Just lowered the G

I've recently just lowered the 35 (Tein S tech) and i have an ichiba rear camber kit. i like the stance alot but the BBS wheels i picked up are abit small and sunk in too deep for my liking. Thinking i should have gone with 19''s with wider rears and fronts.

Im also considering replacing the aftermarket grill with a debadged OEM one again, what do you guys think? Anyways, thought i would share

give recommendations please

Totally agree with O Hella up there.

Install some spacers and push them out a bit so your wheels are not so tucked. Other then that, I think it looks great.

The bodywork and BBK look great, whether you go with the Gialla or emblemless OEM it will look great either way so you can't lose there. As far as the wheels yes they are pretty tucked, especially in the back you'd have to run massive spacers just to get them to a normal non-aggressive offset. I would sell them and get something else. Best of luck.

Wheels are too small for the stance just as you feared. I'm not a huge fan of spacers but would go for it If finances prohibit changing wheels.

Any move toward a more flush vice tucked look is win IMO.

Those wheels don't look great like the rest of your coupe, sell em and get some aftermarket wheels here on our MARKETPLACE in 19". The sides need to be clear, black doesn't work with your color. You've got alignment issues covered out back, how about the front end? Keep the grille, looks good....

The Camry had a sport package that came with BBS wheels?! o__O Name wise I know it's called the BBS RK, and I don't think the Camry ever came with any sort of BBS wheels.

Anyways OP, I love those RKs. Did you buy them new or used? Here in CA they're pretty common on Craigslist for BMWs (5x120) but rarely do I see a setup for 5x114.3, let alone for a G35.

Yea theCamry's came with the 18in BBS rims. It was part of the special edition package. I only know cuz my friend has that camry with the bbs rims.
