Yea might look even better with spacers. SCs can easily run low offsets

If you sell those wheels pick up g37 wheels they are lower in offset and you won't need the spacers ..

That last pic looks good bro, now you need to Nano skin that car, and finish up with some Opti-coat for a lusterous shine!

Well i found these at a dirt cheap price and don't see the g37 wheels much for sale. Next wheels will be legit though, with massive lip

Haha I know but black so hard to keep looking nice all the time since I drive it everyday. Its been buffed has a layer of sealant, glaze, and wax but i feel like it still needs more. Rock chips are killing my front

Jimmy, nice old car...and michael nice new car! lol. I noticed the 92-95 lip was modied to fit the 97+bumper. Hey one thing If I may suggest for a cleaner look...the section where the lip mod shows, you could hide it nicely if you smooth and plastic dipped the entire thing. Afterwards you won't be able to notice.

good job fellas!

Haha thanks jimmy ive been trying to find you on the forum and figured out why your car was dieing before and why the clock never worked. Needed a new alternator. Found out the hard way by car dieing. The car looked great before when you had it on the works!
