Very true, we've had a couple break in our shop. We replaced them, no questions asked.

Alright, so this is a 20mm spacer. Should I bring it in to 10mm or 15mm to address my rubbing issues?

^ Just go lower or dial in some negative camber and it'll fit fine.
If you're really set on getting new spacers then a 15mm should solve your rubbing issues.

Ok guys I know Im going to get flamed but I need to post here in order to get a more definite answer, because I know the people who lurk this thread know what they're talking about.....

I just ordered some stance coils and going ALOT lower of course w/ kz bumper and ings sides

My question is what size spacers can I run up front and rear without changing tires to be rubbing a little/flush?

Wheel Specs:
20*9.5 et 24 255/30/20 Yoko S-Drives
20*10.5 et 15 275/30/20 Yoko S-Drives

Heres a couple pics as fitment so far: Yes I know ALOT more low...

I was thinking 20mm front and 15mm rear.....Or should I run a 225/35 upfront w/ a 25mm spacer?

do you have any camber kits installed?


it doesn't look like it.

your rear offset and tire size is a perfect size, but since you want hella flush run a 10mm spacer and a lot of camber. Or run a 255 tire and 15/20mm spacer and a lot more camber to get you hellllaaaa flush.

fronts coud get away with a 10mm and little camber, keeping your original tire size. Or run 235/30 tire and 20mm spacer.


in all giving you the strected tire and hella flush.

I think your tire is to wide, maybe a 235 tire will be better. in order to do hella flush you'll need to stretch your tire.

Questions... I own a 2004 G Coupe. I bought/installed the 08 G37 Akebono BBK - and now I want to go aggressive/flush with 0 or negative offsets... I'm SO not mechanically inclined, logically I think it won't work? The rears should fit easily, but will the fronts need huge spacers, the calipers up front are monsters (am I out of luck for an aggressive setup?). I'd like to do something like some Work VS-XX... Or some Work Gnosis (step-lip) 20's. I LOVE Meisters, but I want 20's. Any advice is helpful (I will be dropping it for fitment on some coils if that makes any difference and doing a minor tire stretch). Last question, is the Work 2D Chrome for the VS-XX too 'blingy' for the G? Thanks in advance

Yea it can be done man. Ive looked at this setup numerous times and decided Id rather have max lip than a bbk, but go to Works website and mess around with the lip sizes. Just make sure you have an R-disk up front and 0-disk in the rear.

Work Gnosis will lend you a bigger lip in the end, no one has them and cheaper too.....

Work Vs-xx got played out IMO and 2D chrome looks good if setup right

But yea your going to need to do a fender roll definitely in the rear and maybe some upfront, but just dont do what I did and listen to your Vendors and get WEAK offsets. Definitely stretch those tires

Call rick at Ravspec, he'll hook you up good too

pm me if you have any questions

Thanks ALOT for taking the time to answer, I appreciate that - I'm encouraged for sure. I won't do weak offsets, and I'll stretch those tires =)

I'm looking at replacement wheels after my stockers were stolen right out of my driveway! I have an 04 G35 coupe with Brembos. Has anyone tried out O.Z. Alleggeritas? I know it's a relatively new wheel, but I wanted to check, as Tire Rack doesn't list the 18s as fitting over Brembos. I'm looking at getting the 18 x 8 +35s. Not an aggressive fitment at all.

Thanks muchly.
