yeah concerned about that too but some of the factory wheels on the FX are 18's

course they have 3 miles of sidewall too which helps to fill the wheel wells

yeah I know it's just what I could do with photoshop. That's why I'm looking for a pic of something like this already being done for a realistic idea of how it may look.

Matter of fact I wouldn't even want them that damn big

sweet any m ore pics of that ?

what size tires are those ?

may look more like what I want if it had a smaller and more low profile tire. I want the sports car look on on an FX with a factory appearance wheel. The FX I'm looking at is exactly like this one. Maybe I should just get a lower profile tire on these wheels, and lower it ??? And tint the front windows of course. The one I'm looking at also has the peanut butter interior and the tech package.

I'll see if I have other pictures. The tires are 285/45-19 and 295/45-19. The suspension there was probably H&R springs, cut in the front with the spring mount in the back shaved down.

Black and brick is pretty cool. You get a black headliner.

oh yeah brick. I think PB is on 350z's ?? The light gray interiors do nothing for me in the FX.

what springs would put the fenders just above these factory wheels ? Eibachs ? How's the alingment with springs on the FX ?

future appearance mods will include blacked out head/tail lights and silver roof rack bars ? How much are those parts ? And lower profile tires.

I may also consider getting some side nerf bars and a front grill bar ??? Sound crazy with thos other mods ? I saw an FX with them here and though that looked cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaoJJTcyIHc&NR=1
