Default They are on.

Got my tires today. Falken 452. 245/30/20, 285/30/20. Also got an eibach rear camber kit. Now need to get one for front. Those are not to decrease camber but add more so wheels fit properly. Should have went with 275 rears. And sorry for the quality of the pics, or the lack there of. Better ones coming after car wash. Just in case anybody asks, the wheels are work vsxx, 20", 9.5/11. I got them from Riley (RIJO Engineering). He's a true offset master. I can't believe how well these wheels fit (or will after i get front camber kit). Here is his car: https://my350z.com/forum/media-share/314099-actual-mini-shoot-of-the-new-auto-couture-brushed-lattice.html
If you want a sick setup, he's the guy.

Some info: The fenders were cut instead of rolled, but then had to be actually re-cut and filed again by another place (this time properly), pacific tire motorsports. Those guys are good. The first fender cut resulted in 2 cut rear tires only after half a mile of driving, but the place i dont want to mention doesn't want to own up to it and they think it's all good saying it won't cut tires while in fact it did big time. So this is my experience from today. Here are some pics:

Thats reaaaallllly wide. Maybe too much for my taste...but I love the wheels--also looks like there is too much rim off of the tire, --with all that camber won't your tires wear uneven? / \

Wow those are wide rears! A litte to wide for my taste but it looks mean! What offset are they? Looks like it is time for someone to start thinking about a widebody kit.

It's not the width that makes it step out like that, it's the offsets that are really low (below 10). This is the way i like it, a lot of camber and rim sticking out. It's the only way i would want my car to look. It's a matter of opinion so i don't expect everybody to like it. I will take better pics asap.

Don't get me wrong, I love the wheels and the wider the better! I almost bought those wheels but got a great deal on my BBS'.

Can't wait for more pictures!

ok, it looks like your bringing back the early 90's wheels sticking out from the fender look like i had with my first mustang. gangster offsets are nice but there is a fine line between gangster and ghetto. i need more pics!

Not a fan of over-sized wheels, but yours are pretty cool.
