wheel spacer size? - OEM suspension and Rays

Hey guys,

I just raised my 03 Coupe back to stock height with the sport package oem springs and I installed the oem rays 19" wheels for my winter setup.

I noticed the front are flush with the fender but the rears sit a little deep in the wheel well. I want to space them out so they're flush with the rear fender and aligned evenly with the fronts. What size wheel spacers do you guys recommend for this setup? I'm thinking 25mm?

Thanks

I did 25mm Ichiba V2 on my 06 sport suspension with Rays front and back. Looked perfect.

Either 20/25 or 25/30 (front/rear) will work.

I did 25 all around as well. It's as close to perfectly flush as possible

I do a lot of 20/25. No issues. Close to flush look. 25/30mm with give flush look.

So the 25's will flush it out all the way around? I'm on the OEM 19 inch rays myself, and this thread has suddenly become super useful..

Would one expect a little more camber wear doing something like this? Or could that be avoided.

I did my homework before choosing a size and 25 all around worked great. I even installed them myself. Just remember to add "Anti-Seize" silver cream to the flat surface of the spacer so that they will come off in the future. Go with a "Hubcentric" spacer so that you don't have any wobble issues at high speeds.

It's flush all around. No more camber wear. I don't think the geometry changes since ride height isn't changing

+1 on the hub centric. I got mine from z1 for like $130 for all 4 I think. .. or maybe 170. I forget

If anyone can chime in: I have an 07 G35 coupe with the Nismo S-Tune suspension and Rays. I'm looking for that flush look as well. I can't decide if I want to go 25mm all around or 25f/30r. Anyone have any insight? PIctures? All would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does the stune sit lower? If not, 25s will be flush. I'll go outside right now and get a couple pictures for you guys. If your car is any lower than 1/2" under stock, I'd do 20mm in the rear to avoid any possible rubbing over bumps

Well. I tried. App crashes every time I add a picture. Maybe it can't handle the resolution. I'll try to add them to photobucket and add a link
