i have 18's on my car, no rubbing...same size tire as u....maybe a 3/4" spacer would do

225 is crazy wide i dont think that is even useful id say go slimer and also lower profile cuz i got 15's and 50mm profile so its probly throwin your speedo off too
edit: if your lower the spacers may make you rub the fender with tires that wide. myne are damn close to the edge of the fender and they are 205's so just take all this into consideration. cause and effect my man if you do something to remidy one problem another may come up. i say suck up your pride and go with a smaller tire

The studs are not long enough to use a 1/2 inch spacer safely. You can get longer studs, though. Are you sure that the tire won't rub on the fender with a 1/2 inch spacer?

hey guys well thanks .yea well im not into racing im into more like lowrider. i dont want to get hate or ragged on. but i like the sentras. also i got these rims with 225/40/zr18 inch tires on it and they are good.the rear ones dont rub nuthing. but the front tires the side is literally right on top of the cup that holds the spring. well thanks anyways. i just bought some spacers they are 4 lug universal and they are 5/16 . dont want them to thick because then my wheels will pop out and might need longer studs. well again thanks for the replys

5/16th" or 8mm is the biggest spacer you can safely put on stock lugs

unless of course you're talking about the type that come with thier own lugs like these

but im not sure id trust those for a daily driver

nismo has the longer wheel studs that should fit the spacer with no problem
and its much safer too
