Dang, I left too many bread crumbs! Yes, I bought some Spec-V wheels. I was looking for a set of the Nismo 5-spoke but they are discontinued. I kept my eye open for a set of Spec-V and bought that set when they popped up. I'll throw up pictures this weekend if I can get 'em on to see how they fit.

I have them on my versa and you will have to run spacer up front as it doesn't clear the caliper :)

Here is a quick pic taken from the iphone, just don't mind the front fender, a freaking moron backed on me today.
And I am running 5mm Spacer up front and are planning to do the same in the back.

with a 5mm, you are running the OEM studs, right? What lugnuts are you using? What tires are you running (size and brand)? Do you have lowering springs?

Sorry for all the questions, but you have answers to all my questions.

- I am using some lock nut that I bought but you can use your OEM studs (You will have to use a normal socket and not the impact socket as it won't fit in the hole)
- The wheels came with TOYO T1R 215/45/17 but the real size should be 205/45/17 so I am expecting my speedo to be a little bit off, but frankly it won't change anything as I am only throwing my car in curve.
- And I do have lowering spring which are the Eibach kit.

Thanks for the info. I will look for a set of 5mm shims for front and rear then. I was looking at a set of "tuner" lugnuts at Wal-Mart of all places for $20. I am going to run Continental ExtremeContact tires this summer when my OEM 15" wear out.

215's are closer to stock than 205's.

tires size really depends on what you plan to do with your car:
205's possibly good for a lot of city driving???
215's are a good general size
225's (slighty taller and wider) are good for the occational spirited driving or autox (<--this is what i have, i would recomend them)
245/40's if you want to do alot of autox, but not suggested for a 7 inch wheel

The continental engineer I have had conversations with suggested a 205 for the Versa with 7" wide wheels (at least for the Conti EC)
