Question About Wheel Spacers

Hey yall I just lowered my 2006 G35 Coupe on Eibach Springs and stock 19inch forged wheels... I know a lot about cars since I work at a dealership but I do not know a lot about wheel spacers and I was wondering if somene could give me some insight on that...
The wheels just look like they are tucked under the fenders kind of so I want them out just a little. If someone could tell me a brand and size or specs I should be looking for that would be so awesome. Also looking to get some aftermarker wheels with a little bit of a bigger lip would also like some info on those like what the offset should be etc. This is my daily so don't want to do anythning to crazy but I def want the spacers now, wheels will be a while from now.
Any help would be awesome.
Thank you!

I would say prolly 20 mm all the way around. Ull have to get fenders rolled in the back. Try and search there are a few pic threads on here with the 19" oem rays to give u an example

Both ichiba v2 and hubcentric are good brands. U want the ones with built in lugs

You do not need to have the fenders rolled unless you drop your car atleast 1" in the rear. I have spacers and H-Tech springs for the 350z (1" in front & 1/2" in rear) and I get no rub whatsoever. Check into it first.

P.S. - I have for sale some 20mm billet hubcentric spacers (a pair) with studs all pressed in....just bolt them on and slap your wheels on them an you're ready to go. They work perfectly. PM me if you're interested!

With the 20MM spacers and OE wheels you probably won't need to roll your rear fenders....Gary

Yes actually. You should now Rev your engine wildly at anything with a vagina. Also, from now on you should completely disregard stop signs and red lights. Amazing what spacers can do huh?

I dunno what those eibachs lower it in the rear. You need a substanial drop, and/or 20+mm spacers on an oem wheel to start worrying about rolling fenders though. Our front fenders are already pretty much rolled, so you'd have to have a REALLY agressive setup for that to be an issue.

PM'ed you back about spacers.

But seriously, no changes for driving style right? Or needing alignment etc. Just want to confirm that its purely a cosmetic change.
