Awesome. Well done, man.
Rears look totally perfect. Fronts are tucked a little in comparison in these pics.

thelimit~post up some closeups of those wheels if you can 
Also did you have decent caliper clearance up front?
Doing all those upgrades at once, especially the sways and sticky wide tires must have been quite dramatic, bet you're loving the drive now!

Thanks for the praise - it really means a lot to me. It also helps me justify to my wife why it was necessary to spend all that money on my car 
@blnewt - I ended up using +38 in the front and +45 in the back, as per your original suggestion. Thanks again! I'll take some more pics and post them to the FAT tire thread in a couple of days.
@Lego_Maniac - I hate myself as well, but that's an issue for my therapist
Seriously, though, so far I am very happy with the PSS. I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, but I feel more secure on turns. I haven't had it long enough to really make a definitive judgement, but so far they are awesome. I do feel the road much more, but that is also probably due to the stiffer suspension as well. But I actually like that feeling, so it's actually a good thing for me.
@Rochester - I agree. I could have probably gone with the +25 offset, but I was worried that it would rub the fender if I hit a bump.
@Gawd - that was the intention. I liked the fact that they resembled the stock Enkei's but were more slender and far less shiny without going black.
@blnewt (I'm going in order of the posts) - no problem with the brakes at all. There is plenty of clearance. The only issue I had was when I first changed the wheels I didn't notice the little "don't put the rear tires here" nub in the front. Once I realized what it was and removed it, the wheels went on perfectly. And yes, I have to confess, I really do love looking at my car now. I originally almost didn't buy the car because I hated the wheels. I had a 2007 G35S sedan before this and I liked those wheels (the 7 double spokes) but when that got totaled (long story) it was those duck-feet wheels on the 37s that almost turned me away. So I decided at that time to get the car, deal with the ugly wheels until the tires wore down, and then get new wheels and put snow tires on the factory rims.
Speaking of the G35S, is it me or is the exhaust note on the G37S a bit tamer? I loved the sound of my old G35S.
