Hey, guys,

Thanks a lot for the compliments!

Unfortunately, I don't know the offsets. I just had Stillen do everything. I'll ask 'em what they used. I was told by someone else that I could've gotten a lot more lip on both the front and rear with different offsets, though. I don't know WHAT offsets would have worked. Stillen, I think, is pretty conservative and they make sure everything will be safe...

For example, I have 265's in the rear, not 275's like a lot of people are running. No rubbing issues anywhere. Tires are front: 245/35/19, rear: 265/30/19, Nitto 555 Extreme.

I just have the Eibach Pro-Kit on there for lowering.

Oh, another thing to note about the wheel setup... My salesperson said he asked the techs to line my tires up flush with the body. This looks nice, but when I go over puddles, it kicks water all over the side of my car, which I rather don't like...

Cdogg the eibach drop looks GREAT!! But i needed something with a sportier drop and ride, but your drop even looks larger than mine?? I have no idea, also how can they make your tires flush? I know the wheels can be but w/e lol, looks great either way.

CDogg can we get some more pics of your car.

I love those wheels, and can you find out the offset from stillen.

thanks,

The offset is usually stamped somewhere on the wheel....but sometimes on the inside. Check and see. I too am curious as this is the wheel I have always wanted on my car, and yours looks right...especially with the Eibachs which I also have.

 

Here are some more pics. I emailed Stillen about the offsets, but haven't heard back yet. I'll let you know when I do. I'll see if I can take a peak around the wheels tomorrow.

I think the CF hood would look sweet on a silver car, that is if you want to go for the agressive look. After all, isn't that why most people don't paint their CF hoods? Look at it another way. What color cars do gunmetal wheels look the best on? If gunmetal goes, CF probably does too.

Thanks again for the compliments, guys!

Martin: I love the SC. It feels great, sounds great, and really kicks it up a notch. I realize that other SCs and TT's could provide significantly more power, but I don't want to deal with all the tuning and such to get it running safely. I just went with Stillen since it is more of a straight-forward system. It's certainly satisfactory.

Anonymous and Martin: I was afraid the CF hood would look silly on my car unpainted. I'm not really into the aggressive look. But once it was on, I thought it matched really well with the black. I've seen other cars (not G35's) on the street that are red or white with CF hoods. I think CF is generally considered really cool, so the contrast shows it off. You can paint CF, if you'd like.

The reason I have the CF hood is for that bulge--which provides the necessary space for the Stillen supercharger.
