Question Spacer size help!?

Alright so im running a stock 2005 G35 and im thinking of getting a drop and most likely running TanabeDFs. I also want to get spacers with the drop because i want that clean flush look. I was thinking of getting 25mm in the front and 20mm for the back. What do u guys think? any other ideas or suggestions?

I assume that you are running oem 19s. Do 25 front and back, you will need to roll fenders. Dont do 25 front and 20 back, it will look weird.

my bad i meant 25mm back and 20mm to the front. 25mm is sounding pretty good though and ive been doing a lot of research and thats what people seem to do a lot.

As long as you are rolling fenders you might as well go 25mm front. It will be more flush. Thats what im running.

I never had to roll my fronts dropped on z-htechs with 25mm spacers. I had 25mm all around and I liked them, although I would do 25f/30r if I did it again.

okay so ur on stock tire sizes. Are you planning to keep the same sizes? If you drop your car I'd recommend going down to a more low profile tire. It would look much better with an aggressive offset

Nah you should be fine. Even at stock height theres still gap. Depends how big of a drop you want.

25mm all around. roll your fenders. you'll look great. make sure to get an alignment. you'll be running with negative camber all around unless you get camber kits w/ toe bolts. negative camber isn't a problem, but if your toe is out of wack and can't get it back in spec, close to 0, your tires will be f*cked in less than 500 miles. make sure you have the financials to properly drop your car.
