What size spacers?

I have a G37S sedan, stock 18" sport wheels, and will be installing Eibach pro springs. What's the widest spacer I can get? If anyone has a pic of a setup like this, I'd love to see it.

Thanks for the reply. Really nice ride. Do you have any rubbing? Any vibration from the spacers?

Thanks!

No rubbing and no vibration thanks to the crush ring mod.

Awesome. I have a big favor to ask you(or anyone with similar spring setup). Could you measure your ground clearance on your front bumber(from the bottom of that rubber strip to the ground)? I need to see if I'm going to scrape coming in and out of my driveway. Much thanks.

Thats not a good test...Besides that rubber piece is useless IMO, don't worry too much if it gets hit.

Your approach is always going to be different...unless you always go in head first.

Park your car in a regualr parking spot, measure the distance from the black rubber piece to the top of the parking stump. Mine is about .25 over it.

Eibachs lower the car 1.2 or 1.5 in the front, I forget.

When you are lowered you should always approach driveways, speed bumps or humps and parking spaces with caution.

Sorry to bump up an old thread, but I found this in a search....

I will search for the crush ring mod, but why would spacers cause a vibration if they are made to fit the Infiniti hub size? Also, there seems to be two types of spacers. One that comes with longer bolts to replace stock bolts and one that bolts onto the hub and then has bolts for the wheels. Any difference in the two types? Installation of the first is easier I guess. Thanks.

Doesnt the ichiba v2 come with centric rings already. what is crush ring mod? And after reading some posts, isnt it true that with stock 19" wheels there is no problem with vibrations etc. I never figure out why, is this the exception? Any info?

Installation of the second is easier from what I've heard. As far as Ichiba goes Type I spacers are not hubcentric and require the ring while type II is hubcentric and pretty much plug & play. I should be getting mine soon
