Exclamation What size spacers do I use

I have a 2000 maxima lowered with s tech's and blues for now on 19's 8.5 ADR rims. I would like to know what would be the highest (mm) amount of spacer that I could put on it to eliminate the gap and have that flush look and not damage the fender or the tires with no rubbing (perfection is a biach) post links from where you got yours and how much and pictures if you have any spacers on your ride.... I heard H&R's have the best quality and fitting

Spacers make the wheel come further out than the regular stock look right? or am I just sounding stupid?

Yes they do, and I'm not sure if that was a worthwhile post. =\

Like Chris said you're gonna need to measure your clearance and find out. Both H&R and Eibach are very good quality. You didn't mention the tires your putting on those 19x8.5s and that'll dictate your fender clearance along with how lowered you are.

If you decide to put spacers on the front as well as the rear, the front spacers should be 15 to 20mm less than the rear spacers. The rear track is that much narrower than the front track; something to do with the multi-link beam rear suspension.
