Oh wow I thought we had to use at least 20mm to but the M45's on an X...
Looks good though!

No. you can get away with running just a 10mm spacer to clear everything you need too fit the m45 wheels, but i would go with a 20mm anyways, just because it will look nicer all around.

ive heard you need a 5 or 7mm front and thats it. obviously 10 or 20 is better for more clearance.

FYI i think you need like a 25-30 to be flush. because i recall offsets being +55 on 8.5 rim width. My track wheels are 8.5 and +33. its close to flush but not enough for me to call it that. So thats pretty much what you would end up with a 20mm spacer.

Turtle* whaaaat up... Been a minute!
Yeah I think I am going with the 25mm all around Ichiba's.. (looks like Ichiba's largest spacer is 20mm) Going to keep looking or may just get 20mm..

On another note you don't by chance still have your old coupe springs you would like to get rid of?

what ups...

20mm is good but maybe a 25mm. or do a 20/25 setup. I'm thinking of sliding in a 5-7mm spacer in the rear.

no on the springs, i sold them to fund the coilovers.

Hey, I'm still pretty much new around here and have been lurking for a while reading as many threads as I can for information. I just did a M45 rim set up on my '05 blk sedan X w/10mm spacers up front to clear the control arms. It would have been soooooo much easier for me if I had looked up the information here first! What would be the benefit of using 20-25mm spacers? Is it just for appearances or better clearance?

Got the Ichiba V2 20mm on, wish I would have went 15mm in the front though.. Stance does look a little tougher, I am sure it will look much better when I get the drop and fender roll... Speaking of fender roll anyone know a place in Chicago?

BUT definitely happy with the set up..

haha j/k but the predominate philosophy is drop before wheels and now you know why, car looks like a Range Rover. When you lower it though it will look great!! I love those wheels on TB sedans.

yeps, plan on doing some serious off roading before the BC's come....
Honestly the gap is not as bad as I thought and even seems a little less than with the stocks on....
