Have a Question/s About Wheels/Tires/Offsets/Camber/Etc? Ask here::
Where you located? I may know a guy in your area. Going rate for the guys that do it usually $40 ish per fender (and you only need the rears done) some shops I've seen charge $75 a fender though....
I live in Saint Charles MO. The only shop around that i would think can do this would be Fast lanes, or Pure performance.

recently picked up a pair of spacers that are missing the lock nuts that attach the spacer to the car.
i was thinking of getting these, but would they work. the spacer seats are conical.

would I be able to find these conical end nuts at an auto store or hardware store? they need to be short.

Could I stretch Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 on 18x10.5 +20 all around? Currently dropped a bit over 1.5 inches, with 25mm spacers.

Offsets are way too to even be considering stretching.
And the sidewalls are huge. The 245/45s can work but the 225/45s will look goofy mounted on a 18x10.5
I'd personally recommend 245/40 front and rear.

Alright guys I have a '03 G35x sedan, I have heard a lot of bad things about staggered wheels on an AWD but I have an opportunity to put some 18 inch 35th anniversary 350z wheels on it for a good price. What should I do. Is this going to hurt my ride? If not what size tires do I need to not screw up my overall wheel diameter? I believe he has the stock size tires.Pretty sure front its 225/40/18 and rear 245/45/18.5. Help me out here before I let these wheels slip through my hands.

the XXRs for my junker arrived today.
put the 225/45 on them. continental tires, not as stretched as I thought it would be.

yeah I was expecting a lot more stretch.
I got the set for like $480 bucks lol. It sure as hell beats the hellatucked 15x6 Konig wheels that came with the car.
