So, with stock tires you can get by with 20mm spacers all-around is the way to go. Once my stock tires are dead, I want to put on 245/40 and 275/35, and am considering 1 of 3 options... what do you guys think?

1. 15mm all-around
2. 20mm all-around
3. 15mm front, 20mm rear

I have 15MM all around with the 245/275 combo.

Had 20MM all around but tires stuck out in the rear.

Should have gone option 4
20MM front, 15MM rear.
Yes I wrote that correctly, wider spacers in the front. Just like G37Sam, and Devildog37



.

Im on Michelin Pilot Super Sports, they run wide.

im on stock 18s stock tires eibach drop and option 3
you can look for my pictures under mediashare, i coudl take more pics if you want. personally, i woudl do 20s all around, but for some reason my brakes squeal alot more when i have 20s in the front versus 15s. coudlnt figure out why but i think its attributed to the OEM pads or warped rotors (i noticed that they start to get more glazed after i installed them). no one seems to have the same issue as me though...

A small, maybe insignificant benefit of having 10MM more track on the front wheels is, minimizing understeer.

Our G37s have a narrower front track already. Evening it out could help.

I'm sitting on Eibach's right now, but about a week ago I put 20" ASA rims on my car. Now I'm thinking about getting Tein S-tech's, maybe even something a touch lower. Can't do coilover's, though. My car throws me around enough lol.

just throwing it out there but be careful what spacers you get, I've heard of some of the cheaper ones causing wobbling/ vibration due to not being individually balanced at the factory...

where you running camber at all?? or was it set to factory, and did you have to cut brackets or roll fenders?

With eibachs camber kits aren't needed, with s tech its needed unless you wana flip the tires every few thousand. IMO if your going to lower it slam it!
Just be careful of big bumps and steep driveways. And spacers go 20mm all around and that should sit flush
i've got tein s-techs as well, but no camber correction. it's definitely recommended, and it's the next thing on my list of sh*@ to do. to me, i can barely notice the eibach drop unless i LOOK at it. the teins look great. i WAS running 225/35/19 245/35/19 originally, but have had to change my tires since (lowered in april, new *used* tires in august). waited 10 days before getting an alignment, and i have NO sound issue except going into my steep driveway.

keep away from anything slimmer than 40 and you shouldn't scrape too much @ all.
