Thank you 907dsm, at least you asked politely... :) wheels are 18x9.5 all around, +22 offset, slightly stretched 225/40/18 tires. No rubbing at all, I can even make U turns without a problem:)

Thats more then a slight stretch, i have 225/35 on my 20x8.5 on my G35 and i think that's stretched LOL

very nice none the less
 
Ha, I said “Slightly stretched” because when I 1st got these wheels I was rocking 215/35/18’s (Didn’t look right), and my friend rocks 205’s on his 9.5” wide wheels on his 3 series bmw (crazy I know), the “Hellaflush” scene out here in the Bay Area is pretty popular so my stretched 225’s are nothing in comparison… and regarding the “Modified front control arms”, if you have money I’d say buy the SPC adjustable control arms (if you can find them) but what I did was purchase adjustable Ball joints (SPC, Tirerack.com still has them, I just bought them last month), turn them backwards upon installation (so instead of positive camber it gives negative), then cut some of the Control arm so the Ball joint can travel back further. Then I welded some support just incase I made the controls arms weak by cutting some off (FYI I only needed to cut about a millimeter off each control arm). There might be a smarter way to achieve negative camber, but this only cost me about $150 for the ball joints and now I can adjust the camber from 0 to -3 degrees (and positive 3 degrees if I flip the ball joints straight)...and thanks for the complements guys, seems like most DSM’er rather clown on each other then support each other so I appreciate the positive feedback :D and “Black_GST” I just bought a G35 also! :thumb:haha

Interesting, as someone just posted something similar on the link forums. Is it similar/the same as this?

And I already have the SPC arms, but was just wondering what other options there are out there :)

Well a lot of "hellaflush" cars are way to extreme, and when it comes to dsm's, most just look dumb! but your car is clean and IMO not over done in the "hellaflush" department.

i bought my G35 early this year its a 05' 4 door MT 6 speed. its a great DD except i wouldn't mind a little better MPG LOL

Yes exactly, But who ever did that cut and weld job did 1000 times cleaner and better then mine, wow... I think i want to re-do mine now. ha... And Black_GST that is crazy I word-for-word the EXACT same G35, 2005, 6spd, sedan ha, mines graphite grey, getting a front lip painted right now to put on. and yeah, better MPG would come in very helpful on those cars, its my DD also...

I think a slammed 1st gen would be sick, so thats what im gonna do to mine is there anyone who can photoshop the lime green aero race wheels on the 1st gen white dsm.Thats the setup im goin for and as far as performance goes I plan to build my car also.i just feel like the 1st gen has a old school look and the aero rims would fit it, I like the evo rims but feel like its over done.The slip streams are nice but hard to come by and the enkeis are to expensive to me most of all I want something differentt that you dont see on most dsm's.
 
Heres one.

Something I rarely ever say, but a smidge TOO low. Also Im not really feeling the wheels and obviously not the side skirts.

EDIT: Actually are those just 2ga talon skirts with a strange glare and no door piece?
 
Here are mine, by no mean's its "hella flush" but i think it looks good, they are XXR 521's 18x9's on 235/45/18's, a bit streched nothing crazy. Had to Roll the fenders because they rubbed. I dont race everyday or weekend so i dont have a problem with them.
