I can't really tell from the pics but...
I've got a 1.5 finger gap in F and 1 finger gap in R, with 25mm spacers all around
and no rubbing probs.
I really think you'll want to go with a wider spacer up front though.
I used to have 15mm and it still looked too tucked for me.
But then again it depends on whether you're going to be running any camber/toe kit up front.
That can change the look slightly too.

With S-techs, I don't think you will rub.
I have OEM 19's, 20mm front/25mm rear spacers, and am dropped on HKS coilovers to the point where I'm tire tucking all 4 corners...
The rears used to rub where the rear fender met the rear bumper... but not anymore.
The fronts rub if I turn the wheel too far when I'm going up an incline, like into a driveway.

Are your rear fenders rolled?
^ Yes, they are.
Do yourself a favor, though, and find a shop that won't crack your paint when they roll your fenders. Ask others near you where they got their fenders rolled and whether or not their paint cracked.

you do not need to roll fenders with s-techs and spacers.
I am dropped on 350z s-techs which is a bigger drop than the g35 s-techs and have 20mm spacers all around. No rubbing, plenty of clearance.

i would also suggest going 25 all around possibly 30mm in the back if you really feel tight haha but i went 25mm all around on OEM 19's will stock tire height and dropped on some coilovers.


i wish my camera was working i would shot more pictures for you but gl on the decision. again 25mm all around!
this was before i got my alignment so looks tucked alittle and in the pictures earlier i raise it up another .75" inch or so. Getting that alignment did wondering in the look and will save my tires

I have 245/35/19 front tires and 245/40/19 rear tires on the stock OEM 19" wheels.
The car is not lowered yet (will lower it next year), but what would be the best size spacer to get? 25mm all around? 20mm front and 25mm rear?
