Not before me !!!!

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. The spacers arrive tommorow.

 

i agree with smokinmax, they definately look better than the G35 wheels...and please drop that baby soon...

 

Here's the thing...she is already dropped 2 inches in the front on Eibach springs!!

Because of the huge +50mm offset, she looks higher than she is because the wheels are so freakin' tucked. I will remedy that with wheel spacers soon...

Remember, tucked = bad, flush = good...unless of course your wheelwells go below the shoulders of your tires.

Mine currently don't. So wheel spacers here I come.

 

Absolutely love the new wheels! They look awesome on your car. I've always been partial to white vehicles though...I think they'd also look nice in a slightly darker silver like the G35 19's.

Fastmax's car will be my twin once he puts the 18" coupe wheels on!

 

well that day is coming my friend... the countdown has begun!!!

hurl3y your ride looks so sick!!!!!!

 

Looks badass do not change a thing!

you know whats funny if you black them out like that it will look like there is no spokes when your moving

 

Well folks,

I was hoping to put the wheel spacers I got in the mail on today but...

It turns out you have to remove the existing studs and replace them with the studs provided in the wheel spacer kit.

The dealer wants $360 per wheel. Midas wants $200 for all (4) wheels (don't think they know what they are getting into).

So it's RMA time and now I am going to order part # 90.4.25.019.4.

This is a truly bolt on wheel spacer. It is 25mm thick so hopefully I won't have to roll fenders. I don't think i will...barely.

Here is some info...

With my existing wheel/tires the fenders are .75 inches from the top shouder of the tire. I have about a inch of compression before it will hit if it was even/flush with the wheelwell.

I firmly believe 25mm is the max I can get away with (might need to roll the fenders a bit).





Here is a 20mm wheel spacer from the side-measured.

 

Replacing studs isn't a big job really...

I went with 60mm NISMO studs on my first 20's because I wanted spacers.

They sat perfect and I had enough stud bolt left to feel comfortable driving.

DO IT THE RIGHT WAY! Don't just ad a "Disk" and keep stock studs. I think they're 30-35mm.

 

Really, according to the dealer, Midas, and other places you have to take off just about everything to finally get to the backside and pound out the studs. At least 2 hours of work for 4 wheels.

Another reason I'm going this route is they can be taken off a sold later on. The "disk" is hubcentric and of high quality I'm told (Eibach). I also believe after doing measurements, the car can handle a +25mm offset with 8 inch wide wheels. I want them as flush as possible without rubbing.

 

Hurley thankyou for the good feedback. Im glad you liked the wheels. I've gotta admit that im jealous. They look better on your car than they did on mine
