Default Spacers...Necessary or not???

I might be getting 19' G35 rims for my Z, now i see alot of people run spacers with this setup, is it necessary to put spacers on my Z for these wheels or not? If so which spacers do you guys recommend?

Any infeed would help, thanks guys...

They are not required, but they do A LOT for the look of the car. If you decide to get some spacers, I would highly recommend the Project Kics spacers and hubcentric rings. I went with 15mm front and 20mm rear and have been really happy with the setup. I might sell mine (only about 3-4 weeks old) because I just bought some new wheels. I will post them for sale if I decide to sell for sure.

Pope said it correct. The wheels will bolt-up without spacers, however they will "look like crap" in most peoples opinions. Bolt on 15/20mm and you should be good to go. Same setup I'm running and love it...

I went with KICS spacers. 5 minute per wheel installation including removal of the wheel... I believe H&R spacers, you disassemble the hub, which takes much longer. Any other spacers are probably too cheap to run. You don't want a wheel flying off while you are driving...

I will let you know soon. My car is at the dealer right now, and I should have my wheels in next week.
