You can get better wheel fitment and you can run less camber to fit it.

Somebody's a little upset that not everyone runs proper size tires lol

Throwing a 15mm in the rear and a 5mm in the front for now, I'll re-stud later.

2 things.

First, it will be impossible to throw on a 15 mm spacer without re-studing.

Second, there's no reason to re-stud when you could get spacers with exisiting wheel studs. In fact, they are just as capable as re-studing. Less time. Less money. Less hassle.

This what you're going for?

I'm putting on a 15mm bolt-on-spacer on the rear... it has built in studs. Then putting a 5mm slip on spacer on the front(you can get away with it without re-studding). My rear wheels have gaps and my fronts do not, simple. My frame does not drag on the ground and I'm obviously not running -15 degrees of camber or more clearly, so my answer would be no.

I think you're taking his post a little too seriously OP.

But anyways, please don't get 15mm slip-on spacers... most say that 5mm is the most slip-ons should be considered for.

A better option would be hub-centric spacers with their own studs

Like these: http://www.motorsport-tech.com/adaptec/car/nissan_s

Not trying to tell you what to do OP but many would agree that this would be the best way to go.

Maybe but I just don't like his disrespect towards me, I edited it anyways. I'm getting a 15mm bolt-on-spacer and 5mm slip on. I'm ordering them from H&R

You're gonna have to run -15 degrees of Camber with a 11" wheel +5 offset combo if you want it lowered at a decent amount. I'm assuming with a 255 on an 11" rim you're not gonna want any fender gap. Ipso facto, my video.
