I'm going to have to space out my front wheels to clear my brakes. 8-10mm should do the trick, and I'm wondering if you lot have any recommendations. If I have to get longer bolts as well - how long are the OE bolts?

In my experience, I've got ultralite bolts, they can handle that amount of spacing. In my understanding, they are the same length. I'm running 10mm on mine, with plenty of thread. I've done a sprint event and Castle Combe with it like that, so happy with the stability.
Hope this helps?!

I really just had the Nismo bolts on my candidate list, so thanks.In my experience, I've got ultralite bolts, they can handle that amount of spacing. In my understanding, they are the same length.

What kind of spacer do you use? I've looked at H&R and Eibach, but they seem to only have 5 or 15mm versions that are suitable for the R.

I have 10mm Eibach spacers and longer studs.
Bought them as a kit.
You will not be fit 10mm without changing the studs as they are too short and the thread does not protrude through the wheel nut.
Would give the part number of the kit but I'm out of the counrty at the moment until August and paperwork is at home...

I found the info from another thread that I posted on:
part number Pro-Spacer 10mm, 100/4 59 center part number 90-6-10-010 (Eibach spacerkit = spacers and studs). Not the cheapest but great quality.
I got the kit from here... www.performancealloys.com

+1 rep. Thanks! I will send them an email!
Spacers and bolts in particular isn't an area where I really want to save money.

Got a call from performance alloys, and the spacers should be on the way, knurls and all! Thanks!

It's because Performance Alloys sent me an email stating that the studs where knurled. My limited english vocabulary didn't know what to make of "knurled", so I sent Braveheart a PM.
Since I haven't heard the word before, it did sound naughty. "I'd like to give her a good knurling."
