Wheel Spacers 101

shadowchemos · 08-23-2016, 09:56 PM

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.
