I'm using bolt on wheel spacers in the front of my car and so far so good. With stock length stud I wouldn't put on larger than a 7mm spacer.

take a look in the member gallery. If those aren't good enough I can take some pics the next time I was my car.

Get longer wheel studs!! Everything Nissan should have them!

From what I understand, 5mm will cause the studs to be too short on most Nissans!

Yeah the stock wheel studs are poop. I may have to get some for my SSR's just because of the way the wheels are designed

I'm running the 20mm wheel spacers on 18x7.5 +42mm wheels. BTW the H&R Spacers come with studs. Heres some pics:

How long have you had the 20mm on for?

Also, be careful where you get your car inspected! I don't know about DE(i think thats where you live?!) but here in PA, wheel spacers are illegal. Many shops don't care, but just a heads up!

H&R spacers are the way to go. They are application specific and are machined to match the centerbore of the hub/wheel and have an extended center so the wheel can be aligned on it. I have some cheap *** spacers that don't do that. My car started to shake going over 80 due to the imbalance. Anyways, long story short, if you have to use spacers, H&R's are the ones. And you shouldnt need new studs for 5mm. anything over that and you will for sure.

you might want to get your car aligned afterwards , but I was refering to the spacer and wheel aligning with the hub center. The H&R spacers are machined to keep everything on center in relation the hub, where cheaper spacers do not.

wheel spacers are perfecty fine. not dangerous at all. you dont have to get an alignment.

Haha. Delaware doesn't care about that stuff, they just care about all your lights working/being dot legal and passing emissions.
