Really nice lookin coupe Shawn, the G37 wheels look great! Keep an eye on your tires, even a little off on alignment can waste em quickly. Winter's almost over, enjoy the ride!

25mm= 1inch

They DO NOT vibrate at any speed. They seat perfect to the hub and studs.

If you wanted the perfect fit, without any rubbing, what size spacers would you get for front and rear?
1 - If you were at stock height?
2 - If you were lowered 1"?

I'm wondering if you'd want bigger spacers at the front/rear than the other, in either case.

Thanks! That is what I will do then. This is all on your shoulders now

ETA: I am finding that 25mm spacers for our cars are $125/pair before shipping, at the cheapest. If you guys are finding anything cheaper, let me know.
