Ok cool. Thanks. Would you get the same size for both front and rear (i.e. 15mm) ?? Or do u need different spacing for the rear and different for the front?

same size should be fine. the wheels are already staggered.

The wheels on the Nismo Z are the same as the '06-07 Rays and I made a thread about running spacers on them.

Ok... Here's a really dumb question (on my part), but why put spacers on the car? I understand why people do it but can you fit wider tires on the Nismo rims? and if so does it that take away from the performance that the car is engineered for? I'm just trying to understand the point.

Unless you plan on making your Nismo a widebody Now that would be sick

I have been wanting to do that for some time now but am just unsure of what size to get. It looks like the 15mm would be safe but I'd really like to see it done first to get an idea.
