Aggressive not found...get some lower offsets. Throw some 15-25mm spacers on them and then post your pics up.

wow...the G guys still have alot to learn about aggressive fitment

key rule about wheel fitment....

IF IT DOESNT RUB...ITS NOT A LOW ENOUGH OFFSET!!!

heres a few of my car...
1993 S13 coupe
rolled and slightly pulled fenders
FRONT: 17x9 +0 hotwheels sixtyeights 215/40/R17
REARS: 18x10 +11 SSR MS1s 225/40/R18 (im waiting for my front MS1s to arrive from japan...should be here in about 2 months...theyre 18x9 +12)





with all 4 hotwheels on (all 4 rims use to have 225/45/R17s on em...couldnt fit em right...too bulky)

well you are also running smaller wheel widths than he is!!
for a 10.5, i would expect 0 or lower, like you have.

Like what offsets should I get?

and when you talk about spacers, you mean front and back right. I dont know if I will be able to re-order the wheels with the new offsets so what spacers should I put in the front and rear?

honestly...dont get into messing around with lower offset wheels or spacers until youve done a fair amount of research on how to FIT them (you fit the car to the wheels...not the wheels to the car)...i dont know what its like in G35 land...but im guessing its similar to 240sx land...youre going to HAVE TO roll your fenders to even get near having good "flush" fitment...also youre going to need to run AT LEAST +15 to +10 on a G/Z to get the wheels to sit flush with very little camber (you guys have some fatty rear fenderwells)...also youre going to need to stretch your tires like whoa for any kind of good fitment (the biggest i recommend running on a 18x10 or even 18x11 is 235/40/R18...and thats still kinda bulky to get your wheels flush)

if youre interested in learning about wheel fitment...go hit up www.zilvia.net and look thru the WHEEL FITMENT ***** THREAD...its located in the main chat section...ALL types of wheels with TONS of different offsets and fender setups...personally i perfer rolled and lightly pulled stock metal...looks VERY clean...but if youre going for the HUGE wheel + performance setup...youre going to need over fenders and such

Thanks for the advise. I'll do my homework then.
