Best Spacers size for Nismo with Swift Springs-Revised
 

From what I've researched on this forum having Swift springs on a Nismo with 19" stock Rays wheels and stock tires:

The general census is that if you want to be flush as possible to the fender, but if you want to still get the stock alignment, tires, wheels width, using Swift springs; Then you should have a spacer setup of 15mm-Front and 20mm-Rear or at least 15mm all around, Right?

But if you plan or prefer to have wider tires, you should only get 15mm front and back, to leave room for the bigger tire width and still get stock alignment, am I right guys?

I need suggestions from the Bro's on this great forum. :tup: Regarding the best Spacers setup for a 2012, Nismo: With stock tire size and stock wheels, but only lowered with Swift Spec-R Springs.



These are the common setups that I have read on this forum:
15mm-F and 15mm-R
15mm-F and 20mm-R
20mm-F and 20mm-R
20mm-F and 25mm-R

I know that part of this will depend on your taste and tire width also.

So my question is that if anyone on this forum has a similar setup; What Spacer Size should be best to be flush with the wheel opening, but without rubbing the insides when turning or over road bumps? :confused:

My Swift Springs are on their way and I want to install the spacers and the springs at the same time, but don’t what to have my tires to be poking out of the fender that it’s very noticeable.

I will really appreciate your help. Thanks! :driving:

General consensus for Nismo is 15mm all around.

Yep 15 all around. You need to do the H&R DRM with long studs also. The V2 style won't fit in the front.

im lowered on coils, but similar in height to the swifts. i went 15mm all around. the front rubs ever so slightly at 15mm so i wouldnt go more than that

I was on swifts 20mm on all four no rubbing for me with stock tire specs. Now I'm tucking 1/2 inch of tire front and rear on coils pretty damn low with 20mm still front and rear and fronts rub only on hard bumps going slow over bumps no rubbing. Also camber and toe kit in rear. But I would not go 25mm. I have some pics of the offset and setup on swifts in my albums hope that helped.
Cheers!!

Thanks evrybody!

everybody else, please feel free to post your experience with spacer size and swift springs, but on stock alignment specs.

your imput would be much appreciated, for me to make my decision.

I almost went 15mm in front and 20mm on the back. But now I am not sure if the back tires will rubb occacionaly with 20mm installed.

Thanks 370ZNISMO#704!

Any rubing on the back tires?

No but I'm sitting at -2.1 rear camber. A little off -1.7 Nismo spec.

The general census is that if you want to be flush as possible to the fender, but if you want to still get the stock alignment, tires, wheels width, using Swift springs; Then you should have a spacer setup of 15mm-Front and 20mm-Rear or at least 15mm all around, Right?

But if you plan or prefer to have wider tires in the future, then you should only get 15mm front and back, to leave room for the bigger tire width and still get stock alignment, am I right, or you think it should only be 15mm all around period, to have a better ride with the nismo specs? Thanks!

20mm for SoCal hella Hella flush style. ;)

I'm running 20mm on all four wheels, base 370Z, with NISMO tire specifications (245/40/19 & 285/35/19) on Swift springs. It's perfect, although I understand that the NISMO body is very different, it probably looks just as good or better on a NISMO. I have not touched my alignment, either.

the body isnt different when it comes to this issue. the wheels are wider.....

you mean DRS

H&R 15.0mm DRS Type TRAK+ Wheel Spacers 3065662 HR3065662 | STILLEN

Hey take it from me you need to go get a alignment your toe is way outta whack with the drop the swifts give and your gonna burn through your tires 50% faster in the rear then normall. Also your camber should be able to be corrected really close to spec I believe yours is -1.4 in the rear.

Would the 20mm bolt on spacers work with nismo wheels and stock ride height? I know the 15mm have to be stud replacement type right.
