    look like G35 wheels...... nice man. looks good on the drop but i'd bring the front down just a hair to close that slight gap it has at the moment. :waytogo:

    the wheels are from a G35X, which is the 4 door model. if they had been from the coupe, the offset would be perfect. next on my to do list, if i cant get the other truck that ive been waiting on, is the body. mostly the front end. i might end up getting a whole new body cuz mine is pretty rough. as far as lowering, i'll need to tub front and rear. i could remount everything thats on my inner fenders to my firewall and cut those out, but it might get crowded and i want it to look clean. i can still bring the back down a little though and i plan to soon. oh, and just a little note, these wheels are really heavy and slow my truck way down
