well the width of the tires wasnt the problem, I couldve went with 11.5 in the rear, but it was the offset that was the problem thats why i had to have the fenders pulled a lil bit

My offset was for the old G35 too. I am very close though. Where did you actually pull ? Was it the edge of the fenders or the curved part of the fenders? You would need bring the temp up first ? Any detail would be great.

How much should i be expecting to pay for the pull ? I know it would depend on who does it but i just wanted to get a range $$ ? Thanks

i say no more than 160!! it should cost you around 60 to 75 a fender. you definately need to heat them up to prevent the paint to crack. the pull itself is not tat noticeable but if u park next to a stock u can tell its a lil more flared.

i see, thanks for the info. As for the actual pull, does it happen at the straight edge (making it flare out ?) or does it happen at the already curved part of the fender (above the straight edge) and just making it open up more ?
