I've got 17mm Ichiba spacers in the rear, about 2mm from the lip (pics don't really show it that well). I'm on the fence for front spacers, a bit worried that I'll be banging the inner fender pretty regularly

Thanks! The caliper logo is a decal, search "infiniti caliper sticker" on Ebay

So you even got spacers? wow can't really tell! BTW by looking carefully at your pics you could have gone with 1" wider rims easily in the front and in the back, with a slight stretch of tires, which would look really nice and still very safe. I wouldn't worry about hitting the fender, you won't have that problem, maybe inner plastic wheel liner front being too low but that won't hurt anything, you're not that slammed to damaged anything badly.

I'll post a better side shot, those pics don't really show the rim to fender clearance. Right now I sorta like the staggered stance, but that could change, lol. I like the hella-flush look, but I'm happy with it as is and I think I'm risking a little less damage over the long haul

Yeah, it's pretty low. The B&G S2 springs I purchased were for the 07-08 G35s, my 09 G37 w/ the 7AT weighs about 150lbs more so the front dropped about a half inch further than advertised. I'm at 25.75" to the front fender lip. Just about the perfect drop IMO since the back is a bit higher for a slightly raked look.

I am liking everything except those headlight overlays!! I am guessing you got plasti dip on the grille! You better off using some regular spray paint!

I mentioned a bit earlier in the thread that I'll be painting the headlights in the near future (removing the overlays), and I'll be vinyl wrapping the grill too. PlastiDip is OK but a total PITA to try to clean, plus I like the gloss look, so yep to all your comments
