650 for rims and tires shipped.
i got the spoiler for 60 painted. i could have gotten it unpainted for 30. was worth it to me.
the jics are stiff, but i rode in my buddy's g35 yesterday and it was the same kind of ride. nothing like stock but being lowered and adjustable is worth it. try loosening the springs...it helped my ride out quite a bit.
i got new rims and suspension, so i'm selling these rims and tires like i said and also the jic coils and i have a set of tein s-tech springs. let me know if anyone is interested.

Nice looking ride bro. Just curious, are you using spacers on the rear wheels? And if so, what size? And any rubbing of the fender well. I have Boze iForged rims, dont know what the offset is, but I'm using 15mm spacers and I rub on the rear fender well and I'm not even lowered. My tires are 245/40/18. I even cut about 3/4 inch off from inside the fender well too.

I had those in ET 40 on my old 18x8 rims and they ran perfect.

Thanks bro, thats what my local CL guys have been telling me, that my tires are a little big and I should get 225s and it would stretch the sidewall and make it more curved vs. boxy, which should give me better clearance. But they dont have ES', they drive SC's and IS', wanted opinions from fellow ES'.

I am no expert, but have discussed this at length with friends' of mine in the trade and they said [in my case] a bigger tire would cause rubbing, etc.
I would suggest doing that, and if there is some meat left on those, you can probably easily sell them since a lot of cars nowadays, are running 18s out of the factory.

yea, definitely go with smaller tires. 225/40/18 is good for the speedo also. i have 15mm spacers in the rear...i cleared with 3mm but wanted more of a flush look. i had to shave the fenders all the way down but now no rubbing unless i slam it. i think 10 or 12mm would be best.
i'll try to get close ups of the rims when i get a sec.
150 shipped for the s-techs. have 4k mi on em.
