Another question, I've heard iForged have a particular barrel design that could allow water to seap into the tire. I remember something in my audi forums how an iForged owner had to have the tire unmounted and water came out from driving in the rain. Something like a reverse barrell or something like that. Anyone heard of rain driving issues with iForged's?

The offsets are still easily measured once a wheel is delievered to the customer though.

I just came across this thread again. I understand there is R&D there but they didn't R&D for every suspension combination. I don't know the dynamics of the G37 (haven't been under there to do any measuring yet) but on some cars, suspension drops can effect offsets when you're going aggressive. I for one will not buy the wheel unless I know what they are sending me. Now if they measure my car with my drop, I'm not going to worry. Or, if there is a money back guarantee...

I have iForged with Eibachs and aggressive offset. The fitment is perfect.

Right right right... Its slammed and Im running quite a bit of negative camber in the rear. I'll be putting it on a rack this week or next, but I know its out of spec. I'm guessing the SPC kit is a few adjustable links and will bring the botom in, and not the top out. As long as this is the case, the Vossens are the perfect offset to be slammed and corrected and still sport that fat 285.
