What spacers should I run with Eibach springs?

Just bought a set of pro kit lowering springs for my 08 G35xS and I'm a noob when it comes to wheel spacer types, differences, etc. Can someone point me in the right direction as to which brand and size to get to achieve flush-ness on these springs? Also where should i purchase them? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm going to be running the OEM 18" Sport "Duckfeet" wheels.

I'm using 20mm F and 25mm R on my X coupe, lowered on Eibach Pro. Those are 18" wheels.

Picture for demonstration

Thanks. That helps I'm thinking about going 20mm rear 15mm front. What brand spacers are those? Do they have to be hubcentric to fit? Also will the stock lug nuts still fit after install?

Not to fit, but it is better to avoid spacer fit issues.
Yes

Thanks. I found these and want to clarify if they will fit my car. I've read a lot of good things about ichiba.

From what I've learned recently, the spacers should be hub centric and either come with longer studs or have the studs built-in for something like a 20mm spacer. I don't believe the stock studs would be safe enough with 20mm spacers.

I just received my 20mm front, 25mm rear from B2 Auto Designs who's a forum supporter. Best price I could find on four spacers @ $220 for all four. They arrived today and I hope to put them on tomorrow. I'm not lowered on Eibachs though (IPL) and don't plan on doing so due to the less-than-stellar streets here in San Antonio. I know there's a mod here who runs 20mm front, 25mm rear with Eibachs just fine.

15-20mm would be a pretty safe bet. And +1 on B2AutoDesigns
