i followed the directions off this thread.
http://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-s...tallation.html
my experiences were from a 98 LS400 so im sure there are other variables that may come into play for the 3gs
to op - when you ordered, did they say what disc size?
usually, hi disc will clear bbk no matter what the offset. sometimes mid- or low- disc will clear bbk depending on the offset and spoke design. maybe contact the vendor and exchange your set for a hi disc version. that way the wheels wont poke as much

1. To my understanding, when I first seen these rims on this forum from the first vendor they said it will clear BBK, and I didn't ask what disc size...
2. I can't get these exchanged because I got the tire mounted on the rim already, and didn't do a check when I first got the rims in like a fool -___-. BTW the vendor I got them from been great, but the wheel manufacturer was di*king around and I didn't receive these rims after 3 and half weeks. So for me to send them in (if I didn't mount the tire) it would of been forever to get them back...
- Sucks that the +20 fits up front but sits on the caliper still. I only know this because after bolting everything up the car will not move.. SMH.
This just has been one hell of a time just to put some wheels on my car. Im opting to possibly go with a 10-15mm spacer up front? The 20+ lip looks better in the rear due to the wheel lip...

Here is a picture I found online of my rims. Basically where it is hitting is on my caliper on the +20 wheel; at about where the spoke comes up to the top of the curve

Yes both wheels clear the rear with no issues. I wont be able to send them back due to I already had tires mounted on the rim. So im going to have to run a spacer, and hopefully get the correct measurement today to see what I need. Cause +30 will not even sit on the hub fully.

What is the lowest offset you can run on a 20x10 on a 235/35 tire up front?
Do you have to roll your front fenders?
As you guys know i am having an issue 20x10 +30 up front but will not sit on the hubs due to the BBK. Possibly because the design of the wheel. Im thinking of buying a 10-15mm to put up front just to clear these brakes.

Yes, I guess I might have too. I bought some cheap 8mm spacers from a local automotive store, and going to put them up front with my +20 to see if I have clearance, due to the fact the +20 sits on the hub but still touches the caliper. This hopefully will give me an idea of what size spacer to buy for the +30
