Default Spacers with Stock NISMO wheels?

Anyone running spacers with their stock wheels? What width do you recommend? Are extended lugs necessary? I honestly don't know alot about them, but I am wanting to get a more aggressive stance. And ofcourse Pics would be great! Thanks!

I've seen a few members on here with 20-25mm spacers on their stock GT or Nismo wheels. I think it looks great!!

You don't need extended lugs if you buy spacers with new lugs already installed

I've had great luck with CZP spacers from Concept Z Performance, check'em out in the vendor section wheel/tire section.

theres a ton of info on this on the forums.

that said, spacers are a pretty straightforward item, most of the top manufacturers quality is going to be similar. I've had excellent luck with both czp and ichiba.

Thanks again for the help guys. I posted on the sticky on the other wheel/tire forum. I just posted on here because there was nothing listed about the NISMO wheels. Looks like I am gonna go with 20mm up front and 25mm in the rear.

Yeah, I've seen a few guys on here with 20mm in front and 25mm in the rear. I'm not trying for the ultra aggressive look so I opted for 15mm & 20mm. I just ordered them, should have them by Saturday.

Any reason why you would run slightly wider spacers in the rear?

I do 25mm on all four corners. They look perfect.

Sorry no pics, snow rims/tires are on now.

Any rubbing issues with the NISMO wheels? Do the front's and rears look about even? Most on here go with 5mm wider on the rear so that's what I was going to opt with but I guess with the wide rear NISMO wheel, it shouldn't be necessary.

They look even. I could show you in March. The fronts would look too shallow without the 25mm.

No rubbing either.

I have 15 mm at front and is great.
I tried the 15 mm on rears and they might rub I'm not taking chances.

I'm only getting my rear fenders rolled, also personal preference. I've seen what 25mm look like with oem nismo's and I want a slightly less aggressive look.

How wide of spacers can you apply without having rubbing/clearance issues with stock suspension on the Nismo?
