To spacer or not....?
#48
On my FX's I had H&R Trac+ 20mm DRS spacers and never had any issues with them.
This time I gambled and went with B2AutoDesign's 20mm DRM spacers instead.
I was reassured that they were as high quality as the H&R's for less $$$...so far so good.

Are your tires directional or "outside biased", if they're outside biased (forgot the official term) just rotate side to side every oil change and you should be alright, might shave 10% off your tread life but a little extra camber is sometimes preferred if you're doing a lot of speed cornering.
I think I'd save the money for something else, who knows, might even have someone that can tweak it just a bit better next time around, some alignment guys can work some magic

Toe is the biggie so at least your tires won't get crazy wear. Maybe you can just get a right front arm

Thanks Newt for responding in both of my threads
I agree regarding the toe being in spec is most important.
The OEM Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 225/50/18 are non-unidirectional, so they can be rotated in any order.
Tire wear is not too much of a concern, since I plan to replace the Dunlops with something better...they are too noisy on the hwy.
I'm looking into Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105...

Any other tires I should consider?
As for getting the alignment better, the tech who did it was actually really good and was sorry he couldn't get it better in spec.
I'll probably wait until the weather gets warmer and see what my Infiniti Service can do.

I'm really liking my Toyo Proxes4 Plus, best A/S tires I've had, and I've had Dunlop Sport Signature, BFG G-Force KDW, Falkens. Great dry grip, sidewalls are quite firm, and excellent in the rain, quiet too!
Here's a lengthy review on them on a high HP SRT Mopar

I have heard great things about Toyo Proxes 4 from friends on my FX forums.
I've had excellent past experience with Hankook Ventus RH06 on both of my FX's and they are very similar to the Proxes.
I was hoping that the V4 ES H105's is just as good for the G.
I will look into both and decide on whichever one I go with when the time comes for me to replace the OEM Dunlops.

All-Season tires, guys? Srsly?

All that aside, these Toyo's could very well be the best All-Season tires you can buy today. Hooray for Toyo. And as good an achievement as that may be, it's still far less than what a quality High-Performance Summer tire can deliver during the summer, or what a good Snow Tire can deliver during the winter.
So yes, my friend... Srsly.
