No... that's a sticker. Rays has their logo in the forged wheels.

Well got my front tires mounted today. Looks real nice.

I also tried test fitting the front wheels, didn't go so well. The rims are 18x9.5 +7 work vsxx and they hit the brembo's. Looks like I need half inch to clear... Do I put on a 12.5mm spacer and extended studs? The wheels also look like there going to be sticking out of the fender a bit. Not what I was going for...

I was hoping for a rim that was going to be sitting flush with the fender. And being able to take a corner without rubbing. But i didn't take into account that the brakes are wide and will hit when I was looking at offsets. I'm not really into wheels that stick out of the fender like mad.

Alright well the -5 offset in the front is not gonna be anywhere in the realm of what ur trying to do....your gonna need to be running rims that are applicable with bbk which means you need rims with r-disks

I'd suggest staying within the low teens offsets for decent flushness but how low you are gonna be is another factor in fitment also

Will I run into any trouble with this widths offsets on my 05 sedan?

I'm mostly worried about the inside of the front wheel hitting suspension components.

9" front with a 38 offset. And rear would be a 10" 45 offset.

I understand I will need a fender roll in the rear. Will I need to run any negative camber with the rear?

No they're actually hard, hankooks are much softer.

Nanknags run smaller so they will appear a little more stretch. They're just a little noisy, but it's not something that bothers me. My Potenzas were just as loud.

You'll want a spacer up front, the rear SHOULD be good. If not a 3 or 5mm spacer will do fine to correct it. I've run 10 +43 on the back of my sedan.

Ever been to a dealership? Oem Rays 19s are $1200 a piece.

OEM parts are incredibly expensive no matter who made them, the only wheels that have been made by Rays for Nissan have been 18" V1 track wheels, 18/19" V2 track wheels (also the nismo wheels same as v2 track wheels in gunmetal with a nismo sticker worth another $600) and 19" coupe sport wheels. Everything else is Enkei.
