Yes, Rochester, I suppose I am. I live (and work) in a middle/upper class suburban neighborhood therefore you see stock G sedans left and right, so I think any G that's lowered and sitting on a tasteful set of 20" wheels will attract attention in this area. IMO, the GT-R wheel looks great, and I think many have and will agree with that, which is why I assumed that those looks were complimentary.
Honestly... TO ME, you're coming off as a sarcastic ***** with your doubts based on the "inescapable conclusion" you've reached.
You may be "contributing your opinion" which is fine, whatever, but some positive insight would have been more appropriate.
It's a work in progress, and If you don't like what I am trying to achieve, buzz off.
There it is. 
I'm not trying to be mean-spirited, 11SAPG37, I'm simply contributing an opinion to your thread that happens to run contrary to your best ambitions. Even you have to agree, Newt here has nailed non-OEM wheel fitment. It's a bullseye.
Here are two thoughts to put it in context: One, I still have OEM duckfeet, so what do I know? (LOL) And two, those GTR rims look absolutely fantastic from a flat, perpendicular, side-profile, 18" off the pavement.

I've written more than a few compliments here, as well as some constructive (albeit off-topic) advice. If you want to focus on perceived negatives, that's your prerogative. But be reminded that your originating post asked for strangers to let you know what they think. There were no constraints insisting on positive validation only.
You're way out of line here, boss. Dial it back, please.

I'm not a bad guy, OP, so whatever your reasons are for calling me a ***** are your own. But as a general rule of behavior, people who seek attention are not well served by being thin skinned.

Why did you start it, then? Because you didn't say specifically, except that you were hoping to get attention. (Which isn't paraphrasing, BTW.)

Exactly why I made this thread, though. attention......

Your alignment didn't change the fact that it still sticks out an inch. It still does not look good riding low rider style with those wheels sticking out that much. Is it not hitting your quarter panel on big dips? I can't tell if its the picture or the reflection that looks like the lip of the quarter panel is rolled/bent. Can you take more pictures?

Yes it did. They adjusted to -3.4 camber which brought it in significantly. I still would like it more tucked, however, the look doesn't bother me.
Actually I noticed recently that when I go over large bumps the wheel goes into the the fender. It's when I go over slight bumps or imperfections in the road that it rubs if there is weight in the rear.
No roll/bent fender, it's a reflection from the street.
No pics yet.

Tough little sedan. The flared fenders come together nicely with that aggressive side-sill.OP, it looks like you did the Sport bumper swap on your Journey. Did you swap in the Sport side-sills, too?

I'd rather swap my 285's for 275 or 265's, add some coilovers, GTM supercharger and call it a day with the 2k I saved, lol.
It would be cool, but I'm sure a reputable body shop would charge a pretty penny for that..
