Does anyone know if Ichiba, or H&R make 8mm spacers for infiniti?

I had the Infiniti BBK install on my M35x. I have Ichiba V1 15mm spacers on the front, but I didn't buy any spacers for the back, because I thought I wouldn't need them, but that wasn't the case. The installers had a few spacers at the shop, so the put some generic 8mm spacer on the back, which was a perfect fit that was flush with the fender.

I don't have that peace of mind running the off brand spacer in the back, but I can't seem to find any 8mm spacers from Ichiba, or H&R, and I'm not sure of any other brand that might make make high quality spacers.

- Good luck finding an 8mm spacer for our car. I searched and found one on Ebay (Project Kics) but it was very generic looking and such. Other than that one, I didn't have too much more luck.. Would going up to a 10mm be completely out of the question? You can def. find a 10mm spacer that'll fit, and it'll be by a reputable builder.

btw..... Which shop did you have do your BBK install? and if you don't mind sharing or pm me, cost? If i don't have time to do my own install's while i'm on Vacation, i'll need to find a shop to do my suspension and whatever else I get done.

I don't mine doing a 10mm spacer, but I would have to pull the fender just a little bit. If I find a body shop that can do the job.....I think I might go that route.

Southern Performance did the install on Virginia Beach Blvd. It cost me $380 out the door. They are also going to do my coilovers on Monday.

got it. You didn't find any decent shops on the peninsula? Custom Car Care, out on Rt. 17 use to be good, but I don't even know if they are still open.

a little camber can help if your going with the 10mm

the lower you go the more room you get.

I never heard of them before, but I'll check them out.

I'm already lower on Espelir springs. With coilovers do you think with some adjustment I will be able to make it work without rolling the fender?

I really can't tell without looking but the lower you go the more room you'll have.

After installing the coilover and setting the car with the drop you want than you can play with the camber.

you may be able just to give it a small pull and keeping the oem look instead of rolling the fender lip (which doesn't look good).

A small pull is what I'm looking for......I want to keep the oem look as much as possible
