There's nothing I don't like about it. I like it all. The reason I got rid of my Y was because I had an excessive exhaust leak. Turns out it was probably due to the fact that the rear end of the Y is a 3" opening going into a 2.5" opening. I will most likely have to go with something similar but need to have it custom fitted (Y end welded to the mid-pipe opening) so I won't get the leak anylonger.

Hey G35papa - any shots of the HKS from the driver's side? I just want to see how far it sticks out. I have the Nismo rear...and my stock bumper basically swallowed my stock exhaust. I've been hearing that the HKS doesn't stick out much farther...and it would be shame. I want an HKS for the sound/performance, but not if it means my muffler tips will be tucked in.

Thanks in advance!

I sure like the aero body kit. Is there a front lip for the 03-04 sedans?

Stillen and Wald make a lip for the standard bumper.

The best looking kit is still the aero.

What offset are those rears? They look like they stick out past the fender.

Chico, That is correct. They are +40 all around. I was also searching the forums and came across this statment you had posted:

"Definitely,100% positive you will have to roll your fenders and dial in negative camber if you use the minimum required tire size of 275/30/20. If they tell you that it'll fit without any modification, ask them to put it in writing and to pay for your fender roll if needed. The blue sedan they posted clearly has the fenders rolled, yet they claim nothing was done to the car."

You had mentioned this several times, however, it looks as if you are wrong. Here is direct proof that the +40 offset will work all around on the G35 Sedan. My customer, username, "LILShiraz" can vouch for me as the picture listed above is his vehicle. Thank You.

EDIT: "LILShiraz" is also running the following tire sizes : 245/35/20 & 275/30/20.

Regards,
Mitch

this is correct, i personly purchased the wheels and tires form AutoMotiveMods and these wheels are +40 offset all around, i did not need any type of modification, i did not have to roll the fenders or anything.
AutoMotiveMods is a great seller, and i am looking foward to doing business with him again. love the product!!!

Look Mitch...I don't care how much you try to discredit my statements but the fact remains that a 10" wheel with a +40 offset with a 275/30/20 tire will rub and I don't care what you or your customer says. Try putting two adults in the back seat and ask him to go for a ride, over bumps, ramps and a few turns and let's see how long the tires will last, not to mention the paint cracks on the outside of the fenders.

Your beef with me is that I keep calling you out on your poor technical advice. I challenge you to ask anywhere on this board how many people I've helped with fitment on CUSTOM MADE WHEELS that are worth 4 times the sevas, and ask them if the wheel and tire specs I provided for them based on their suspension and driving styles were wrong?

Don't waste your time trying to convince me or the others that those wheels fit properly, because clearly they don't.
