Ordered 20mm Ichiba V2 Wheel Spacers today... Questions in thread.

So I've got the mod bug. At least I've found the site where degenerates like me can come get info, ***** about prices, what we're going to do next, etc. In the past month or so I have done the following:

Z1 Motorsports Slotted and Cross Drilled Rotors - Z1 Motorsports



Eibach Pro Kit , Stillen Cat Back Exhaust - Forged Performance



Paddle Shifters - bough at Riverside Infiniti, installed at Infiniti of Gwinnett
Ichiba rear camber kit - Riverside Infiniti
Stillen Intake - Infiniti of Gwinnett
White LED Interior - door lights, map lights, trunk light, and license plate lights
Escort Passport 9500ix hard-wired by http://radarinstallations.com (highly recommend this guy)



I've got Ichiba rear camber kit coming in from Riverside, and I've got Ichiba 20mm V2 wheel spacers coming in to fill a lot of the gap in my slammed sedan. Do you guys think 20mm is too much? I think it is going to be close on the rears and fine in the front. Will the wheel spacers affect the amount of negative camber I have right now? I am getting the camber kit installed, but I'm concerned that since this was somewhat of an impulse purchase that I may have to do something else to "get it right".

Any comments/suggestions or just "Hey, how 'ya doin'?" is just fine.

To hear the exhaust note and see the car in action:

Not sure on sedans but on a Coupe with stock "18 tires, I've seen people use 25mm for the Front and 20mm on the rear and it looks really good. You can always slap them on and see how it looks and if they don't look right...heck..I need 20mm Ichiba V2 for my coupe..hehheheeee....hope that gives you an idea.

I saw some 20mm's all around in another thread on this board. I don't have the coin right now to drop several grand on new wheels, and I really like the wheels that are on the car. I just hope the spacers give me the look I'm going for.

Does anybody know if the spacers will increase or decrease the negative camber in the car now?

The camber will be the same but more noticable (as will your drop). From the pictures you posted, I think 20mm will make it nice and flush all around. Nice upgrades so far.

Go through this guy's thread, there's pics of his car with the same 18's as you, dropped, with 20mm spacers all around. He's got some good pics.

FWIW I just put 15mm V2s on.
I'll have some pics up on the weekend after I swap out the springs.

Oh my! That is some hotness right there. The stance of his car is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I think mine sits a little lower on the Eibachs than his does on the Tanabe's, but it makes me feel a lot better about my purchase of the spacers. I could justify a couple hundred bucks to get spacers over several grand for wheels and tires. Thanks for the link.

i have 15mm on the rear only and it looks perfect - im not dropped
since your dropped i think a 20mm spacer should set it off.
