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.

I think a flat roll will be good for your needs. If you are going very aggressive, then yes, rolling and pulling to fit + negative camber

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.

How exactly will it look terrible? Cuz of the larger side walls?
Just have these tires already so wanted an opinion.

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.

Have fun with the 225/45 lol

if they're run flats, really shitty, if they aren't kinda shitty. They're a stiff sidewall and they're a soft tread.

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.

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.
