it is a direct bolt on. i didnt need any modification of any sort. it was just a few nuts that you have to take out to remove the light and do the opposite to put the new lights on

I recommend a 20mm spacer if you want them flush or 25mm if you want them ultra fresh assuming you will be using adjustable coilovers & camber.Your wheels are pretty sunk in.If you compare my 18x8.5 +25 to your 18x8 +40 then we got a 21mm difference.Im surprised you cleared the struts actually.
Car is looking good.I really miss my ES300.That is why I dont come around here so much since I sold the dam thing.I wish I had sold my IS300 instead. Now all I do is hang out in the s2k and skyline forums.Good luck on your project.
Here is how it will look with a drop.

i ended going with some 25mm spacers (with the thanks to charley240) and it made the wheels fit a lot better. Still need to dump it, but that will take me awhile to save up.

These are actually not the wheels alleycat orginally bought. I think alleycat had the silver version and mine are polished. The offsets on these are +40 on a 18x8 so its pretty sunken in but pics dont really show it. I wanted a more agressive offset but was tired of waiting for the right ones to appear. I'm only a few mm away front my rear struts right now.
The only reason that i was able to afford these was due to them being used and i picked them up for fairly cheap. I'm hoping to be slammed on some jic or tein coilovers in the next year. The gap right now is an eye sore.

But anyways if anyone else is looking for a cheap set they have one in 18x7.5 +40 for $725 + $80 shipping

If anyone gets those just buy Kics 25mm spacers and you will be good to go.Those spacers have built in studs so they are mega easy to install.
