wheel spacer

Hello,

I have already done a search and also replied to a previous "wheel spacer" thread already but nobody has replied.

In the last thread, there were pics etc. of a g35 with 25mm wheel spacers mounted with the 19' rays and it looked perfect.

I have the stock 18's. I wanted to put wheel spacers too, but do you guys think 25mm will look the same as how the 19's looked (in terms of fitting "perfect" and flush?

list the specs of the wheels (Offsets)
why do you want to put spacers for 18's? that would look weird for sure

Play with this wheel calculator a bit, if you input all the measurements it should answer most of your questions. People have their different opinions on spacers both good and bad. Here is the link and info.

http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp

based on the specs of the 18" OEM rims:

18" wheels
Front & Rear: 18x8 +30mm offset

VS:

19" wheels
Front: 19x8 +30mm offset
Rear: 19x8.5" +33mm offset

I used a setup of 20mm front & 25mm rear spacers with OEM 19" to get a flush look. If you want to get the same look with 18" OEMs you would need:

20mm front and 32mm rear.


Someone please check my math, correct me if I'm wrong.

The first attachement is 18" OEM vs front 19" OEM W/20mm spacer
The second attachment is 18" OEM vs rear 19" OEM w/25mm spacer
