Is 7Mm Spacers Safe For G37 Rear Wheels?

Is 7mm spacers safe for G37 rear wheels? Mine's not Hubcentric but i figured since its only 7mm then it should be fine. The wheel shop guy said so as well as long as i changed to a little longer studs with it.

Did research on it online but can never get a straight answer..some will say its safe some will swear it'll kill you.... Hoping people with the G could offer some advice..

You should be fine with decent quality spacers (H&R's), I believe those should come with extended studs right?

Stop! Spacers are safe if installed right. If you are going to replace the studs with longer ones then go ahead and get a hubcentric spacer. Why would it be ok that it is not hubcentric just because it is only 7mm? If it is not set on there perfect you are going to get wheel vibration.

You will need extended studs even with a 7mm spacer. I think you can only get bolt on spacers with studs installed on 10mm and larger spacers though. Regardless of which spacer you use you need a hubcentric spacer, if not you are highly likely to get vibrations.

why 7mm...? hehe anyway, wanna go cheap? buy ebay spacers (hubcentric, with studs installed)... $40-60 a set, unless you really think a chunk of metal will just break on you. i've been using cheap ebay spacers for 4-5 years now. that's just me brotha
