What Spacers to Use?

Hello everybody.. First I would like to say that I'm glad to see all the amazing G35s out there and the incredible information found through this site.

I am now a proud owner of a G35 as well. I just purchased my friends 2004 IP G35 Coupe and am buying another friends set of Volk Vsxx rims off another G35.

The car currently has Tein Basic Coilovers, the rear fenders have been shaved a bit (not rolled) and there are Eibach rear camber arms for adjustment.

The Volk Vsxx specs:

Front: 19" x 9.5, +29 with 245/35 NT555

Rear: 19" x 10.5, +28 with 275/35 NT555

After looking through several threads/posts on spacing, adapters, offsets, etc.. I believe there is space to push out the wheels.

Now, I see that the wheels sit pretty flush with the fenders but has some room to stick out a bit. This car will be a daily driver so tire wear does matter;however, Im willing to sacrifice a bit

What brand (H&R, Project Kics, etc..) and 'mm' should be safe with out messing with the fenders (camber adjustment is fine)

H&R: I found already has the wheel studs in place and has that piece (hubcentric ring?) built as part of the spacer.

Project Kics: I found needs the wheel studs need to be pressed in and has the option adding the hubcentric ring as a separate part.

What's the best and safest bet? Your opinions/advice/suggestions matter, please help..

Thanks in advance

Well I've been using the Ichiba V2 spacers in 20mm/25mm on my OEM's since early this summer. No issues (once I followed the DIY vibration fix) and have enjoyed the wider look and little better stance for the corners (not that I hit em that hard, but hey...)

I would recommend these for anyone looking for spacers!

lol old thread. I personally am running 25mm all around on my oem 19's dropped on z h-techs so you can compare the actual dropped amount. I didn't have to roll my rears until I put on wider (255/40) tires on. I will be switching to coils soon so I'll have to see how far I can go with the roll and the spacers on those...

But as long as there are places near you to roll your fenders I wouldn't worry about it, it is cheap and quick/easy. Plus the look of 25mm all around is just amazing compared to stock. I would like to have 25/30 f/r but that with the larger tires but I don't know if it will rub even with the roll.

I had Project Kics cuz I heard it was the best, I thought so too until Ichiba V2 came out..... The project kics came with a PLASTIC hubcentric ring, which was very thin and small....now take a look at the Ichiba V2 ring, fckin huge and sturdy

if they are hubcentric and have built in studs then you probably will be okay but you can find used ichiba and other more well recognized brands for <$100 in the marketplace.. so you have to decide how much more for more peace of mind knowing the parts are of good quality compared to the unknown of ebay?

yea they're both made of aluminum, but take it from me.... THEY DONT FIT RIGHT !


i had a set from ebay, and like I said aluminum is aluminum, but the way it fits just ain't right.

like the guy above me said, for an extra $20.....
