Spacer Question

I know this has been discussed many times before and i've tried to do my fare share of searching on this topic but in the midst of my dental school boards and life in general i've been getting a little lost so i thought i'd ask a few questions i had

I've got a 2010 G37 coupe dropped on eibach springs, i wanted some spacers

i've seen the ichiba type 2 and H & R are the two most popular and for me i'm gonna go with H & R. . I dont wanna change anything else, i want to use stock everything, so what spacers should i get? I'm thinking 15 mm all around because i dont wanna rub. And can I do the install myself or should i get it professionally done? Thanks!

Also if anyone knows a great exterior detail shop in Socal... my Black G has its fair share of swirl marks and scratches due to birds and people who uninvitingly touch my car. i'm sure my ARK exhaust system doesnt help. people keep coming up to it and asking what it is. Why do you need to touch my car when asking me !?! Anyways..

Appreciate the help.

Did not know the G coupe is so exotic in Socal LOL! Are you in Beverly Hills or what that the Bentley owners don't know what an Infiniti is??

But your spacer question, I would suggest you take out a ruler and see how much you can push the wheels out. I think this is a more accurate way because spring drops are YMMV sometimes. Then you need to decide if you want to use the direct bolt on or replace with longer studs. Direct bolt on will be super simple while replacing studs will require some elbow grease. Also may I suggest Eibach spacers I personally would look into Eibach/H&R before going to Ichiba.

I did the measurements and now i know i can go with 15 mm all around but am not sure if to go with DRS or DRM or hubcentric. I know DRS requires doing something to the stock studs. I definitely dont wanna mess with that. So hubcentric or DRM? Sorry if this all sounds really noob and i do appreciate all the help. Thanks everyone

Both DRS & DRM are hubcentric. M is direct easy bolt on while S require replacing with new and longer studs.
