06 Sedan with WORK VS-XX in GOLD finally on!!!
Well after all the bull**** that arose getting these wheels installed in the space of two months I finally got them on today.

The garage opened at 2:30pm but i couldnt sleep past 7am though it was the weekend. Needless to say a bit of praying and some friendly techs made it all possible in the end. The car is dirty now from transporting the old wheels to my buddies place so pics in high res will be up in a few hours.
Here are some teasers of the wheel and of course the PITA stock vs aftermarket bolts.
I am now running Work VSXX 19" burning gold with 19 x 8.5 +42 offset on O disc (2inch lip). The O disc is the reason I needed H&R 5mm spacers with longer bolts. The front wheels were touching the calipers before the spacer install.
Tires are PS2 245/40/19 and I am not lowered. There is like a 1inch gap now so I dont think I want to touch the suspension. I did get an alignment done as i needed it and will post the before/after alignment scan up too.
A big thanks for help and information to redlude97, Gdup35sedan, ttrank Jason @ Riverside (for the killer deal and shipping on the spacers), (>")> G35, dahkyne, bert039, heyitzalex, perryo5g35, hksjza70 , , , dunglan7, skeleton_cru and anyone else (though im sure i got all of you ).
Way tired now - no breakfast or lunch - pics later.
Thanks everyon.

I was thinking about dropping it as well but after all this hassle with spacers/bolts etc it will be a few months before the drop.

Well its wasn't hard but you have to be careful not to hammer too hard to take out the old studs. Use a rubber mallet and DO NOT let the caliper hand by the brake line. We used old boxes to lay the caliper on.
Another reason I found it hard is cuz my car is under warranty and the dealer is **** enough not to fix any mods on. so having a non-dealer (though reputed) work on my wheel bolts esp was nervous for me.
Its all good though.
