Wrong fitment

Well, i purchased a pair of niche m157 flow form wheels. They are 20x10 +40 all around. when i spoke to niche i kept telling them i had the sport brakes. they said that the 20x10 will fit. now that got them, the spokes kit my calipers on the front but fit in the rear. idk what to do now .. should i just buy spacers for the front, and also for the back to compensate for the front? if so what size spacers should i get??

Front spacers only, but you'll need to see how much clearence you need. We can't guess what you need...

My guess is 15mm spacers.

What you should do is one of three things~
1)Use this template on the backside of your wheel to determine how much spacer you'll need~
https://conceptzperformance.com/imag...nttemplate.pdf

2)Use a few stacked flat washers on three of your 5 wheel lugs and gently place wheel onto hub and verify brake clearance when wheel is snugged up. I'd start w/ about 1/2" worth of stacked flat washers and if that clears see how much room you have between spokes and caliper. If you can go less than 1/2" and still have at least 2mm clearance everywhere on the wheel then just measure how thick the stack is and get the approximate spacer to match that stack. I would put a couple strips of painters tape over your caliper to keep it from getting nicked up when test fitting. If you need more than a 1/2" then you might want to consider option 3 since your front wheel probably will now be too far out for your liking (maybe)

3)Contact Niche and see if they will agree to accept a full return on the wheels since this was based on information they gave you.

G/L and keep us posted, those are some nice looking wheels, hope you can get them fitted up OK.
And I'd not worry about any rear spacers right now, but eventually if you end up needing to space your fronts then more than likely you'll want spacers out back. A setup with rear wheels tucked more than fronts won't look right.

You should probably just sell these to me since they don't fit lol.. But seriously, if u need to get rid of these let me know.. I was going with this set up as well and I don't have big brake kit...

Curious to see what they're sending you, it shows only a 10" +40 in the Infiniti lug pattern, are they sending you a narrower rim w/ a less positive offset or are they going to do a custom cut for a new 10" rim?
BTW, really nice looking wheels going by those latest pics, hope it all works out for you.

yeah they are sending me a staggered set up… 20x8.5 in the front but with the 20x10 in the rear… the front wheels are a 25+ offset and they confirmed that i will fit.. I'm kinda going based off this 370z… it has 20x8.5 f and 20x10.5 in the rear

Thanks for clarifying, too bad the 10" square setup wouldn't clear, that extra concavity in those wheels is nice! Looking forward to pics when you get it together.
BTW, did you ever verify how much spacing you would have needed to clear the brakes w/ the 10" +40s? That would be some useful info if you have it.

Thank you ! I should be getting them sometime next week and I'll share some pics and .. Nope I wish .. I couldn't really get anyone to clarify the spacing I needed
