give up and come look on the forum about more info on that. What a dumb bolt.

I assume it's just a threaded on fastener that should be easy to remove without any hassle? Anyone know for sure before I run into another surprise trying to remove it?

Its there so you dont put the rear wheels on the front and vise versa. It just unbolts

Yeah I found that out after I put the car down and went inside. Lol. Dumb bolt. It's coming off this weekend.

So if I read this correctly I do not need to get extended studs for the rear to install bolt on spacers for aftermarket wheels (type 2) correct?

Josh at Kamispeed was extremely helpful and got my order quick.
Just installed the H&R 20mm DRM (non stud replacement) spacers all around each wheel. this pic is with Swift springs installed at the same time, no alignment yet.
Heres some pics, hope this is helpful. Hopefully the springs settle a little bit more.

25mm Z1 all around, no rubbing at all, even on swifts. I love the look.

I ran 20mm front and 25mm rear on my OEM Sport Rays, and the front wheels, relative to the rears, looked a bit sunk in. You're right, 25mm all around looks great.

hey guys, sorry for the newb question, i just installed 20 inch rims on my base Z, 20x10 front, 20x11 rear, 245/35/20, 275/30/20, stern st2 rims, front of flush with the fender, rears look HORRIBLE and i spend thousands, so upsetting.. they said i need 45mm spacers for the rear to make it flush, but everyone saying its dangerous and creates too much negative camber, if i get 25mm H&R spacers for the rear, will it affect the camber? i dont want lop sided rims, i want them straight and flush, and to not mess with the camber.

can someone pm me i might forget to check this

/Angelo350Z/ 07-26-2016 07:42 PM

What is the rear offset? If you need 45mm spacers in the rear, are your wheels 20x11 +55, or something? And no, spacers will not affect your camber.

Hi, I'm new and just got a 2011 nismo a little while ago. Like my last car I will daily it during the winter and I need to get spacers for my other wheels to clear the front calipers. I found some on amazon and was wondering if anyone could tell me if they fit because they both say they do but some of the measurements are off on them.

Another question, how do you know what length lug nuts to order with spacers to ensure they fit properly? My other car had the same bolt pattern but different thread pitch so I can't use my old ones.

These are the spacers I found:

Spacer 1

Spacer 2

I need to measure my wheels because all I know is that they are 18s no idea about offset, but when I was test fitting the wheels 23mm of space would clear the calipers so I thought getting 25mm spacers would be perfect.

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. If anyone has a better place to get spacers that would be awesome, not trying to get anything super expensive.
