It's pretty low haha. And I think it'll be pretty flush with some meat as well.

UPDATE!!

Here's the best I can do right now.. Just got them on, a couple days before my vacation to Florida. So all I have are crappy iPhone pics. I'll post more when I get back in a week.

Anyhow thanks a ton to G35man and Konxeptionz for helping and pm ing me back with info on his setup.
Specs 20x10.5 all around. Gloss black center, polished lip.
Running an 18mm spacer in front(to clear brembos) originally bought 15mm all around but it won't clear the brembos up front. So had a custom one made and it clears by about 1mm lol
And 15mm in rear.
255/35/20 general UHP in front
295/30/20 general uhp rear. I like meat on my tires.. Not my women ; )

Rear fenders are rolled and I'm barely rubbing up front. So I'm going to pull the fenders a bit when I get back. Also have a lot more planned for the car as I just bought it as a daily driver a couple months ago.










Pics of my GF and I's G's. Both 6spds ; )

Few more pics



Also installed my new dual slotted rotors and pads.. Since the previous owner warped the crap out of them.
Haven't thrown the center caps on but I actually like them. Might do something custom.. I planned on running some colored tuner lugs... But the ones I bought didn't want to thread right.. Which was pretty disappointing, luckily my shop had a set that fit.. And the chrome turned out to be ok with the wheels..

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Tell me more about the custom spacers. Are they available to the general public and are they from a reputable manufacturer?

Thanks for the compliment. I've got more planned.. Like blacked out headlights or something similar. Might do a vinyl black roof.. And might do something crazy with the interior.. And refinishing(powdercoating) the brembos either red, yellow, or orange lol. Amongst other things

As far as the spacers go I originally wanted some "bolt on" spacers. Like ichiba version 2... That bolt onto your stock lugs and have other studs to mount the rims.. Making life nice and easy.. However after lots of research I found that the original studs would protrud with any spacer under a 25mm. So unless your rims have back spacing for the lugs. It wouldn't work.. After calling XXR. I found they do not have backspacing lol.

So I ordered 2 sets of their version 1. Which requires you to tap out the old studs and pull new ones through. Which was actually pretty easy with air tools..

So I had 15mm all around but with the fronts mounted the wheel barely touched the caliper.. So I talked with G35man. And he said it needed to be 18mm.. (thanks again!)

Anyhow I'm impatient and took my 15mm spacers to a local machine shop and told them to make me ones that were 18mm.. Lol

So $100 bucks and a few hours later I had a perfect copy CNC'd out of aluminum.

Since they were only 3mm thicker I'm still using the studs from the 15mm... Even though I should probably swap them for slightly longer studs.

I'm going to check them a few times a week and make sure they are torques properly until I feel comfortable that it's safe. Otherwise I'll buy some longer studs and swap them. But there seemed to be plenty of thread for the lugs to hold.

I can probably have more spacers made if people want them.. Otherwise if I weren't impatient I would have ordered 20mm ones and left it. Or machined them down to 18mm.
