Does anyone make good quality hub centric wheel spacers for the NX? I'd like to get some 10-15mm ones for my Wife's NX to just widen the stance a bit.
I got 8prince 15mm spacers (front) and 11mm Project Kics (rear) for my RC F. Both top quality brands made in Japan. Either would work for the NX as well since it's the same bore and and bolt pattern.
Where do the factory studs end up? Would they not stick out past the face of the spacer? I have 10 and 15mm spacers on my Audi, but they came with new longer studs, and are the type that thread into the hub. I'm a bit confused.

So I took some measurements and if you want spacers on the NX, you're good with 15mm (or wider) from a fitment standpoint.
So how it works...
- The OEM studs that protrude from the spacers fit into the pockets of the NX' wheels. (See pic below)
- The depth of the pocket is 12 mm. (Pic below)
- The OEM stud protrudes 25 mm from the face of the rotor (pic below shown for my past IS - doublecheck and measure the NX's but should be the same like the RC F if memory serves me)
- So basic math dictates that a 15mm spacer will allow proper clearance of the OEM wheels over the OEM studs (25mm - 15mm = 10mm OEM stud protrusion which will fit into the 12mm pocket in the OEM wheel)
- Wheels bolt onto the spacer's studs while OEM studs protrude into the wheels pockets.
- If you want an 10-11mm bolt-on spacer, you will need to grind off the OEM bolts about 2-3mm for clearance on the OEM wheels.

Is there a distributor in Ontario? I'm looking for spacers for the 3is
Wheel spacers for the NX?
OEM studs go into the holes and get bolted on by the nuts included with the spacers.
