Looks like the H&R's are the best bet. And I am going to measure out the front and rear to see what thickness to go. I do want them to be pretty flush front and rear. I like things to look balanced and even.



Thread for the lug bolt is 12 mm x 1.25 I just bought one yesterday at nissan. If they gave me the wrong one then I'll see my wheel flying by me later today.

yo, so i finally sucked it up and got some studs/nuts i'm about to put them in...

need spacers, maybe you guys can help me with my decision making process....

b14 dropped 1.5" maybe M.E. style rear mounts so should have an extra inch back there b13 front struts so should have an extra inch there as well.
tires at the moment are 195-55-15 on 15x7.5" wheels i think maybe 15x8.
i'm not afraid to do some work to the fenders

here's what i'm thinking, somewhere around 20mm in the rear and 15mm in the front will make it nice and even.

but going bigger in the front should help deture understeer so maybe i can switch them when need be....

anyone else running something similar?

Try some 225 or 245 series rubber first and then take a good look and decide what kind of a spacer you need. Unless you plan on sticking with 195s?!

Where did you pick them up?

tire will change but i gotta finish burning through these first...


edit, i could also just trade out the front to the rear and buy new front spacers later on


let's say i'm happy with everything where it is and i buy a 10mm wider tire i'd just drop 5mm of spacer off the rear by switching them out and buy a 5mm smaller spacer

so 20 rear goes to 15 and 15 front goes to 10


edit

installed 17mm front and 22mm rear pics when i get motivated no issues so far
