We had to do some minor trimming of the inner fender liner, and the bumper bracket...nothing major. Now it doesnt rub at all.

The rear offsets were a 22, which is an aggressive fitment for a 9.5 inch rim on the G37 rear.

We are looking forward to trying out the Eibach, and see how those sit.

I know it's just personal opinion, but I always felt that gold looked best on black and white cars. I havent seen many gold wheels on red cars before....so I can't really visualize it.

+1. I prefer gold on black and white. Not a fan of gold on red.

Looks great though. Nice job.

Okay, time for my report. First I can say the car looks amazing, the pictures just don't come close to doing it justice. The H&R springs ride very nice and thanks to Sharif and Dylan, there is no rubbing. That being said, it is lower than I would have liked, but better too low than too high. I may explore the possibility of using some kind of spacer to set the rear springs up by 3/8". The lower control arm has a deep seat for the spring and it could tolorate a spacer. I would try this b/c I do really like the ride quality of this spring. Agiain, the pics don't do justice, but here's a couple I took:

8.5" front, 9.5" rear. I've had cars with 315s in the rear before and that's okay but I'm kind of over the need for oversized tires. These were the size rims recommended by Toyo for 245 front, 275 rear.
