No way! I live in Franklin Park(well my parents do) I'm home every now and then, there's gonna be a small meet up with a couple of NJ guys next week if you're interested.

I'm hoping I can make it in August, that would be sweet.

I've had those ***** since June, and have shared them with a bunch of people. Well worth the money on them.

The old ones semi easily pull straight off, and these press right on. Takes less than 5 minutes to change them.

I got my 15mm H&R DRM wheel spacers installed today and I must say they changed the look of my car COMPLETELY! 3 mins after leaving the shop I turned right back around and took them off from due to horrible rubbing issues from the bracket I believe, which even took a slice off on one of my new tires and as I looked on my side mirror driving back to the shop seeing the small flap of my tire waving in the air I also noticed the rear tires looked like they were wobbling as I was driving even though I know all the bolts and lugs were tighted extra with the torque gun

I went to 4 different local (no name) mechanic shops and asked if they were able to trim or maybe even remove my rear bracket and possibly fender liner and explained my reasoning as to why. And literally every shop looked at me like I had 4 heads and easy asking they rim hem to cut the car in half and weld it back together again lol

So right now I'm at a complete 100% loss on what to do and where in NJ i can take my car to in order for me to fix this issue. If you're wondering if have Vossen cv3-r wheels and the fronts didn't rub at all and the rears are 20x10.5 +45 offset and tire is a nitto motiva 275/30/20 and I don't feel comfortable trimming the bracket myself with a dremel but idk if I can handle that or even do it right

Thanks again for anyone taking the time to read this and has any helpful input of what they would do in my situation.

Kenny

Have a look at this thread.

https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-coupe/233236-rear-bumper-bracket-2.html

Basically trim as much as needed to stop rubbing. If you remove wheel poke ur head in the wheel well you may see where its rubbing. Trim it i used a exacto on rhe plastic and bent the metal out of the way. Start small and dont cut the while thing off unless needed you can always go back and trim a bit more.
