wheels look too tucked in?!
have a question guys...i recently purchased some wheels and after i installed them they seem to be a little in the "tucked in" side...they look a little weird like they're hiding inside the car...anyway is there such a thing i can do to correct this problem? to make them at least line up with the fender...maybe even have them stick out just a tad?i've heard of "spacers" but honestly i'm lost as to what i should do? any advice? as to where i can go to purchase something such as spacers or purchase whatever i need too to fix this problem?

Even if they stick out only .001" they will be lame cuz they will rub if you lower it, in fact even if they were 100% totally flush with the outside of the fender they would rub, and no fender rolling in the world will solve that.

yea this is what i'm looking for...you see now that to me looks aggresive.

Alberto is right, there is NOTHING wrong with the wheels sticking out a bit, I just got my Volk SF Challenges and they are 10.5 +23 in the rear and everyone I know tells me that they look KICK@$$! I did have to roll the fender though, but not as bad as I thought it would be.
Oh yeah, btw Alberto how much is your car lowered and with what setup did you lower your Z with?

What offset is that drumma? I've got a TE37 19x10.5 +22 offset and when I test mounted it onto my rear the top edge was flush w/ the top of fender. I'll be running a 285 tire and probably will need to roll my fenders.

That is a x10.5 +12 ... Soon to be fitted on my Z when I get it back from Nissan Service Dept.
"Stupid looking rear camber" is sometimes things that people strive for when setting up their car. I would like to see what you think of the black G35 that I have posted over and over on this board ...

problem is, that at a certain point, even spacers look lame, since you can clearly see them by looking at the hub part of the wheel. Not to mention no spacer will make up for width.
On the front of the car, you are very limited to the spacer you can run witht he stock wheel stus, as there is not that much thread to work with.
What size9s) are the wheels you got?
As for the 10.5 +12 - you are going to be doing more than fender rolling and camber to get them to fit
