so instead of getting a set of used 19" sport wheels, or even some aftermarket ones, I thought I'd get my stock 18s painted. most people here are on vossens/volks/stock 19s so i wanted something a little different but custom. I have a new theme in mind for the g, and hopefully it comes out right!
Im upgrading to the bbk that the sport g's have, the akebono ones. Ive heard they dont clear the stock 18" wheels. Anyone know if its possible to clear the bbk with spacers? and if so, how large of spacers would i need?

before i get flamed for not using the search, ill save my *** by saying ive been searching for over a month on how large spacers i would need. Now that im actually going ahead with this and since I havent found an answer, I thought I would ask.

thanks!

 

I'm on stock 18" with the BBK. I assume you could run the sedan S wheels.

 

How much do they rum for?

 

Im trying to keep my stock 18s. I guess I didnt make that clear. I was wondering what size spacers (if possible) I would need to have the bbk clear the wheels.

new, a vendor on here is selling them for like $1.6k. I would have gotten them straight from Infiniti with the S package if only they had the xS coupe in 2010 lol

 

Damn that's expensive. Ya I would have gotten it with an S package which was about $2000 more than loaded journey but I guess too late now.

 

youll need 15mm spacers on the front to clear with about 1-2mm extra space clearing the caliper. the rears are fine w/o spacers. i had vibration problems with spacers + 18' stock wheels though, so be careful

 

thanks for the info! very appreciated.. do you think it was the type of spacers you used that caused the vibrations?

 

^definitely. Either it wasn't hubcentric or it wasn't torqued down correctly.

 

What brand spacers were you running so OP can know to steer clear of them?

 

yes that would be very helpful!

 

uhh i forget the brands lol the first one was i think Ichiba 15mm V2 (is that the name??) and the other one was H&R 15mm V1 (no built in studs).. that was a pain in the as$ to facking install. V2 built in studs are the best imo.. but i had vibrations w/ both so idk, GL to you though
