Question eibach/wheel spacers/

Hello,i'd like your advice for the size of the wheel spacers for a stock 350z,245/225-45-18.What about 25mm rear & 15mm front (50/30 per axle) ? For a sleek style without cutting my fenders.
Eibach springs(0.8"/1.2") to install later,hope that a simple alignment will take car of everything...I was looking for 0.8"front/1"rear (lower in the rear) in order not to go too much over 0.8" cause i've been reading it's hard to realign

Thanks in advance

you would clear no problem. your stock wheels are 30mm front & rear so you would be making the rears 5mm & the fronts 15mm. sicne they are only 8" wide wheels you still have plenty of clearance room. i have 19's at all for corners 8.5" front & 9.5" rear with 15mm fronts & 20mm rears. your setup would still be about 1/2" in the fender well area than mine. i have eibach springs & have no issues at all....very agressive!
dont forget you will be pulling your hubs & adding longer lug bolts if you go with the front 15mm spacers. w/o them it is unsafe! best of luck!

Hello Justin,your reply helped,
the wheel spacers come with new bolts,
BUT you have all the kinetix cambers to go with the lowering eibach springs.For my part i don't want to have to get cambers,so should i only get hotchkis (0.5"/0.75"rear)?

There was a guy on here a while back that had 25mm spacers front and back on the stock Track rims, and they looked like they spaced it out perfectly. I don't recall if he had lowered suspension, though. From the looks of the pics he posted, the wheels didn't seem like they were pushed any further out than your average aftermarket wheel, to be honest. They looked pretty right-on. That being the case, they'll probably fit with springs no problem.

As far as camber, if you have lots of negative camber (which you *will* with the Eibach springs), that can actually reduce the likelihood of rubbing the fender. The tops of your wheels will be tilted in. If you fix that camber, it'll tilt the tops of the wheels out and put them closer to the fenders then they would otherwise.
