Never mind, I just test fitted a 3mm spacer and it clears the calipers![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I relocated the front fender tab, and shaved the rear fenders. I still have not rolled the front's but i took it out for a spin, and there was absolutely no rubbing at all! Very surprised since i have 9.5 +25 offset on the front.
I think all these rubbing issues are from ppl slammin their rides
no gap is just fine for me
back is a little sketchy though. I lightly rub over bumps, and I'm scared of bowing my rear fender. so i may get a camber kit for the rear. But no problems in the front.

That looks good! But if you are having caliper issues you can put the wheel on without the spacer and see where it rubs and then take an angle grinder and grind off a little and then repaint them.
Also another trick you can take the wheels to a machine shop and they can lathe a small notch where the calipers meet. But none the less that looks really good, take some more pics of that bad boy

I have not had my alignment done yet. i'm going to wait until after i get my camber kit. will i be able to get the toe close to stock or will i have to buy the toe arms to get toe close to stock?

so after 12 weeks i finally got my wheels back from WheelFlip I had the rear wheels rebarrelled from a 10.5" down to a 9" The plan was to use them on the front with 225/35. i put them on and it doesn't clear calipers. the disk were different sizes that i was not aware of. so it completely messed up my plans.
so i just worked with what i had, and put the 9" on the rear with 245/35 and move the 9.5" up front with the 225/35 It ended up all working out. other then can't go as low as i would like in the front due to 9.5 wheels rubbing on the fender/bumper bolt even after relocating. I'm happy with how it turned out. Only thing i will change is using 225/35 on the rear wheels as well to get more lip.

Dang..I read that whole thing. That's crazy, I just bought an 06 sgm is350! Picking her up on saturday and I couldnt be more excited. I came from an 08 civic slammed on buddy club coils and camber arms with rpf1s. Welcome from a previous honda owner(:
