Had my V2's well over a year now and always tighten everything to 95lbs. Haven't had any problems yet, even with the added power.

I dislike spacers and if you discuss them with any good alignment mechanic they tell you to pass on em. Do what you want but for the safety factor buy the best quality....you life may depend on it!!

Can you explain the stress difference between a 19x10 + 30 wheel and a 19x10 + 15 on the wheel hub, mainly the bearing pertaining to the G35? Please post examples. Looking at your avatar pic you are NOT running wheels that simulate the factory offset and width. WEIRD that you crap on spaced out wheels and you yourself run wheels that are more agressive (in turn putting undue stress on the wheel bearings) wheels. Hmm
While at it can you post examples of this " Ebay trash" failing? I would hate for you to speak without proof.. I'm interested in these " nightmareish issues" you speak of. please post examples.

BTW a 19x11 + 30 with a 20mm spacer puts the same stress on the hub as a 19x11 + 10 . Just incase you were wondering.

All for the info the the person seeking it.
I do not claim to be correct, but I am interested in your theory.
Thanks.

I think you meant a 19x11 +30 with a 20mm spacer and a 19x11 +10 by itself.....anyways I agree that there isn't much of a difference depending if that spacer is torque down properly and secured as if it was part of the wheel. In other words, I feel that error in installation is the only fault with spacers/adapters.
