I believe a 3 or 8mm spacer should fix his problem.

I would highly recommend that you don't purchace those metal spacers that you just slap on between your wheel and hub. They arn't safe being as how you are taking away material that your lug nut it's self threads onto.

I suggest you purchace new rims, or real spacers. For the price of the nismo lugs imo, you could purchace bolt on spacers in decent condition.

just run some washers on the damn thing, people in the 4x4 community have been doing it for ages. Only if money is an issue! Otherwise just get some 5mm spacers, i was running 5mm spacers up front for a while on stock studs at the track and hard driving, no problems

get a 15mm bolt on and call it a day. Your most likely going to need them anyway if you upgrade to coilovers

[shift_s14]

if you get anything bigger than 10mm, you need to get extended studs, so go to at the biggest if your not getting new studs

Never go more than 8mm on stock studs.

I plan to only run a 3mm spacer on my front wheels just to clear coilovers...

Oh and bolt on spacers are not available in smaller sizes.. so you'll have to use the small cheap ones you just throw in between the rotor and wheel. $8 at Autozone

A 5mm spacer will do, and is safe on stock studs.

Umm...dont run anything more than 5mm on stock studs. 8mm will work but eventually, youll screw it up the next time you take your wheels off and your strip atleast one stud.
