Need to know the offsets on your wheels if you're asking for what size spacer. As for manufacturers, H&R, Kics or Ichiba. You can get built in studs wheel spacers which are significantly easier to install or spacers with extended studs. Your HRE's look to have a pretty conservative offset so without knowing your offsets it'll either be 15MM/20MM or 20MM/25MM.

Baller wheels + ghetto nankang tires in rubber band profile = fail

Take those tires off and make a swing or something.
Get some real tires, at LEAST 275 in the back. You could probably go up to 295/305. Same applies to the front. What everyone else said about your offset is true as well. But I'd fill up the tire profile asap, then work on spacers/drop, etc

Those wheels look great, very nice car. I personaly have the tein s-tech springs for the g35 and i love them. They ride nice and gave me just the right amout of drop.

+1 on what everyone said, priceless wheels + horrible tires= maxed out capital one card lol. Awesome wheels though bro!! What are the widths?? If so the guys are right about the tires, def atleast a 275 in the rear and 245 in the front. Then the spacers do depend on wheel offsets, just off visual I'd say 20/25mm would do the job. Coilovers next!!!

I knew that was coming..hahah
The reason for getting nankangs is im ****n broke and i wanted them on my car. The next set (probably 5kmiles from now) will be a nice set of tires. I dont know the offsets, wheres that thread on how i can figure it out. Personally i dont like ALOT of tire. I like it near the stretched look. I just need some good ideas on springs?
thanks for the comments fellas...

11" wide in the back. I'll have to measure the fronts.
Today i lost a center cap on the highway. YAY thats expensive, but i have to tell HRE my serial number to get new ones.

^Wow, you have a 265 on and 11" rear wheel? Are you sure about that? I do like the wheels and I understand why you'd want to get them on as I would too if I had a set of HRE's.

If those are really 11' in the back, with as tame of an offset as you have, you could run like... 325 in the back. I don't think they're 11' in the rear though, they can't be. If you had an 11' inch rear and 265's on there, it'd be stretchedddd like crazy.

If you like stretched look, then you def. have the wrong offset to pull it off. It's just going to look silly. Remember, xxx/xx, the first #, such as 275 is how wide a tire is. The second #, the xx, or ie 30, is the sidewall thickness measured as a %. Just because you get a wider tire, doesent mean it has to be "thicker."

A recent thread that shows tire size/wheel size done right can be found here

eeek get some big spacers, roll your fenders, and slam that thing. Also some 285's would look better.

I measured how wide the wheel was before i put the tire on. 11" wide. Unless i did this wrong. Yes i do know what tire sizes are and I posted the correct ones. I've just seen too many wheels with "too much tire" on them, and they look ugly. I'm still new to this wheel thing on a G, so bare with me and thank you guys for all ur inputs whether good or bad. I just want them to look really nice with low profile tire and soon it will be slammed.
