With your old (new) sport rims -

This is kind of a rare scenario, but for us G35 guys that may go with the Akebono BBK, will need new wheels to fit them.

Personally, I would get the G37 Coupe wheels - but your Sedan sport wheels could be a good pickup for someone as a track set of wheels to use with a BBK?


Or sell them separately to 07+ guys with the BBK. I know a few guys were having trouble finding a spare tire that would fit the BBK (no G37 coupes wanted to sell!)

 

The Akebono's will actually fit with the old sport rims... all you need is at least 10mm spacers in the front and that will provide you with enough clearance to clear the calipers. The rears will fit without spacers. I'm runnng 20 mm spacers all around with my fctory 2008 sport wheels and there's plenty of clearance for the Akebono's.

 

2G do you have pics? I really wanna do Akebono + 20mm spacers + Mild drop

Thanks.

 

I plan to take some new pics today and post them tonight of the car after the drop with the Tanabe springs (I just installed the spingson Saturday and haven't had a chance to take pics yet). Send me a PM when you get a chance and I will send you a link to the thread with the new pics once I post them.

 

Can't wait to see the pics Adrian.

 

Headed out now to find a flat parking lot to take some pics in.

 

OK, finished!!! Here are some pics with everything mounted up. When I get more time I will edit some pics, and post some on photobucket. I will also give more details on exactly everything I did. Enjoy for now. I am!!!

 

Wow looks really good!

 

That is sickkkk....great job bro

 

very nice, very nice. those wheels are 100% WIN! i think you now have motivated me to throw mine on

 

Wow! Looks great, man... Those wheels look great on your LP!

 

out of curiosity, how much clearance do you have b/w the rear caliper and the spokes of your wheels

 

Niceeeeeeeeeeee

Just felt like editing some pix of yours, hope you dont mind

 

Good job Robby!
