Spacers - stock wheels

Hi guys .. been a decade since my last post, most of you has forgotten me already lol

Ok wanna do spacers .. not sure what size to go for.

Lol^^ It has been awhile, Do you have the OEM split spoke 18s? 20mm all around should suffice but I believe some have gone 20/25 combo.

^ Yes captain .. OEM split spoke 18s.
That's good then .. I think 20mm all around will be just fine.

I have stock 18" wheels on my G37x coupe with Eibach springs and I put in 20mm front and 25mm rear and it looks perfect to me. Measure the differences and if the rears are tucked in a little more go with 25mm there.

^ Coupes are way different lol.. U need bigger in rears.
Anyways, what's the hub size in our cars? is it 66.2? That's the only size that HnR provides in 20 mm setup... Thought our cars are 66.1 or zero.. No?

more details, pictures of your vehicle which shows the wheels tucked in etc would help us help you. Sedan comes with few wheel options. Also are you on oem tire sizes? Are you lowered? If so how much? is alignment within oem specs?
example if you have -2 degrees of camber upfront you can run bigger spacers etc etc.

New to the forum
2008 G37 journey coup
Stock split 18" wheels.
Used the forum to sort out my Akebono upgrade! Thank you guys
Installed 20mm spacers all around. Would have gone 25 on the rears but could not find non-staggered style spacers over 20mm. (Don't trust the staggered)
Could not have wiggled any longer studs into the rear hubs without further disassembly due to e-break interference.
Anyway here's some pics...

Presto .. thx buddy, too many questions lol .. no issues man I can figure it out .. it's funny i kinda lost interest in the car a while ago when i got my 15 GTR Black Edition .. Tons of fun i had with my G n still enjoying it as a DD but i think i'm gonna put it up for sale very soon .. lemme know if anyone interested out there in Dubai .. i can let it go for a nice deal, car is faster than previous C63 AMG's n still pulls hard lol.


P.S Never had the chance to put your Quaif LSD btw
