Wheel spacer recomendation

Hello I just picked up a set of M45 19" rims for my '07 G35x which is stock with the 17" rims.

The M45 rims have 50mm offsets and I'd like to have more of a flush look for my car. Does anyone on here have these wheels and what would the recommended spacer be for the fronts and rears?

thanks!

I have 15mm ichiba v2 spacers on mine and think they look flush enough for my taste. Make sure you do the spacer fix (ie. copper wire).

Thanks for the reply, do you have pictures by any chance? I was thinking 20mm or 15mm myself.

What do you mean by the:
spacer fix (ie. copper wire)

OK, answered my own question... found the thread relating to the "copper wire" post...
https://g35driver.com/forums/v36-diy...ation-fix.html


Having to rig spacers seems ridiculous! Is there a brand of spacer I can buy that won't have this issue?? WTF?

According to this link it says my new rims will be 24mm closer inside and 14mm further out... Do I really NEED to get spacers at all?

20mm would probably be fine too, especially if dropped and running more negative camber. If you are on stock springs, you may be able to get away with no spacers. If you are dropped, it looks kind of ridiculous how tucked in it looks.

Thanks for the links! I think I'm going to put the rims on first before I decide on spacers, don't want any vibration and plus my suspension is stock...

I would pick up some 20mm H&R DRM (built in studs & hubcentric) or Project Kics (will require hubcentric rings) spacers. I did a lot of research on spacers, and these 2 seem to be the best in the market.

and what about these and this thread?

https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...0-shipped.html

25mm can't be that much different than 20mm, hardly noticeable?

or this one:
