Flush help

So I'm trying to figure out which route would produce the best looks for the coupe/wheels combo. Right now I have no spacers upfront and 25mm in the rear.

As you can see the rear is super agressive and kinda has the poke thing going on. The front is a little sunk in.

So the problem/info is:

1. I can't go any lower on the spacer size in the rear because the stock studs are 1" or the equivalent of 20mm spacers. Anything less I would have to cut the stock studs because the wheels don't have back space holes.

2. I have extended studs +10mm and a 10mm spacer to out upfront or in back.

So I guess my only option

1. Take the 25mm off the rear and replace with the extended studs with a 10mm spacer there for giving the same sunk in look as the front is.

2. Take the spacers off the rear completely and run it as so.

3. Put the extended studs/10mm spacer upfront and stick with the mexipoke stance in the rear.

Any ideas/comments/advice????

I'd start simple and remove the spacers completely. Then run the 10 mm in the back. I wouldn't touch the front.

...I kinda dig the current set-up...

It does not look terrible but to me it looks like its off. Either the rear needs to come in or the front needs to go out.


I will remove the spacers and take a few snaps. They might look hellasunk because of the camber in the rear but we will see.

This pic looks pretty good, what camber are you running in back? Had to edit your thread title and text a bit, please keep ethnic slang out, thanks!

@BLN,


I cant remember what the actual numbers were right off the top of my head. I can look at the spec sheet in a bit. I think it close to two.


So still shots don't look that bad but when the car is rolling with concave wheels the fender gap difference is pretty noticeable, maybe I am just overthinking it. Should I bring the back in?


PS thx for the edit.

Try the 10 MM in the back? I prefer the squatty back end over no spacer personally.

TBH I'm just done with these wheels. That's what I get for not getting the right offset in the first place. I'm going to just run my other wheels until I can get ride of these and replace then with a decent offset concave setup.

^Yes, but not necessarily true. A lot of G37 owners are coming from the G35 and quite a few are at least familiar with the platform. I come here for G37 info and have seen a lot of wrong info. All about that source.
