Anyone with g35 rims get their wheels to poke out a bit?

So apparently our cars are INCREDIBLY sunken out the factory. Why is it so hard to get our rear flush?!
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone ever got their 18x8 30 offset G35 wheels to poke out a bit? And if so include pictures and thickness of spacers please!
I know 30mm spacers will make it flush to the fender but I want to get a look similar to the "hellaflush" look without the crazy stretched tires and air rides. I'm getting coils soon and i don't mind running a bit of negative camber. Getting new thinner tires can be an option but not anytime soon.

Here are pictures as if right now:
At the moment the rear needs about another inch to be flush and is dropped on Tein S techs







For clarification I'm looking for something like this:

Add 15 or 20mm spacers on the rear and 5mm on the front ... that will push them out but you may start rubbing and perhaps need to have the fenders rolled a bit

Sorry mis-read your thread as you already stated you knew about spacers ... other than increasing the spacers and possibly rolling the fenders I think that is just about the only way to push the tire out further

That's gotta rub.

20-25mm to get the rear flush IIRC on those wheels, someone will be able to clarify, searching should give you the answer it's been discussed recently.

If you want that stance you showed, you're going to need different rims.
Trying to acheive that level of poke out with the G35's is just dangerous. Not to mention you will need to stretch tires, roll and probably pull fenders.

No IRS kinda kills the poke look as no camber would be a tad bit a trouble.... also, going for "hella flush" with Stechs would look extremely corny as you would have poking wheels with a 2 finger gap.....

Not wide enough nor do they have the right offset for what this guy wants and IMO to pull that look off, coilovers are mandatory.

:

Plus as Hustle said no IRS only further complicates the agressive idea.

Just put on a good quality 15-20mm spacer in the rear, and call it a day.
Putting one on the front would be a waste of money, cause you'll never match it at the rear, the stance will still be staggered.
Anything greater than 15mm in a spacer is kind of pushing it IMO, and they shouldn't even be able to sell greater than 20mm IMO from a safety aspect.

If you really want to do any more than that, you need to look at some different rims.

Different rims or spacers. Can't change the offset of the wheels, so don't see what you're trying to do...

I like those Camry's I think they did a really good job with them. That one though... not for me.
I don't like the 'dual exhaust' cutout bumper with NO dual exhaust, that looks even more ridiculous than the Agressive 'RWD' Stance on a FWD Camry.

But that's just my opinion, I think most people would like it cause they wouldn't put 2&2 together and notice all those details, I notice that silly stuff from a half mile away on the highway.
Who knows maybe he put a 2JZ in there

I'm not keeping the s techs. As i said earlier I'm getting D2 coils sometime in the next month. I guess its not possible for the g35 to poke. I'll go with the 20mm in the rear, thanks for the clear up.
