I just received my tires and Eibach springs today.
I was thinking about getting some wheel spacers as well, but can't seem to find anything.
(I own a base model on OEM 20") Can somebody guide me towards the right direction? :ohno:

Also, will the tires wear out unevenly with spacers (inner tread wear)?
How big can I go? Will it rub? What would you recommend?
I was leaning towards 20mm front and 25mm rear.
(I am fairly new to this so please bare with me :rotfl )

Thanks.

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I have a question after reading all of the previous posts.
I just purchased wheel spacers(HUB CENTRIC WHEEL SPACERS ¦ 5x114.3 (5X4.5) ¦ 66.1 CB ¦12X1.25 ¦ 1 INCH 25MM) for the rear and 15mm for the front.
I am just curious as to see if anyone else has done a similar application and it went smoothly / correctly? I am worried that for some odd reason the center will be too small even though it is listed to fit my 2012 Infiniti M37. I currently have the stock 18' rims, so if anyone could give me feedback that would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Hello,

I would also be interested in a straight on pic from the front end too.

bringing this back, looking to see what everyones running with their sport wheels. im thinking 15mm in the back based on that fresh alloys post mentioned. stillens website says these dont fit but its a 5x114.3 and 66.2 center bore which matches the M so not sure why?

dang, 20mm all around? ill be interested to see how that looks up front. so its safe to say the ones i posed from H&R will work since they have the same specs as the ones you posted.

It all depends on the suspension and wheel offset. I am on oem springs and 20" sport wheels and 15 mm up front look a hair to far out. I also have the aero bumper which is wider than base or sport. I can only imagine how far out 20 mm would be on all stock car with base bumper.... wouldn't look good imho.

At the moment I am at stock height and am running 25mm spacers all around with the 20" Sport alloys. I think it looks awesome, its definitely aggressive being a hair beyond flush! I will be lowering the car this weekend so it should sink in a little more. I'll be sure to post photos later with before and after.

i have the base front bumper and im planning on leaving the front alone and just putting 15mm on the rear. the back is what needs the spacers bad. they are so tucked under.

The front would bother me as much as the rear if it was hellasunk.

With the square wheel setup it appears to me that the space is about the same front and rear therefor if I'm by using the same size (20mm) spacers in the front and rear; it should enhance the stance equally. Some people run wider rear wheels which would impact the spacers being used. I'm also on Eibach springs for lower stance and I will likely being switching to coilovers in the near future. I'll be documenting and measuring when I install.

I just installed my spacers last week. I went with 20mm rear Andy 15mm front. I think it is the perfect fit. I'm running stock sport wheels with 245 40 20 tires. When they need to be replaced I will move to 275 35 20 and I think they will still fit with no rubbing.

They are the same ones I got for my FX50 here is an unboxing I did.

No rubbing. It's almost perfectly flush at the top. I know it's a little subjective trying to get the perfect pic angle straight up and down. I'm happy with the fit though; now I just need a little more low.

I can assure that he is not poking with 15/20mm spacers. I have the 25mm spacers all around it poked very slightly. I just lowered the cars over the weekend and the wheels almost sit flush with the body. Since i'm running camber all around, the part of the wheel tucks in bit.

25mm at stock height

Be careful as I know some places won't take them back after you've tried/mounted them.

they took them back no problem. i pulled my wheel off and saw there wasnt enough void to make them work. what makes me mad is others with the gunmetal 20 OEM wheels have this void.

Oh ok cool.

Yeah I've never understood that myself...I think Infiniti changed that for any wheels 2012+...if I'm not mistaken most guys who were installing 15mm spacers had 2011 M's...
