There are multiple places that roll fenders in Houston. I know a bunch have been named in the texas subforum thing.

I really did come in here to see what a g35 on rx8 wheels would look like, hahaha



Make sure you torque these down really well! The G hub bore is 1mm smaller so you're actually forcing these wheels onto your hubs. Worked fine for me for a short time but I'm sure it will be fine in the long run as well. Just make sure your re-torque your lugs the next few days to make sure they're even.

^ lol i will do that to be safe but are you sure its smaller coz from what i could tell when installing em coz i had left the centercaps off it looked like a perfect fit ... then again the naked eye isnt a very accurate tool ill retorque em ... just for my peace of mind this shouldnt have any effect on the car at all right?

they look absolutely awesome man. i'd suggest a lower sidewall on future tires (esp in the back?) but overall i love 'em

yeah i actually have a set of 225/45s that if the rubbing doesnt stop im gonna throw on there instead of the 245/45s coz i think the little stretch will stop the rubbing coz its BARELY rubbing ... i wish they were 40s but **** theyre brand new and didnt cost anything so i took em lol

i think the 225/45 look good up front but i too think the 245s in the back are a little too meaty if you know what i mean when i throw the 225s on there it should be just fine

how much tread is left on these? brand new you said?

if brand new, i'd leave 'em. i'd eventually go 245 all around, but 245/40 instead of 245/45 like they are now. but it seems to be sitting ok as-is even though i think the sidewall is a bit high.

the fender roll in the back should eliminate rubbing, so i wouldn't make a decision based on that. i loved the look when i went from 225 to 245, looks just a tad meaner with that extra inch. twss!!! lulz
