Depends on what you're after, what size and offset your current wheels and tires are, etc.

I prefer wheels that fit properly to begin with.

this creates issues with easy tire rotation. Not being to easily rotate them sucks(different offsets, need to actually dismount/remount the tires).

I am not a fan of staggered wheels on FWD, but with the A32 and A33 chassis, even if both the rear and fronts are the same width & offset, the rears will look sunk in.

So, in an attempt not to go staggered, I had to go with spacers.

H&R and Eibach (except I couldn't find 10mm for Eibach). Both are great.

What he said.

I prefer the H&R DRM series so you do not have to exchange studs. I am running 15mm on rear only:

H&R TRAK+ Wheel Spacers
15mm DRM (HR3065663)
Bolts over Factory Studs

I would say I'm kinda new to spacers and having been trying to decide.

4G Max
17x7.5 2008 Maxima rims (think offset is the same as our OEM 40mm)
235/45/17

Thinking a 20mm spacers on the back. But really what is the difference between brands? So some offer something more than the other. All they are, are metal spacers right?
