Question about spacers?

Whats up guys, I have a quick question about spacers and I need some input. I just recently sold my 20's and put my OEM 19's back on the car. I going stockies for a little while. Oh, and by the way I have a Black 08 G37S Coupe dropped on eibach springs. Being that I needed some new tires, I just recently ordered some new fatter tires (I went with Hankook VI2's...245/40 R19 in the front, 275/35 R19 in the rear) and I'm dropping my car off one day next week to get them put on and get my wheels powder coated either a semi-gloss black or a really dark grey color. I'm thinking that I may need to buy some spacers to give me that flush look and I was thinking about 20 or 25mm spacers but I'm stuck lol. What brand/type spacers should I buy and what size for the front/back. I've heard issues with vibrations and I do not want that. I've heard good things about H&R DRM's but I still need a little help. Thanks

20MM front, 15MM rear.
Anymore rubs in the rear,
The different sizes squares the stagger of the 245/275 combo.

Thats my setup with H&R DRMs, they is torquing them properly OFF the ground.

Check my garage. I'm dropped on Tanabe coilovers to 25" 7/8" all around. I'm running H&R 20mm all around.

No issues at all, no vibrations. Smoothe as pie.

I have an X model so my wheels are non-staggered 19x8.5 all around. The car is dropped on Eibach pro-kit (advertised as 1.9 in front and 1.6 in rear I believe) and 20mm Eibach spacers all around. No vibration at all (properly torqued spacers to 90 ft lbs with wheels off and torqued lugs to 85 ft lbs). My only complaint is that I wish I had gone 25mm all around, I think that would of been perfect.

Also, as TVPostSound said, go with a dark gun metal color for the wheels. I hate the look of OEM wheels painted black.

I'm sure there are other wheel spacer brands out there, but as you can see by the previous posts, the names of H&R and Eibach come up the most often and for good reasons. They are simply the best in quality and workmanship period, especially with hub centric wheels. I wouldn't trust any other with my car and especially my life. Don't go cheap here, it just doesn't pay.

Love how your car look! Thats the look im going for. So with 20mm all around the rear will rub? I should go with 15mm in the rear due to the drop and bigger tires??
