So - not to hijack - but which should I go with:

15mm front, 20mm back

or

20mm front, 25mm back?

I'd prefer built-in stud extensions. I've got the Ray's 19s, dropping the car 1" on my new BC Racing Coilovers. What do you guys think I should run?

Thanks!

20mm/25mm for a pretty normal setup. Personally I would go 25/30mm and roll the rear fenders

This might sound like a stupid question,
but I bought aftermarket rims that are hitting my Brembos on the 03 g35 coupe.

1st question: Are Ichiba hubcentric spacers safe?or spacers in general.
2nd question: I might need 15mm or 20mm in the front, is 15mm too little and/or 20mm too much?
3rd question: Will my factory bolts/lugs protrude from the spacers? will i have to cut them off?
4th question: Do i go with all this mod or sell the new aftermarket rims?


PLEASE HELP.

I did much research on spacers, they are not safe.
Apparently they cause premature wheel bearing problems. Also you have to keep tightening the spacers every like 500 or so miles.
They every make the ride uncomfortable.

i think i remember reading that somewhere as well. i'm thinking of them now as a possible solution to my driver side camber arm scrapping the inside of my rim when im reversing left. i don't kow if my camber arm is bent or if it's offset problems. maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. are camber arms easily bent?

^^ I'm with you on that one Cal.

This has been discussed many times before on this forum. I'll let you come to your own conclusion tho.
