im not seeing H&R's DRM series in 25mm offset. it seems like they only offer 40-90mm.

make sure the spacer you get looks like this...otherwise you'll have to get
new studs installed which will prevent you from using your factory G35C
wheels later on unless you use an open lug and have studs protruding
past the wheel (yuck).

Hi Kenchan,

Thanks for the fast responses. I've looked and the H&R spacers don't look like the ones that you showed of the KICS. I guess I'm going to have to get the KICS spacers.

How do I know what size hubcentric rings to get?

when you place your order with www.optionimports.com, just
let them know you have a G35C and need the centering rings for the
spacers.

Bore is 66.1mm.

Hi,

The Eibach Pro-Spacers have a bolt pattern of 12x1.25. Is that correct?
Is that the same as 5x114.3?

I looked up the application for the 350Z and the 350Z and the G35 have the same wheel specs right?

I found a website that is having a winter sales and I get 10% off my order and free shipping.

These also are hubcentric.

12x1.25 is the stud/nut thread pattern, not your PCD (Bolt pattern of 5x114.3).

that's correct, the ones for 350Z will work on our cars.
10%, huh? cool.

Hi,

I don't really understand what you said about the bolt pattern.

Here is the description from Eibach.
"25mm Spacer / Bolt Pattern 12x1.25 / Hub Center 66.1"

Will this work?

yep, those should work just fine.

66.1 is your center bore diameter (the part of the hub where your wheel or spacer sits on) in mm.

12x1.25 is the thread pattern or pitch on the studs. basically a
12mm diameter bolt with 1.25 thread pitch. (popular pitch is
12x1.25 and 12x1.50. Our cars use 12x1.25).

5x114.3 is your PCD or bolt pattern. it means 5 lugs that are 114.3mm
apart (crossing the center point of the hub).

cool keep us posted. when you torque down the small nut to hold the spacer onto the hub, make sure you use a very small amount of threadlock. (very small amount).

and let it dry over night. i think the torque should be the same as the
Kics at around 78-80lbs/ft. don't over torque. use a torque wrench.
