Some questions about wheel spacers...

So after lowering my car my wheels kind of look sunken and now i want to use some spacers to bring it flush again. The thing is, i have to use hubcentric spacer ring things with my wheels so I don't really know what kind of spacers to get. I have some TSW wheels.
Also, are spacers even safe to use for spirited driving? and what's a good brand to go with?

If you already have your hub adapter rings they'll work fine w/ hubcentric spacers. The hubcentric spacers have the same OD as your Infiniti axle hub.

Look at B2 Autodesign spacers, if you like what you see ask for Charles and mention myG37.com for best deals.

They're safe as long as you install them properly~clean your hubs well w/ a wire brush, torque to 80 ft. lbs, recheck torque after 100 miles, then recheck every oil change. Only use a 6pt socket on those spacer nuts, they round off very easy if you use a 12 pt socket.

Ok, so i haven't actually measured how wide of a spacer i need but i think a 15mm will do.
So this should work?

And my hubcentric ring will just go right over the lip and that'll be OK?

Also, are H&R spacers any good? Found these posted over in the marketplace

15mm in the back and 20mm in the front is what I have read on here to be recommended. I guess the fronts tuck in more. This is what I have and the wheels are nice and flush. It looks perfect. Not like one of those mexican trucks with the wheels sticking out a foot past the wheel wheel.

Yeah, i measured 15mm to make the rear almost perfectly flush. Didn't measure the front yet but 20mm sounds about right.
