Default New wheels (new to me anyway..)

riding around ~50 miles a day on flex's lower than intended tein specs can be harsh. esp with stockies on 225/50/16's(its not easy riding slammed on the daily soooo, my co-worker was about to get some new wheels for his g35 so i decided to take his previous set of privat netz at a price i couldnt refuse. the rear tires are not the right size AT ALL because the g35 has huge wells.

F 19x8 +30 235/35/19
R 19x9.5 +25 275/35/19

I had to roll ALL the fenders and do a few camber/ toe adjustments out back to make those fat *** tires fit while i wait for my 265/30s to get here. i plan on going with a 225 up front with a spacer and grabbing some rear spacers as well once i slap on the 265's out back. ill post some nice pics when i get a chance, but here are some quick shots i took today with the tele.


:::::EDIT:::::
BETTER PICS ON PAGE 2!

Both are low as hell. End of story.

Nice car, OP! The spacers should do some good.

im sure 4play will agree, i just pay attention to the road at all times(no gangsta lean) and trust me, when you ride slammed.. you remember the roads of the places you go pretty frequently. bottoming out is just something that you gotta deal with, and skating on the frame(you dont wanna see my frame..)
