Right, but unless you have AWD, the front wheels are 8.5 " wide and the rear wheels are 9 " wide. Which is why we have different tire sizes on our stock wheels. 225 on the front 245 on the rear I think.

Yeah, but they are running those on 10.5 and 11 inch wide wheels.

Agreed, but a 275 on a 10.5 is stretched... I'll snap a pic later so you can have a look, it's nice a flush with the rim and really makes the car handle a lot better.

I am not trying to thread jack either, but I am currently riding on 19" sport rims with stock tires on my 2008 G37S coupe. I just purchased some BC adjustable coilovers and a rear SPC camber kit. I am planning on keeping my oem wheels for awhile. What size spacers would be best to have that "flush" look? I am also weary of any extra vibration caused by the spacers being added on...

I figure this might help even the original post at this point...

Thanks.

Depends how low you want to go. The lower you go, the larger the spacer you'll need to be flush... If you want to lower it about one inch then 20mm all around should be fine. If you plan on goig even lower, 25mm should do the trick...

I'm not planning on slamming the car, but I my goal is to get rid of the wheel gap in front and back. What kind/type/brand of spacers are necessary if I go with 20mm or 25mm?

Thanks

Most popular choice seems to be the H&R. Some people get vibrations, others don't. It all comes down to proper installation.

Honestly, if your dropping $110 anyways on some spacers, I would just buy some Project Kic Spacers and get the Hub Centric Ring for them just because of better reviews from them. I had Ichiba V2's and it gave me vibrations

So I am gathering that 15mm H&R spacers would be fine with the stock 19's lowered on BC coilovers...? Would 20mm be pushing it?

Thanks
