Any issue with spacers?

Planning on getting 5 or 10mm spacers and I was wondering if anyone has had any issue with their spacers? Thanks.

Go wider. 15-20 in front 25 rear. I think if you go anymore pending on your drop you can rub not sure. But def go wider. I believe there is something up w the ichiba v1's vibration or something I forget do a search.

Why would I rub if I go wider? I've heard bad stories about ichiba's spacers thats why I made this thread.

We've had a lot of our customers run with H&R spacers vs. Ichiba's.. and do stock them. A cheap and simple upgrade to flush the wheels out, give a wider stance, and H&R does build a quality spacer.

Available in a extended wheel stud (DRS) or bolt on (DRM) configuration for various sizes.

15-20mm spacers or dont bother. Make sure they are hub centric and you will be fine.

Don't do spacers, they vibrate. A 5mm spacer will not be hubcentric. You will have to use the stock hub ring which is not long enough to completely set the wheel. If you are using a spacer you must use a 10+mm spacer that has it's own hub center built in. Then you should be good to go. But spacers still suck.

are you referring to the back/front or both? I wanted to do all four wheels as flush as possible. I'm lowered on the eibachs with the 18" stocks (g37x). thanks

Just do 15mm all around. By the way, since we got this spacer thread. With the 245/40/19 tires and 275/35/19 with eibach drop on the G37S, I know i will not rub. The question is is i put on 15mm all around, will I rub? I'm sure somebody has this set up, your help is greatly appreciate it! Doenst HR and Ichiba2 both have centric rings, why does the ichiba vibrate, while the HR doesnt, thought I ask?
