Default Want to keep a stock look but despise the deep inset.

Here's the deal. I want to keep the general stock look with just a slight lowering, but I can't stand the way it sets so far in on the rear. I was thinking about just using a spacer set up, but I'm not sure which type and depth of it. Any tips, suggestions out info? Thanks

Ichiba V2 spacers all around. I would say 18-25mm or so all around. Someone with a bit more fitment experience will chime in, but in the end, yes spacers are what your looking at.

I had 20mm on the rear with stock wheels and it helped but it didnt do too much. Then got 30mm and it did it justice. Im selling the pair btw for 60shipped. Upgraded wheels.

Do you have any pics with them on the car so I can get an idea of how close it will be?

Pretty easy to check that out for your question.

This may not help much since G35's have different offsets from the OEM but it should provide an idea on how 20mm spacers will change the look of fitment. I would take a measurement of how far apart the fender is from the tire and buy a set accordingly. Also, fender rolling is recommended if you plan on doing a flush fitment.

I dont actually. Had the pics on my old phone. But you can measure it like this too. My spacers are a little bigger than a quarter( which is an inch long). Just put the quarter on the part of the wheel or tire that sticks out most. If a quarter is fine than buy 25mm spacers. If too big then get 20mm spacers. If you want bigger than buy my 30mm spacers lol.
