Think twice before going with 25mm. There is a pic on here somewhere and it looked not to good.

WOW widdles, your car is very nice! I have platinum graphite, never taught how nice it looks with the wheels that color, and with 20mm spacers. What tint percentage do you have? Do you have cambers and all that stuff, or just eibach and are your tires original size. I dont have the tires like you do. I have the original tire sizes. Somebody...humm lets see GT racing said that with 15mm, his tires stick out of the fender, he must have different tire sizes. So with 15mm definately no rubbing with eibach, no cambers, and with 20mm some possible rubbing with eibach, no cambers with all the original tire sizes from potenza. By the way BLACKJACK how much did you pay for your tints? Thanks.

I plan buying the ibicha bolt on spacers, they come already with hub centric ring, if im not mistaking, correct?

BUMP

The vert has a wider track in the back so I'm thinking it would be fine with the stockies.

They push the wheel further out from the body of the car mostly for looks and handling. Some more info here

Go out and measure and make sure as +1" is a lot. Take a 1" piece of styrofoam and tack it on, push it around to see where you are going to potentially rub, etc. Better than guessing and wishing you had gone with something smaller.

Good tip. The rear won't be dropped in my case just yet until there are rear springs or coils made for the vert.

Oh....without a drop, pushing the wheels to the edge can look funny. At least it does to me. But if you go with 15-25mm bolt-on, then they are easy to take off if you decide to wait until you get some springs/coils.

anyone have pics of the person with 25mm?
I'm looking to do this with my g 20 front and 25 rear perhaps? I'm running tanabe coils and Toyo T1R's 275 in the rear.. Or is safe bet go 20 all around ?
Someone mentioned you don't need an alignment after putting spacers? Really?

BUMP BUMP.

With 15mm around and the 245/40 and 275/35 with eibach pro, will that cause any rubbing issues or just stick it safe with the original tire sizes of 245/45 225/40+15mm all around. By the way, how much exactly does having bigger shoes impact your MPG, not thats a big deal, but kinda curious? If not getting the bigger shoes, and just sticking to the 15mm with eibach, will that have an impact on MPG?

I have 245F/275R and I am running 20MM in the back and 15MM in the front. The wheels fit perfectly flush and I haven't experienced any rubbing sense I installed them. Check out my thread for pics (page 3): https://www.myg37.com/forums/wheels-...-woohoooo.html

Nice pictures. So so far no rubbing WOW! I was reading and from all the search, I was leaning to 15mm ALL around to keep it safe, no cutting fenders etc. As well as keeping the orignial tire sizes. Does anybody have any pictures with 15mm all around with original tire sizes and if possible with the 245/40 275/35. BUMP BUMP...

Question regarding wheel spacers and g35 h techs

Hi everyone, sorry for the thread revival, but I've been searching and have had no luck finding out an answer. I just recently purchased a g37, and was planning on lowering it with g35 h techs and getting 20mm spacers all around. Would there be any issues or rubbing or camber? On my previous g35, I ran 350z htechs and 27mm around was fine. Would the same be for my g37?
