Hi guys!
I've posted here about a year ago asking questions about my first setup with the VS-XX's. I got all my questions answered and things turned out beautifully! See below:

Now it is time for me to go more aggressive. I am going to go with Luxury Abstract Grassor-C's.
The sizes I am hoping to go with are:
F: 19 x 10 0 offset
R: 19 x 13 -4 offset
Now I know that body work is going to have to be done in order to get those to fit. I'm not a fan of a wide body kit nor am I fan of over fenders. So here is my question:
Can those sizes be pulled off from just merely altering the stock fenders?
Thanks for all the help guys!

First issues you're going to have.
1. The front is much too small, this is going to pose some issues when it comes to tire selection and avoiding raking the car.
2. The the front will be less aggressive than the rear.
3. Do you have a talented roller local? because you're going to need to pull those fenders to the max.
4. You have adjustable rear camber arms? (not crap like SPC, you'll need battle versions)
5. You have a tire shop that is willing to put up with you and your tires? lol
From those specs, for the rear you're looking at running a 285/30, a hefty pull (pretty much maxing out the fenders) and probably about -8 degrees or so.
The front will fit no problem.
I suggest knocking the rear down to a 12 -0x or something like that, you will be able to run a slightly smaller tire (avoid the rake) and be able to get them under the fenders with closer to -6 degrees or so.
If you want to go a head with the 13"s I am more than happy to help though!

Not to sound like a dick here but if you have to ask about this set up... then it's not really for you, it CAN be done but not without a lot of work.

First off, don't worry about sounding like a dick or anything like that. It's all good. I just wanted to get a second opinion, that is all.
I was planning on taking it to a local shop to get the fenders altered and I do have adjustable arms (SPC); however, I was planning on getting new arms anyway. So that's good to know, thanks for the info.
As far as tire shops go, I have hook ups all over town where I can get my tires taken care of.
I'll also take your specs for the rear into consideration as I keep researching.
I'm starting my research and questions now while I budget, so next spring I'll be able to carry out these plans.
Thanks for the help 4DGS, I appreciate it!

Definitely PM me those pictures of the similar set ups! I'd love to get a good idea of what things are going to look like. And, if it's alright with you, can I PM you in the future if I have any more questions? I promise I won't be too annoying haha.

Hey guys, quick question for you fitment gurus.
Two of my wheels need to be refinished, but my stock wheels/tires are in NorCal and my car is in SoCal.
I'm borrowing a friend's Mustang wheels, are they are 17" diameter wheels that are 8" wide and have a +45mm offset with 255/5517 tires. They're meant to be very temporary, and the car just needs to move around a bit in a body shop occasionally. I know that Mustangs have the same bolt pattern as our G35's: 5x114.3.
I'm dropped this low:
*** Will they fit without rubbing with my height?
Sorry.
Thank you for your help!
