H&R Wheel Spacers

There is the 15mm and the 20mm.

The 20mm is very tempting since the rear wheels are SO tucked in there. Really dont know why Nissan made it this way, it looks ridiclous.

I am just affraid its going to rub when I'll have some people sitting on the back especially if I am lowered too with the H&R springs.

Does anyone have pictures of 15mm or 20mm?

The price difference is like 6 dollars so thats not a problem.

Good luck trying to find 20mm spacers. I ordered them almost 3 months ago and they still haven't come in.

Thanks Fezzik for the picture/write-up

Man, these 20mm do a big difference in looks. How about performence in turns? any better? did the crappy radius of our maxima change a little? is it worse?

If I have 235/45 on a 17" stock rims with H&R/KYB GR-2. Can I put the 20mm and not rub? or I'll have to go with the 15mm so I wouldnt have to roll the fender?

How do you roll your fender and how about how much is it and where can I do it if I want to get it done?

Thanks a lot guys
Sorry for all the questions

You should be fine with the 20mm spacers.

yeah, I looked at the car today and it looked fine to stick them out 2 cm.

Any other people who dont think differently?

Is there a cheaper place to get them online that someone knows?

i just finally got my 12.7mm's in and they look awesome compared to my 8mm's im dropped on jic's rather low, so i was kind of afraid 20mm's wouldnt clear right, they loo like thtey would, but then my fronts would seem to set in".

also the nismo studs are long enough, i could prob run a 30mm and still have treads

so the 15mm would probably be perfect with the drop and the 235/45

I think it will match perfectly with the fronts if I go with the 15mm

I dont know. For me i did a 1.75" drop in the rear and i still think it needs a little more, but the fronts do need a 5 or 10mm spacer to look better.

20mm for the rear
10mm for the fronts

those measurements above should be ideal for wheels to sit flush to the fender without rubbing.

someone actually said that they could prolly squeeze another 5mm on their 20mm spacer for the rear. so i don't think you'll rub.

I had 20mm H&R spacers on the rears with 235/45/17 tires and the OEM TE rims (45 offset). I also had Maxspeed springs and had no problems with rubbing even with people sitting in the back seats. I also had 15mm H&R spacers up front with the same setup and had no problems.

i have 33mm spacers in the back and it causes rubbing on OEM rims. This is completely flush with the rear fenders.
