I have 15mm spacers just installed tonight in fact. I thought it would be too much but it looks perfect actually. outside of wheel is just flush with the fender. of course that depends on what wheels you have but mine looks good.

What spacers do you have? The H&R's? If so, were the studs that were provided long enough? How hard is it to remove the stock wheel studs? Thanks,

Nathan

Nathan- Yes, the studs that comes with the H&R spacer kit should suffice. Knocking off stock wheel studs is a pain if you don't have the right tools. When replacing the stock studs with extended ones, you also want to be sure it is fitted in the wheelhub correctly and accurately. IMO, seek an experienced mechanic to replace your wheel studs so you won't deal with potential problems if the job is done half-assed.

No I made my own. I had to buy Nismo 60mm studs, they aren't cheap. Stock ones aren't hard to remove you just bang them out with a sledge hammer, but putting new ones in can be tough. If you have access to air tools its easy as pie, if not, you have to tap them in with a hammer as far as you can get em, then put a few washers on the stud and start tightening a lug nut down on it. It takes a while, but it works. I did 5 of them yesterday that way, took probably 30 minutes. Then I realized I could just use the air ratchet and had the other 5 done in about 5 minutes.

H&R in CA won't have any 15mm spacers for Maxima application to distribute until end of August. H&R doesn't even make 10mm spacer for Maximas

Email or PM me your contact # in case I need to get in touch with you.

Re: Wheel Spacers..

I use a 15mm spacer on the rear. The lug holes in my rear wheels were bored out to accomodate ET lugs. They actually sink into the wheel to get as much thread on the stud as possible. If I take the spacer off the lug nut almost threads down to the rotor.

I usually carry the H&R 5mm and 15mm spacers but H&R in CA won't have any 15mm spacers for Maxima application to distribute until end of August. H&R doesn't make 10mm spacer for Maximas
