I should be getting my gt-s's the 2nd week of Jan. Chris from F1 is showing the fronts coming in on the 6th. He already has the rears. I too am lowered on the pro-kits & was advised that cutting my rear fenders was required for the offset I chose. I probably wont have pics up until mid-march because of the snow & salty roads up here in MD.

If you get the more aggressive offsets (+17/+18) you will have to shave the fenders. I am running Tein S-techs with 275 tires and had to shave a about a quarter of an inch off both rear fenders for my GT-S to fit.

You only thinking of getting 1?

Why only one, is it a track thing, weight differentials?

And come on now, it's a car forum, you would think someone has them.

Do you know about the search feature that g35driver.com offers.

It's resourceful, I HIGHLY reccommend it.

any good wheel shop or bodyshop can shave em' down for you. as far as road noise, you are gonna be running wider tires, so road noise may be a little louder. it also depends on what brand of tire you get.

here-
the guys at status shaved my fenders when I dropped my car for like $30- but I also bought my wheels and springs from them. no big deal, it took like 20minutes for the guy to do it. as for noise, the T1-Rs dont make much noise at all, i dont know about the '247' s though
