Thanks! Yeah they do deserve the rep they get. My buddy runs them on his GTR and he loves them as well.

I decided to order some 20mm for the front. I think it will make it look better and its the biggest H&R makes that actually replaces the studs. I will have one set of 15mm for sale once I swap them out if anybody is interested. Thanks

I really like my oem wheels . I have been considering the spacers as well but was thinking to do the 15mm all the way around if I dont swap them out for aftermarket .

Yeah 15mm all around is a good safe bet. That's why I did it at first, but I just think the front will look a lil better with the 20mm on the front so that's why I ordered the 20mm.

I know 2012+ have wider wheels from the factory as well so it could look a lil different than an 08-11. I thought about just doing the front springs too, but figured it was good to have the same spring rate all the way around and I paid for them already. I've always been an Eibach guy too, but having heard all the great things about Swift, I decided to spend the extra money and couldn't be happier.

Dang, looks good. Now I am getting the itch to do my car with the same setup again.

I installed yesterday Ichiba 20mm all around. Rubs when at decent speed I get a bump on the highway. But that can be fixed. Not rubbing while backing and making hard turn. I run Swift on front on 245/35/19, factory rear on 285/30/19 with no fender roll.

Pics later...

Mine don't vibrate at all. I have heard from a lot of people its better to get the ones with the extended studs vs the bolt on ones, so that's what I did.

Couple threads about the bolt on ones failing.

I have a set of H&R 15mm spacers for all four corners for sale. They are brand new unopened.

I installed the 20mm on the front last night and I have to admit it looks about perfect now. I will try and get a few pics sometime this week.

It may matter what tires you get as some are more square than others. For example I'm running a 275 Yokohama AD08 and when you look at the dimensions it's wider at the tread than the PSS in a 285. The section width is 10.7 on the AD08 vs. the 10.9 on the Michelin but at the tread the AD08 is 10.6" vs the Michelin's 10.2. Keep that in mind as well if you know what tires you'll be running. It may affect the overall setup you want to go for... just a thought.

I'm going to upgrade to a 275 tire in the rear and 245 in the front soon. Will I be alright with the 15mm in the rear and 20mm in the front with those tire sizes? Thanks
