Wheel spacer for Nismo/Swift's?

fuct

15mm all around wont rub. 20mm with wide tires and factory alignment specs MIGHT rub. people got 20mm to work but they have alot of camber.

you are being too anal about the different diameters.

Perhaps I am... So 20MM with factory rims/tire size will rub on the Nismo?

no.... that all depends on your camber settings.

heres what i said

"20mm with wide tires and factory alignment specs MIGHT rub"

factory camber setting will be affected once you put on the swift springs. to some people 2 degrees of camber is fine. i would personally like to be at the factory recommended settings. which is possible with a proper camber kit and toe lock out bolts.

i dont think there are many guys on here with 20mm spacer AND still holding factory camber and toe settings, wider tires or not. if there are people out there doing it please chime in.

I may or may not be a help at all and I'm in any way not an expert.
Anyhow, I've experimented with tons of spacers out there, as far as
what I've tried and seen personally, it depends what style you want.

Going 20mm all around is the aggressive setup having it cambered in.
Same thing with a 15mm all around, the rear requires being cambered in while
the front will stay flush by the fender.
I've done 15/20, 15/15 and 15/10. I'm on H&R springs with SPC rear camber
kit, it may not be the springs you want/have but at least gives you an idea
where the wheel will sit.

With the nismo wheels being 19 X 9.5 +40 and 19 X 10.5 +23, having 15/10
puts the offset at +25 and +13 respectively, close to the most preferred
offset of +22 and +12.

And not trying to be a smart a**, there are no spacers for now that makes
the wheel and rotor looks like there's no spacer due to I'm assuming
weight reasons. What I've done is by installing Stillen's 1pc rotor that is zinc coated
making it unnoticeable.

Now, there are a lot of factors to be considered still, with the setup I have
the wheels sit flush by the fender and I was able to rock wide tires, 265/35/19
and 305/30/19, and still stay on OEM camber settings.

Enough talk, here are some pics of mine:











A drop would finalize the look of the rear.

Mine isnt a Nismo, but I will be installing my Swift's and 20mm spacers all around with rear camber kit w/toe bolts this month. I want to be as close to factory spec as possible. I am not going super aggressive like putting 305's in the back so I it will not rub just like fuct stated. I know guys are running this setup with 285's in the rear no issue. Some are even doing 20/25 although I am not sure how close to spec they are in the rear to not rub. I will report back once my install is done and get it aligned to any issues I may encounter.

Ahh my apologies. I am no help here. Yea I am on just the sport Rays. I am just amped up to get my springs finally installed. Although I do want to get a set of the '13 Nismo wheels so this will be good to know if I go that route.
