HERE IS ANOTHER PIC FROM DA BACK

What offset are your wheels? The mm of spacers you get would depend on what look you're trying to achieve. Do you plan on cutting/pulling your fenders out? Or will you keep your fenders the way they are? You will need to know the offset of your wheels, the max + offset the M35 can handle, then purchase spacers that will not exceed the max offset. You'll simply need to add mm of the spacers to the mm of your 22" wheels offset to get this number.

You may also want to consider buying a set of aftermarket struts that can handle your Eibach springs before you blow out your OEM struts.

Information in terms of the width of the wheel is also a huge factor.

To sum it up, you need the width of the wheel, and the offset of the wheel.

But, in general I would avoid spacers. They will probably cause your car to shake at highway speeds, as well as stress out your suspension. You would have been far better off buying the correct wheel offset/width from the start.

From the picture I would say somewhere between 5-10mm.

Wheel width isn't a great concern in this case (but in general--yes width is imperative) The quality of spacers today are pretty good and do not create noticeable issues with vibrations. This dude technically didn't purchase the incorrect offset/size/width he just wants a more - offset for his wheels. In order to achieve the "perfect" wheel fitment it's best to purchase a custom fitted wheel---which is expensive as hell. But since most folks can't afford this option they rely on spacers to help attain the look desired.

But based on the pictures posted 5mm would probably be the max to avoid fender rubbing. Did you role your fenders? If not you may want to consider doing so if you go with spacers.

You do realize that when the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. Put another way, the width of the wheel is directly in the calculation of the offset.

There is a specific width + offset our cars can handle without rubbing something. Without the width of the wheel available you're missing half of that calculation. Case and point...

At 10.5" wide wheels with a +55mm offset would be about even with the wheelwells.

At 10.0" wide +49mm would be about even with the wheelwells.

At 9.5" wide +43mm would be about even with the wheelwells.

At 9.0" wide +36mm would be about even with the wheelwells.

At 8.5" (stock) +30mm would be about even with the wheelwells.

Simplest way to get flush without rubbing is get some index cards and fold em to 5mm, 10mm, 15m, etc and see what fits between the tire and fender without force. From the looks of it a 15 could fit maybe even a 20. Which ever spacers you decide to go with make sure they have built in studs and are hub centric to nissan/infiniti. Don't worry about struts blowing out I had eibachs for 40k + miles before I got bags and they were/are still good.

[infinite M]

thanks for all da input. I am gonna try the index card thing. The car actually came with the 22when i bought it two years ago. I went and got them painted to match the car three months after i bought the car,
so i am not sure the current offset of the rim.

[tbelcher]

Do you know the width of the wheel? What size tires are you running? Any rubbing issues with people in the car?

[nitigrity]

i had to put some eibach camber controll arms after i lowered mine on some eibach springs i kept the factory sport rims. but once the controll arms went on the wheels sat a little more flush. try that plus it'll save your tires

A very affordable way to add a touch of style is the Ebay roof spoiler. You dropped it and put wheels now the spoiler will make it stand out for sure!! Well under $100 bucks already painted, comes from Japan sometimes takes up to three weeks but worth the wait. Installation is super easy also!! Mine took under two weks to arrive!

Thanks bodyguard we have the same color car apparently as it looks except yours looks about 100x better than mine lol i am gonna look up that now on ebay i see u got the ebay rotors also and particular brand that u recommend from ebay for the spoiler or rotors?

The Spoiler has been purchased from many different Sellers on Ebay... I went with bc_moto I believe, (its been a while) also brakes are great! If you decide to look them up on Ebay be sure to get them from Brakemotive in IL. Still available last I checked... I've put almost 30k miles on mine and still really good!! I've considered the bbk but I don't really need it

Ooh... And I think your car looks great too!!
