Suspension+wheel Idea

I have been doing this along with others on cars for a long time.I would love to do this to the 7th gen as its fenders have such a nice bulge to them.Anyone add wheel spacers to the 7th gen to make the stock or after market wheels push out to the fenders to give a wider stance and balance it out?I would like to add wheel spacers to my stock 19's and a eibach kit and have a nice bull dog stance to it.Take a look at yours now from different angles and see how far they are pushed in.I helped a friend do it to his new PDK porsche and it helped a lot with the look.2 months ago i did it to a stock WRX and it instantly helped with the appearance.

Anyone have some ideas where to find some spacers for the 7th gen and how many turns Min. we can go on the stock lugs and still be safe so we dont have to get longer studs?

wider maxima stance

Another option is to put 19x10's all the way around using the 370z Rays Eng. Rims. I currently have 19x10's Rays engineering rims in the rear with 275 30 r19's and recently swapped one of the rear rims up front to get an idea of what it looked like and if there were any rubbing issues.

The stance looks very aggressive with 19x10's all the way around and there seemed to be plenty of clearance (no rubbing on my test drive). Unfortunately I couldn't leave them that way as I have directional tires and didn't have time to get any pics as it was after dark.

Until I can get the other two rims and rubber, I may try the spacer and longer studs up front but I'm not sure of what size to go with. Any suggestions?

the rear Rays fit on the front, but rub when you turn on the inner side of the fender liner, at least if you're as low as i am.
