I have spacers on my car as we speak and they work fine. 25mm in the rear and 20mm up front with OEM 19s.

I've had Ichiba V2 (20mm front and 25mm rear) with my OEM 19" Rays on my G for four months and haven't had any problems.

IMO, with most things in the world -- it's all about how you do it. Do it right, or intelligently, or thoroughly -- and you'll be fine. Do it wrong, or poorly, or half-assed -- you're in trouble.

We know that the spacers with the built in extended studs should be fine.
But the problem is when people buy spacers that you need to replace the oem studs and they dont.

Don't buy off-brand spacers, stick with the well known brands like Kics or Ichiba. The extra money you spend on the quality brand versus the ebay brand is well worth it.

I actually started a question thread on this topic a couple of months ago because I have no experience with the and was curious. https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...gs-needed.html
When you are saying "extended lugs" do you mean extended studs??? I'm confused... Lugs and studs are being used in the same context, but they are two completely different things.

^Yep. You could just get the ones with the studs already built in like the Ichiba V2's.
