Weeks ago I posted asking for help in choosing some wheel spacers for my set up. After all the input I received (thanks to all) and my own measurements I decided on getting the bellow:
-H&R 5mm Spacers for the Front
-H&R 10mm Spacers for the Rear
*Rims I currently have on - 5zigen Fn01rc (18 x 8.5 with 38 offset)
Now on to the pics:
The FRONT
The REAR
Others:
Overall I like the way they look. However, I feel I should probably go with 15mm or maybe 20mm in the rear and it would look much better. I'm just going to ride with these for a while and upgrade later.
i have 5mm front and back, seems to me the studs are a little short for me. How did you feel after installing the 10mm in back? enough thread left for the lugnut to bite onto?

H&R spacers typically come w/ longer studs ... even for 5mm.

Its feels fine. The dust caps had to be removed in the rear.

Yea even for the 5mm in the front the studs were changed.
Looks good man.I'm running 5mm in the front and 15mm in the back.I changed the studs in the back only.I sorta wish that I went 20mm in the back though.

Looks great, IMO, don't think you need the rears out any further, maybe 15 mms would still work, but that's it.
And can you add your pics and specs to this thread please? I think it'll be useful information.

Didn't a few of us already give you the answer to this in your thread in Wheels and Tires? Most spacers already come with studs, if not, you can get them from the manufacturers of the spacers themselves like H&R, Eibach, Ichiba, etc. ARP also makes good, strong, extended studs.
I would say 15mm would be good..possibly without rubbing too. But now that I have this on I want to go wider like 20mm and roll my fenders lol. But that's next time cuz it was a pita to knock the studs out.
In order to be flush on a 5th gen without having to go staggered, you will need spacers that will effectively make your rear offset 20 -25mm, and your fronts about 30mm. Assuming 8 - 8.5" width.

haaaaa thank you guys the reason I'm asking its because i have 18 /8.5 and i want to buy 18/9.5 for the back but the guy in the rim place said that its to dangerous to put spacers but i see that all you guys have them. so I'm going to go and buy spacers too.

Hmm...why not buy the rims you want with the right offsets instead of getting spacers? 18 x 9.5 should be flush in the rear...what offsets?
There is a thread that Puppetmaster posted last time that was helpfull in figuring all that out.
yeah thats what i want, staggered is when the rim in the back is fatter than the front right? if so i want mine to be staggered!!!! thank you guys for all the help. so if i get the 18/9.5 in the back i dont need spacers?

yeah i got answers from everyone, but its pretty hard to get stuff without a credit card online, iam trying local places and they all seem clueless, I guess ill have to get a prepaid Credit Card to help me ^^, all the auto parts stores and shops here that been here 60+ years and they just cant help me get a longer stud with the same thread pitch and shank...
i cant wait to move to Pittsburgh next month!

To the OP, your car looks nice, like the two-tone black and silver paint scheme.
FWIW, I have a set of 5mm spacers if anybodys needing a set. I wanted to put them on the rear, but after the install, didn't notice a difference. I'll be going to either 15 or 20mm after I sell the Altima.
With the the 5mm in the back, when i hit a big dip in the freeway, my back tire rubs the fender. So 5 is all i could go for me. Putting on spacers puts more stress on the bearings, to what degree, i don't know. Has not been a problem for me.

my aftermarket threads are acting like most aftermarket things
3rd time I took wheels on/off I had thread problems on a couple of the studs....
I am just waiting for the time I cant even get a nut on there.
RIP 95 Maxi...Gone but never forgotten.
I'm getting rusty here ....
