I've been looking for the right wheel spacers and I'm wondering what brand and where did you get yours? M37 and M56 should probably be the same. 2011+. I've read that 20mm work.
Thanks for the feedback.

Any hubcentric spacers should work. I like the ones by OnEighty because they're black.

Not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but here is a step by step DIY from another forum: http://www.freshalloy.com/showthread.ph ... er-install

This is definitely on my to-do list!

If your looking for a flush look, 15mm is probably the way to go. If you want a little poke, 20mm should do the job! This again is on the S wheels. Not sure about the others.

Thanks for advice guys. I do like the look of those Oneighty spacers. Especially if I end up going with the black chrome wheels.

I know this is an old post but I have ran into an issue with my 15mm spacers.

When I removed my wheels I do not have the space between my studs to clear the bolts on the spacer. In th post of fresh alloy he shows a gap between them for clearance.

I am guessing this is an issue with the 2013. Anyone have any luck with a 15mm on 2013 or do I need to do 20?

Most aftermarket wheels have the gaps to fit for extra studs if you use spacers but not all aftermarket wheels do. Same goes for stock wheels. I have had stock wheels with a flat mating surface and you cannot use bolt on spacers with those. You have to use the slip ons with extended wheel studs.

I bought the gunmetal sport wheels and they definitely have a gap like the picture. I haven't purchased spacers yet but I was planning to the 20mm anyways from reading da mayor's post at the other forum. http://www.myg37.com/forums/the-m-spot/ ... stion.html Are your wheels completely flat on the backside or just not quite deep enough gaps with 15mm?

They are completely flat, looks like maybe 2mm of spacing nothing like the above picture.

Was pretty disappointing when I took the wheels off and found the problem. I guess the next step is get the micrometer out and see if the 20mm will clear with these wheels.

Fail 2013

Bummer. I'm surprised they're different. Here's a thought, http://www.ebay.com/itm/INFINITI-M56-M3 ... 14&vxp=mtr.
I'm thinking about this myself.

Reviving this thread….I just purchased the 20" S wheels and was wondering which size spacer worked for you guys? I'm looking more for flush rather than a "poked out" look. Appreciate it!

I haven't got around to spacers yet but I will most likely be getting 20mm from http://www.luceprodukt.com/e/oneighty_b ... _114_3.asp.

Sorry to revive this oldie... I figured it's better than starting another.

@wideopn11, did you wind up getting spacers and what kind / size? Looking at getting some for my rig (running stock 20's with 255 /35 R20's).

Dang, not much in the results column for searching on M56 spacers. I presume from other posts that the M37 spacers should work, like these http://www.andysautosport.com/products/ ... 1466A.html?

I would imagine any spacers made for our bolt pattern should be fine.

I need to get them too...now that I understand how the work (if the wheels have those 'pits' for the stock studs). I didn't want them earlier because of thinking I had to REMOVE the stock studs, etc.

Thanks! I am going to order some this evening. I will post some pics once they're on. Going to go 15 rear and 5 or 10 front if I can find 'em.

I ran 15mm on the front of mine and ended up going with 20mm for a more aggressive fit. I had 25mm on the rear. I highly recommend eibach as they didn't require me to extend my lugs and the fit was perfect with no vibration or other issues

Thanks to all!

I wound up ordering and put 15's on the front and 20's on the back. Running 255 35 R20's.

After install, I had a metal on metal screeching sound from the front. Turns out the rotor cover? (on the back side of the rotor) was partly touching the brake rotor. Quick fix. So far, I like the results of the spacers.

I have Tanabe NF210's being put on tomorrow and will get moar pics. My pics this morning didn't turn out so well due to the morning sun...

Springs on.
15 MM front spacers
20 MM back spacers.

No settling yet... I am guessing a few days and it's going to drop about "a finger width." Love the look, now all we need are some engine mods!
