20mm Spacer on 17" G37x? Swfit Spring Question!

So I installed my swfit springs on X 3 weeks ago.

It looks pretty good even though front looks more lowered than rear..
(I'm not sure why. is it because I have 17"? when I look at other people's post/pictures, they look balanced and normal... )

Since I got the 17" set, people mentioned me to get 20mm spacer sets.. Yes, it is tucked in and it does look little weird.

So I've been eye-shopping and end up with this one. I can't really find a H&R with studs..

What do you guys think?

Q1) Why is my X front and rear drop is different? not like other's X dropped with swft?
Q2) ichiba spacer.. are they good to get?

Thank you Myg37!

Edit1: Picture Updated.

I have two sets of H&R 20MM spacers with studs for sale. I used the spacers for 4500 miles so they are like new. Made in Germany too.

And I think it is just you. The rake looks pretty good to me.

Better a rake than a droopy bum. Truer words...

But you know, unless you're on a perfectly level piece of pavement, gap is an inconsistent thing. You're going to have variations, and best you can do is establish averages corner to corner.

And it isn't that they aren't settled... you only need a few minutes of driving in order for the springs to fit back snug into the top-seats, so you got that covered at 3 weeks.

G37X GraSdadow, I think you're fine, man. Poke those awful 17" wheels 15-to-20 mm from where they are, and it will look worlds better than before you started this project.

I have stock 18" rims and swift springs on my xS. I believe the offset and the tire width are the same as the 17". With 15mm front and 20mm back spacers it looks good. If you want hellaflush then get 20/25.

20mm spacers would be perfect for your setup. That drop looks so subtle and perfect on your sedan! Great work

I'm running 25mm H&R spacers on Swifts with the stock 18" wheels. It sits nice and flush agreed with the rake over saggy rear look you get with most other springs on the G Sedan
