did some math and i found out the spacers i will need. the largest spacers i can find are 32mm and if used on the front will bring me .59 inches further than stock on the front and a 38mm will put me at .79 inches beyond stock in the rear i.e.your spacers wont work for me.

I would highly advise against going any larger than a 30mm spacer. That puts a ridiculous amount of stress on the hub. Testing and theoretical models have shown that you're setting yourself up for catastrophic failure going larger than 30mm. I had 27mm and 22mm on my 350z and they were PLENTY flush. Very similar for the Gs of course. If you don't listen to me now.. you'll think of my warning when you break a wheel stud while driving.

25mm = 0.984 inches
20mm = 0.787 inches

well the reason for the massive spacers is because i was given wheels that are +45mm and id really like to use them instead of sell them. do you think them being 45 would help offset some of the stress or is it still going to be too much

The stress on the hub is directly related to the shear points. The rims' offset will not necessarily change anything because the point of interest for shear is the distance from the hub to the point of contact for the bolts themselves. I think I remember you saying those rims came from an rx8? Those cars have tiny wheel wells and require lower offsets. If I were you, I'd just sell the wheels and get something that will fit proper on your G. 19s or 20s look way better anyway

they are 18s which i dont mind. and they are a 7 spoke gunmetal which i love im just trying to stay on a budget. please dont take this as im trying to be right im just trying to get my learn on and understand everything. to clarify the numbers i gave were over stock not the length in inches of the spacers themselves...................so kenny how about the 25mm spacers how much dont forget the sub

edit: just did the math and i think id be happy with a 25/30 spacers
