I had to use (3mm) spacers for the front, becareful about clearance with the front caliper, mine didn't clear even though Maya said the offsets were right for a G35. Some clear, some don't, its very wierd.

Got my wheels in Yesterday put them on this morning i had to get spacers tooo.. thats kind of disturbing even though spacers dont cost much.. Wish they would have told me had to drive 30mins to get some spacers..bleh anyways looks great and i'd post pictures but its been raining in TN for a week not suppose to rain tommorrow so i'll wash it and post it....also

Dave did you lower your car? you have a pic of it sideways

looks awesome man! I'm running a 3mm spacer with about 1mm clearance between the wheel and caliper. I new Maya ****ed up on the backspacing and they just straight out proved it again!

My car is lowered on Tein coilovers, 19x9 19x10.5

255/35 up front 285/35 in the rear. NO RUBBING. No fender modifications at all.

you can just stick one finger under the rear fender and tire, and the front tire is just about tucked away in the fender. The stance is PERFECT.

is it a hubcentric spacer? .8" is large if its not. The wheel will not be on the hub and the front wheels will probably shake at high speeds.

I have the STM's, I had to use 3mm spacers to clear my Brembos on the front as well. They look sick though don't they.

I'm not sure what kind of spacer they are. my friend is a manager at goodyear and he took care of everything i tried goign up highspeed also cause he did say possiblities of shaking at high speeds i took it up to about 120 no shaking yet *crossess fingers.

3mm isn't usually enough to cause vibrations unless your wheel is out of balance to begin with.

thats why i'm only using a 3mm. but an .8" non-hubcentric might.

maybe we should start a groupbuy on 10mm hubcentric spacers. I know I'd get them for more clearance

Yeah thats what they told me also, but its REALLY off. Every car with brembo's with these wheels will not clear without spacers.
