Thumbs up Ichiba Wheel Spacers Version 2

Hey guys , I am getting ready to add spacers to my G35 . I came across the new Ichiba Version 2 spacers .

CHIBA Version II wheel spacers are made from Aluminum/ Magnesium alloy. They are incredibly strong and very lightweight. Each ICHIBA wheel spacers are two pieces design with pressed studs. Now it's time to bolt-on without any swap studs hassles. These ICHIBA Version II wheel spacers are hubcentric spacers that is vehicle specific. ICHIBA Version II wheel spacers will fitted on your vehicle's original hub perfectly without any gap. Wheel spacers move the wheel out from the hub, effectively widening the stance of the vehicle and lowering its roll center. This simple modification increases lateral stability, which in turn provides improved vehicle handling and greater driving safety.

Bolt Pattern: 5/114.3 Center Bore: 66.2 Thread: 12x1.25

Sold as one pair (2pcs) with 10pcs nuts with one special socket

I need to know if these would be a good choice for my G and what you guys think about 25mm on the rear and 15mm on the front . These are on my OEM Wheels . Thanks for any advise you all have ...

You guys just made my day , thanks for all your help . Your ride is phat !!!! I like it . This is what my ride looks like . The reason I wanted to know what the car would like with the V2 spacers 20/25 mm is that I don't have to remove when I put back my OEM wheels . I have 20s on now .

What do yall think of adding 25 /25 on all 4 wheels or 20mm spacers on the front and 25mm on the rear . These are the New Wheels 245/35/20 on front and back ?

let me put it to you this way, they make your g35 look like a 4x4 since you don't have a drop and they won't even look good on an escalade nor a 300c. But it's ok whatever makes my car look even better works for me

Dude thanks for opinion and I do agree with you , I saw some **** on here on some other guys ride and they are sick . I am ready to sell these and get something else for real . I know they are not for a G but its only for now till I can find something I really like . I got a good deal on these so I just tookem . My OEM Wheels needs tires and they were costing me more than what I paid for these 20s. So I am sure you can understand and these 20s are sitting on brand new tires you feel me . Trust me tho , I will be posting them up for sale lol . Your cool and honest ...

oh yah thats what I hear, not personal experience, that tires for 19's cost more than tires for 20's

but thats cool man do your thing, as long as you know whats up. I suggest get some nice 19s or something and just lower the car that's usually the best way to go

Thats the thing I don't want to lower the ride , the roads over in CT are not good at all .
Believe it or not the ride on these 20s are sweet dude. What I want to do is widen the stands on her . The pic I posted don't really dont do the wheels any justice still but I agree with you that they wouldnt be for a G . I know the Chrome are strong lol . I will clean up my car and take some better pic when I add the spacers . Its only for a lill while till I find a buyer lol .

ah man thats no reason NOT to lower your car, i live near LA and LA streets are pretty bad. Of course that does not rule out other streets nationwide but you can always get springs just to close that fender-tire gap and it makes your car look SO much better. As for the wheels i am completely against them but at the end of the day its your car man. Taste is one of the most subjective things known to man, who am I or anyone else to say that your taste is not good? Do your thing but just be prepared not a lot of members on the board will like the wheels
