Can anyone recommend a "safe and reliable" spacer company? Something I know won't fly off my car when I'm speeding up on the freeway on-ramp

Bolt on or slip on with extended studs?

I'm not a complete expert. But I have ARP studs and will run about any hubcentric slip on. I'm more careful when running bolt on spacers. H&R and Ichiba are the most popular brand with H&R being better. There are others of good quality, but those are the most popular.

Fitment Question

Would 19x10.75 with and offset of 15mm for both front and rear wheels of a g35 coupe cause fitment issues? would I need rolled fenders? and if it would fit, would it effect the ride of the car in a negative way? This question or a similar one may have already been asked, I tried doing some research on this forum and others but couldn't come up with anything. Thanks for all the help in advance!

Depending on what tire size you want yes you will need to roll your fenders, also just wondering but have you considered doing a staggered setup instead of squared?

Yeah, I have. But I'm a high school student and don't have the money to spend 1k on wheels so I'm looking at the XXR 530's and the only other option they have other than 19x10.75 is 19x8.75 and I feel like that's not a lot of width at all

well the difference in width between those two would be more worrisome than just the width of those fronts…if you go with that square setup you'll be completely fine for the rears, just roll the fenders and you'll be good, the fronts will be more difficult though

what size tires and what suspension will you be running?

what makes it more worrisome? and having such a wide front would make it more difficult to drive would it not? also, I want stretched tires so what would you recommend? by the way, thank you for the help and quick replies.

and I have BC Racing Coilovers on now, not sure about tire size.

10.75 +15. you might start rubbing the inner spindle up front. I'm not sure though.

I have been looking for a rim similar to a forgestar f14 but can't really find something similar (same look lower price). I don't have enough money laying around to get $2000 wheels so Im looking for something close. Also with any rim that has some sort of concave, which is what Im looking for, am I going to have offsets that mess with suspension like camber changes or toe changes or whatever...I have never dealt with offsets on wheels really. Thanks!

It was kind of difficult to tell from the pictures on that website, but are those rims concave? It doesn't really look like they are to me. That style seems like it would look pretty good and relatively similar to forgestars

quick question. A 19x10.5+13 is equivalent to a 19x9.5 +1 and a 19x11.5 +13 is equivalent to a 19x10.5 +1 correct?

Yes, roughly. 1" = 25.4 mm / 2 = 12.7mm
