Which Spacers Do I Need

I'm new to suspension on cars. I just lowered my G35 coupe on Eibach Pro kit. 1.1" front 1.0" rear. Im wondering which spacers would fit with no issues. I just got new tires not too long ago so I cant get wider tires.

measure the difference between the tire and the fender in mm's
buy the spacer accordingly.
pretty simple.

You need 25mm spacers, but will need to roll your fenders. You can do 20mm and not roll, but then your grandma will call you a lame b!tch.

WHS (What He Said for the benefit of newbs), It all depend on how wide your wheel is. On my sedan, I had 8" wide wheels with a +30 offset and it was just perfect. I had some M35 (+45) wheels for a while and I had to run 5mm spacers in front just to clear the brake calipers. I didn't want to run a bolt on spacer, I just don't trust them. A coupe has a different offset so it is a bit different.

LMAO! that was good!

I ran 25-20mm on my stock 19's with 1.5 drop. I'm happy with it. I found out through searching the forum.
