Nooooo. That would have looked sick!

i was told on myg37.com that you only needed a 10mm spacer to clear the front brakes but that wasnt true apparently. the rears clear fine without the spacer but i wanted to push them out to match the fronts

i did, those were the ones i was talking to you about over in the wheel/tire questions thread

theyre 19x9.5/10.5 +23/24 so after the 10mm spacers theyre +13/14. i knew they would be close and i read on myg37 that you only needed a 10mm spacer to clear the akebonos up front but unfortunately its not close. so i guess ill be buying a 15mm for the front and hope that it clears the brakes and the fender

not sure, the previous owner didnt really take care of them and never cleaned the backs of the wheels so the stickers are gone

true, guess i didnt think about the stupid bracket making it that much closer they were very close to clearing with the 10mm spacer on but just barely caught the bottom corner of the akebono caliper so hopefully with the 15mm it will be enough to clear

if the fronts were r-disc you would be able to fit them....those aren't really aggressive offsets and i'm having a hard time figuring out whey they aren't fitting

R-disk usually clear big brakes.. I guess the bono calipers run wide..
