Another M45 spread (lots o pics)
mishmosh - WOW. Your car looks INCREDIBLE! Definitely the best looking PG G35. Love the composition of the photos too w/ the skidmarks - looks like you just got done doing lateral acceleration tests (did you? ha ha).
Wes_888 - CKP actually has +25 spacers at all 4 corners. +20 is pretty flush on my car without any rubbing issues at all even with rear camber corrected to 1 degree.
As I mentioned in another thread, the only problems I've heard of people having the bolt-on type spacers is when they don't check and re-torque them to spec. I've had my spacers on now for about 9 months without any issues. If you want to be really safe, just get the spacers that require replacement studs. They are a bit of a PITA to install, but there would be virtually zero chance of failure or loosening (still would want to always retorque the lug nuts on the wheels after about 50-100 miles when a rim is pulled and reinstalled).

Yes. Spacers w/o built in studs use longer studs that are fitted to the hub just like the stock OEM studs. They do not have an extra set of lug nuts holding the spacers in place - just the wheel lug nuts holding both the spacer and wheel in place. They are 100% as safe as installing a set of 19x8.5 +30 offset rims on your car.
