I looked on seibons website and it looks like he had 10mm wider fenders. Will the rims still be able to work on oem fenders???

Front rim is 40mm closer to the fender over stock
Rear rim is 13mm closer to the fender over stock

I would need to know how sunken in the factory wheels are, but overall out look is that the fronts are way different, which leads me to believe that he does have wider front fenders, and or camber.

there pretty sunken, I'd say about the same or more than factory 17" on a coupe. I knee the front offset looked low but I thought it would fit because he had pics on them on his car that looked perfectly flush. Now that I'm studying the picture it seems he has seibon cf fender that are 10mm wider but are painted oem color. I only realized that after the fact because I see the fenders have a vent like the ing+1 for a g35 . How much camber would be needed to get them to fit if there was room for 25mm spacers on oem rims?

My honest opinion is I know how Riley fits his wheels, these look ultra flush with the 10mm fenders so to fit this on a stock fender might be tough.

Shiet!!! I want these wheels so bad! So with the 10mm wider fenders it should be super flush correct? He did just text me back confirming he had 10mm wider fenders but he says he had the rims before he had the fenders. I just don't want to get the wheels and they stick out a crazy amount up front. I could get the 10mm wider fenders for 672 but then I need to get them painted and installed so I'm looking at another 1k atleast.

So is what you are saying is guys run 25mm spacers on stock wheels to make them flush? If so that would bring the stock wheel to an offset of +30 on a 7" rim. So in theory the wheels are sunken about 1".

^ That is regarding the factory wheels. So the stock 17's would be about 1" sunken from factory.

Fronts- compaired to a stock wheel with a 25mm spacer 7" rim with a offset of 30 now
Vsxx is going to be 21mm closer to the fender than the stock wheel with spacer.

I would have to say, that these will fit since you are not slammed. If you were to slam it you would have to run serious camber on the stock fender, and probally still a little bit with the 10mm fenders.

This is also all relative because tire sizes come into play, with streching tires to fit.

I am not sure on this calulation as I could not find it right now, I think I remember something like every degree of camber is the equlivent of 5mm clearance. I am not positive on that tho.

I'm going to have to stop by after work one day so you can get an idea with the car infring of you. I really want these vs-xx's. I already have a down payment on them. I'd be willing to drop the car on h techs until I can afford the 10mm wider fenders and Tien coils.

so if you calculations are right, by adding 2 degrees of camber up front and streching the tires a size or two down I could make them work on oem fenders...

the easiest way to know is if you measure how sunken the oem wheels are so you know how much space you are working on

the rear should be fine but the front is gonna be tough, you should get those fenders though, it would look so sick!
