I'd just put them back on and measure exactly what you want. Depends how much you're dropped, if you're dropped pretty low in front and go flush you'll rub the underfender clips. Running a week without spacers is no big deal to make sure you get exactly the spacing you need IMO.

Depends how much you're dropped.....if you're staying dropped.

I have 20mm all around and I'm slightly tucked at -1.8 camber.

Again......bl said it best....just measure what you want then do the conversion to mm and you'll probably be able to get something close.

You're gonna get negative camber if you're dropped and have spacers...UNLESS you have aftermarket camber arms. It's unavoidable.

You still haven't said if you're dropped or not, that will make a huge difference.
It's easy to measure once you get your 18s on, just put a straight edge up your tire and measure the distance in mm from the inside of the straight edge to the inside of your fender well (with a couple mm for insurance).
If you've got a aggressive drop you might want to come in an additional 5mm in front to avoid hitting those bumper clips.

You don't want *excess* negative camber, but you will want to have some camber on there to achieve some type of performance out of the suspension. Anything within the specified range is good.

Remember, even at 0 static camber, when the suspension compresses, you will get camber.

If you are still looking for spacers send me a pm. I'll hook you up with a set. I need a few pics on a G37 with a set of our spacers.
