Put spacers on my ride today

(before and after) In preparation for a coilover install this weekend. My spacers came in early so I put them on, instant improvement. I put 20mm spacers on the front and 30mm on the back, I almost should have put 25mm on the front, maybe 25mm all around even, but I have faith that the coilovers will sort out my concerns. This is just temporary until spring when I intend to get new wheels - so who else has or has had spacers? What sort of maintenance should I do? I've read about checking torque again after a few days. Anything beyond that?

I bought wheels that look exactly like your after picture without spacers, so I cant help you there, but I agree that it definitely looks better than the sunken in the wheel well look

They're stock 19" G35 wheels, is that what you got?

I just read my comment again and I realized it was confusing. I meant that I bought aftermarket wheels that have the same fitment that you have achieved

Looks great! Makes your stance much meatier.

Do spacers put more stress on your hubs/ wheel bearings?

Not familiar with spacer (I know what they are), never used them. What I heard was it creates problems for the bearings. Is this true?

EDIT: just realized someone else asked precisely the same question.
