Would i be able to fit 25mm H&R wheel spacers? Does anybody know if i will rub with these spacers? Also, if i did buy these spacers from H&R, will it come with the new bolts? Is anybody running these 25mm spacers? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry Man, I'm not sure if it will rub or not. My 20mm seemed close in the rear. And yes, 15mm and up come with new bolts. Good luck.

uhh...what does getting longer studs have anything to do with my question? I asked if a 25mm spacer will rub...by the way, the 25mm have built in studs on them.

25mm is approximately an inch. Measure the distance (depth) between where the tire ends and the fender starts. If it's less than an inch then you *might* rub.

I was just warning you that you should get loger studs if you get 25mm spacers. Not all spacers come with built in studs. Post a picture of your spacers if you got them.

yea, but like i said, the 25mm spacers have new studs built into them. H&R makes an adapter where u just take ur wheel off, put the spacer on, bolt it down and built onto it are new studs where u put ur wheels on and bolt on the wheels. Anyways, anybody running the H&R DRM series spacer?

For your application Geseke, I would suggest 20mm, which means you'll have to use longer studs as well

I say if you are using anything thicker than 5mm, get longer studs. Better to be safe than sorry.

(B13) Sentra 1991-1994 - front and rear axle
(B14) Sentra 1995-1999 - front and rear axle
All Nissans with solid rear axle
That would be us no?
