BTW, I don't really understand what you are going for here. The overall "flushness" of the wheels is really limited by the front wheels. I don't think I would want my rear wheels sticking out that far if the fronts can't be anywhere close to the same.

Im lost... whats the point of posting this if youre not going to provide everyone with details so they can take the information and produce from it their own mods...? If youre going to post a thread on something man do it! Show some complete vehicle shots, how it was done, specs, whatever. Otherwise I for one dont beleeeeb you!

It looks like a wide spec wheel with high offsets.

Still wishing for some LE's to show up at my doorstep.

oh the test fit was for sure. (since i was doing the test fitting haha)

we just grabbed a wheel and did the fitting real fast. (it was getting dark and i had barely gotten home from work)

we wanted to see what kind of "issues" we would come across and now we know. you guys will see johnny's car soon. thats why the pics were teasers.

im gonna guess 19x10.5 +22 in the rear

just out of curiosity... did you modify the fenders at all? was it difficult? i want to stick with the stock 18's for now but i would like to space them out once i lower the car. i would like to roll/cut the fenders to get it as flush as possible. i'd like to know what method has been tried and how it worked out.

Can you post pics of the entire car? Are they 9.5 in the rear or 10.5? I wish they had a 10. Because that would be a perfect setup. 9.5 is kind of to small but 10.5 is to big.

No way it would be +22 offset. It would have ALOT more lip if it was +22.

This is Mike Wasser's G35.



19x9.5 +22 Front / 19x10.5 +22 Rear.

^^ the LE's are different in "lip" compared to a TE since the TE wasnt really made to have one anyways. it all depends on size and offset which will let the TE have a "lip"

The LE is the TE. LE was produced as "Limited Edition".

The limited being polished lip. Same wheels.

This picture is taken from the Mackin' Industries website. Take a look at the "lip" on the Bronze TE37's. Probably the same specs as Mike's G35.
