Progress Thread: DarksideG35
well i went out to test fit the meisters on the car earlier today and unfortunately with a 10mm spacer on the front they still will not clear the akebonos and i dont want to run anything bigger than a 10mm so needless to say i will probably be cleaning and polishing them up and then posting them up for sale soon. in the mean time heres a test fit pic

thanks man, guess ill find a way to make it work 
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
thanks

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

oh i know, i need atleast 2-3mm of clearance to be safe. and i just cleaned off the inner lip of the rear wheels and theyre O disc, the fronts are more than likely R disc

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
