There's guys that trim a rear bracket or cut the fender liner to resolve the issue. If it's actually hitting on fender edge you're SOL (that was the concern I was talking about) but if it's hitting inside the fender you should be able to remedy that.
It's hitting the fender edge. I took a good look at the tire and saw white streaks along the sidewall. I guess I've found the limits on stock suspension and tire widths on +22 offsets.

If it's on the sidewall you may be inside the fender edge, possibly hitting that bracket that I've hear about. I'd take the tire off and see exactly where the problem is (unless of course you don't see any paint on the underside of the rolled fender lip).

Yeap... Can't wait to get those spacers on mine! Good looking sedan LilRocket!

On another note... Seems to me more sedan owners like the fat tire, aggressive fitment than the coupes. Little bothersome considering the coupes are "suppose" to be the more "sportier" of the G37 line.

Guess 'cuz the coupes come out of the box sporty, us 4 door-ers have to make the extra effort
But it's well worth it

Yes newt hit it right on the money...it's all about aspiring that 4DSC look this is my second G. I previously had the coupe and with 19" wheels and setup I was more pleased with the look and didn't feel the need for change.

Forgeline's newest wheel, the 1-piece forged monoblock SE1. Available in 19 and 20 inch sizes. Who wants to be first? Remember you can pick your own sizing, offset and color(s)!

Go to the first post to see how Forgeline wheels are made.

^ Those are sweet lookin wheels. They would look especially nice on a GTR or e46 M3. Not the biggest fan of wheels like that on a G to be honest. For some reason I feel like G's should have wheels with minimal spokes. Your G is an exception Robert_K because you just happened to nail the color combo perfectly. Just my opinions ofcourse though.

Well said TS^^
If I had the bankroll for some Forgelines I really think these are badas$, they'd look sweet on a G (especially mine )
