Thumbs up Need Advice On Spacers With OEM 19's!

I have a 2006 coupe 6-speed with OEM 19's and I am looking for the wheels to stick out more and look more aggresive. But I want spacers that are easy to install and don't need a shop to do them, etc. Can anyone recommend a brand, size, etc.? Thanks!

I just installed these Ichibi spacers a few days ago, they are 20mm front and 25mm rear. They are very close to the fender without a roll, but I have no scraping problems even when I was carrying an 80lb jack in the trunk and 1/2 a tank of gas.






there are more pics of the spacers in this thread:

That is EXACTLY the look I'm going for. I have no plans on lowering the car so I don't think I'll run into an issue scraping. Do you know the cheapest place to pick up the front & rear spacers and how difficult were they to install? Because in the past the spacers I installed just went on top of the OEM lugs and then you bolted the wheel on as usual. Thanks!

And if I get a 20mm front spacer & 25mm rear spacer do I need to do hubcentric rings?

the hubcentric rings are recommended. The Ichiba spacers have them built in already.

m7rabbit, for some reason your 25mm spacers look much better on the car than mine did (I had Ichiba V2's also). My wheels stuck out beyond the fender well too much and I took them off. Are you sure yours are 25mm?

OP, after my 25mm issue I am going to get 20mm for the rear and 15mm for the front, however after seeing m7rabbit's I am confused. I swear my 25mm spacers pushed the wheels out way further than that. O well, when you do buy them I highly suggest the Ichiba V2's. There is a sponsor on the forums that is selling them at a great price right now. I think it's HR Motorsports.

Are you lowered? What is your current camber settings?

stock suspension.

I saw that m7rabbit is on 350z H Techs. Maybe that was the issue.

I'm confused now because I bought 25mm rear and 20mm front but I don't want the wheels to stick out too far and look tacky, I am stock height with no plans on dropping.

At stock height, you should go 15/20mm

Picked up some 15mm for the front and 20mm for the rear Ichiba V2 spacers, really looking forward to getting them on sometime next week.
