Looks great!

Awesome fitment. It would be good if you could get the front a tad lower!

I like it !! I would had got the lower vossen offsets but didn't want to stretch tires but since you pulled it off now I'm considering this maybe a 275 rear though

285 is fine, you just have to move the bumper bracket like i showed in the pictures, I am not sure if thats a must for running 275. personally the 275 30 side wall was a little small and 275 35 was a little to big. for me 285 30 is perfect. but I have tanabe in the rear. with my old Eibach the 285 wouldnt fit.

I wish I could lower the front a little more. but eibach is the lowest you can go keeping the stock ride.
this is a daily driver for me.

Why does everyone say that, "daily driver etc.", as an excuse to not slam the car, mine is a daily driver also and I am on Tein S-Techs, just cause it's a daily driver doesn't mean you can't be lower than Eibach, LOL.

I guess the word daily driver gets used as an excuse but I like to ride softer and any other spring that gives me the possibility of going lower has stiffer spring rate. the best setup is softer springs and sway bars, so when you drive straight it feels smooth over bumps and stuff and on turns you eliminate your body roll. it all comes down to personal choice. I am not a big fan of completely slammed, at least not on a G37.

I hear you. Got the same spring set-up and will be getting new sway bars for my coupe this summer The slammed looks good in picture but I don't want to deal with the added issues it brings.

Now you're talking, personal choice is the reason not "daily driver" and I couldn't agree with you more that it's personal choice. I guess like everything we do to our G's there is always an upside and a downside, it's up to us as individuals to balance the two. BTW your car looks sick with them wheels, slammed or not

Those look amazing man. How much did the wheels cost you if you don't mind. PM if you want.

BTW I think you can pull the rear fenders a little it will look amazing.

Props for getting an aggressive offset and good size tires like that to fit. Are Tanabe rears lower than Eibach rears? I have Eibach all around.

It was special order for the offsets but I got a special on them for the same price as regular offsets. I got them around $1800 shipped. I dont know if thats the usual price for those offsets or they just made me feel good by saying that I got a deal. I think it shouldnt be that much more. its not like they made those offsets specific for me. I think the 25 30 its what the 350z or 370z uses. the price should be around what I said regardless.

Andy but he is not a vendor anymore, and I dont recommend him. I had to go to the distributor and complain and finally got my wheels. he never put in the order at first. the wheel distributor in Arizona. the best way to do it is to call vossen and ask them for a list of their dealers, then take some legit ones and start calling around. for me it was cheaper to buy from Arizona and have it shipped than the local dealer they had. the local dealer said he cant even match the price and didnt bother. that is without tires though, just to be clear. lol
