Aftermarket bumpers with stock wheels?

Quick question.

I want to purchase an aftermarket bumper but I'm not sure if it will look too aggressive with my stock 19's ... Looking at either getting the Inven bumper or the K2 Remix. My car is also at stock height.

What do you guys think?

I would highly recommend a drop and spacers. You sure the OEM side skirts will look good with either of those?

I have heard that the Inven does not sit flush with the OEM skirts. I was looking into it myself but it looks like unless I change the skirts I won't be able to run the inven bumper. Correct me if I'm wrong....

I don't think it flows, unless it's nismo.

You need an edgier wheel to do that bumper.

inven was designed to look similar/ resemble the 06-07 sport bumper and it does not sit lower than the stock sides so i do not see why it wont look good... thats just my opinion

K2 Remix
Inven
Nismo

all look good with non sport sides and sport sides and OEM 18's and 19's IMHO

Personally I think a drop would help to pull it off better, but I suppose the bumpers would look fine without it and with just stock 19's.

I have stock wheels with front/sides/rear, I don't think it looks odd at all. G35 19'' rims look a lot better than many other stock wheels I have seen anyways.

adding some spacers to the wheels really does help even if you dont drop the car

Thanks for the pictures and input guys... It's really helpful. Deciding whether to get a front bumper or go with a used set of wheels, but I have a low budget.
