funny this thread was brought up....my friend with the 2003 spec v told me when i sold my car he would give me his spec v rims to put on it if he could have my rims...not a fair trade in my opinion.

i can atest that they will fit if u have a four lug. i have them on mine and they fit with no camber issues or any other issues. despite the horrendous 47mm offset, no issues. goes to show that factory rims rule. lol. unless u have volk or some other lovely rim. o ya i have an s13. but i have never seen them on a s14. good luck finding them tho cuz nissan changed the spec v rims and those rims are no longer in production. the new spec v rims suck balls IMO but if you look em up, you'll see what im talking about

The new spec v rims are 6 spoke. Not 5, though they are nowhere near as nice as the 2003 models.

those are not the new spec v rims. those are the standard 15" rims on the sentra gxe and se. i think that the new ones look like an ugly version of the maxima rims.

Yeah I have them on my S13, they look good but the offset is horrible. I wouldnt reccomend going with them. You'll regret it down the road. What is everyones opinion on spacers? I hear very bad things about them.

what do you need spacers for goodfelladavey? the suspension isnt rubbing on anything.

People have told me to put spacers on so they dont look so sunken in.

well spacers can harm your suspension. they wont always do damage but i hear that if you can avoid them, to do so. as for the sunken in thing, i dont really think they look sunken in. the rim was built to have a bent in kinda look which is why it looks good. if it was flat like a chrome rim, im sure u wouldnt have put em on ur car and neither would have i. have you lowered ur car tho? im about to lower mine so hopefully the offset doesnt come back to bite me in the but.

Yeah thats the thing tho, I have just the SE-R rims not the Spec-V. I can imagine the Spec-V rims look much nicer. My car isnt lowered... yet. Everyone says to stay away from spacers, so I wasnt planning on getting them, I am just going to look for new rims in the spring.
