New wheels but they stick out too much.. sigh.....
I got these rims through a friend with a decent deal brand new! and Ive always wanted gold rims. But the sad thing is they stick out too much both the front and the back. If dropping the car can make it tuck then I will keep them, if not then I might have to get rid of these. If any of you guys know any any 350Z guys or G35 coupes tat want these rims please let me know. I mounted these on like 2 days ago brand new!. Since I dont even know if they fit or not after the drop the car has just been sitting in the garage waiting for some answers from eibach. Here are some pics that I snapped. The rims are
AME Circular Spec Rs 19 by 9, and 19 by 10
I know its ugly with out the drop, but couldnt resist to take some pics. Let me know what you guys think about the wheels sticking out. would it tuck in if i drop it by 2 inches?

do the fronts stick out too? can't really tell in the pic. Are you having problems with your spedometer? The guy that put my old g35 rims on said I would have problems with my spedometer too.
Mine stuck out too so I didn't install them.
I would say these stick out too much though, I wouldn't want that dodge ram on daytons look...
let us know how the drop goes

they were made for 350s of G35 coz the offset is +15
If shaving it down by couple mm would help then it would be great.
they most important issue tat i was worried about was to clear the brakes, which didnt happen, but it didnt clear the car
they told me they can shave it down, but it wouldnt do much.

You know .. those rims will move inboard and be close to flush with the fender after you get the sportline springs on. The rear suspension is really interesting ... when I did my car, the guys at the tire shop thought my rear fender would be sitting on top of the tire when they started lowering the floor jack. They were very surprised the tires move in so much.
You may need to run a little camber (something I personally don't like to do) if those are 275 tires in back though since the offset may not be right.
I think what may look a little off is the fender gap you will most likely have since you are using a "non-recommended" aspect ratio tires.
IMO, use your stock tires when you get your springs installed, then go home and try the wheels again ... you may be surprised!

Depends on the width of the wheel and the tire. +40 with 275 on a 10" is the most aggressive offset I've seen on the 07 sedan. To do a 285 will require more offset (assuming camber is in-spec). If I had a G37 .... I'd go for 295 in the rear.
I guess the answer also depends on how close the coupe is to the sedan.
