I ended up deciding to stick with 275's on the rear because clearance was no issue.
I rolled the rear fenders, installed Sportlines and ended up with 20mm spacers up front and 25mm spacers in the rear. I will get some pics up as soon as I get time to wash my car! LOL. Summer school is owning me.
I also haven't gotten an alignment yet which I think will change the stance ever so slightly. Not up front of course, but who knows what my rear camber is at right now, and I have adjustable camber arms back there.
Loving the sportlines though! I'm thinking about shaving a little of my rear mounts off but haven't decided yet. That plus I'm seriously considering new wheels. I really want 19's, I feel the car just needs them. These wheels would be sick on the track but I'm looking for a little more bling. I would really love some 19" LMGT4s, wink wink. =P

Yeah, sorry, lol. I decided that these wheels would look silly if I tried to go too aggressive. The offsets just don't support much poke, it would look weird IMO.
Plus, to really make them aggressive you would definitely need coil-overs. Even with these springs, which are supposed to be the most aggressive springs (I think), there is too much wheel gap to support a stretch. Basically it was a lose lose situation. But as far as 18" LMGT4's go, especially on springs, I think they came out nicely. /shrug

Hey guys i looked at the first 15pgs of this thread so i did search but this is more of a picture thread.
My question is what kind of locking lugs are you guys rolling with? I know mynismo.com carries them, but I want the ones that most of you guys have. Heres what im looking for:
-Not exceeding over $210
-Durable
-Black, gray or gunmetal
-Closed end lugs
-Something that cant be bought at a parts store. ei autozone, pep boys,etc...
-Either they sit flush with the wheel or somewhat tucked in, I just want them to be seen but I dont want extended lugs.
Forgive me for not searching as much, but I tried. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the LMGT4's included lugs, or are you rocking a different set?
To be honest I am very impressed with my TiTek extendeds and would recommend the standard length TiTeks or a set of the black lugs that are included with the LM's.
Of course you can't go wrong with a set of Black Volk lugs as well.
Let me know if you need me to include pics.

^^^please post pics of lug nuts, if at all possible, mounted onto wheel. Ive been lurking at the wheels&tires classifieds for sometime now. Im a newb and would feel better following your recommendations on lugs.
Ive been looking into these, but im not sure how they work, or how they would look on lmgt4's:
https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...-lug-nuts.html
or something of this concept:
http://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla.guard.locks
these guys carry a good amount of options, but i dont wanna buy w/out advice for you guys:

Regarding my personal experience, I can provide the below for you:
My first set of lugs were the Nismos that were included with the wheels, they were a nice set and matched the black well.
http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=5360
I wanted to add a little more color so I then moved on to the TiTek Speed extendeds:
http://www.mynismo.com/products/?ID=7318
I had ordered the Volk lugs but I felt that they were a little too pink for my taste, and wanted something that was more red.
I'm not really an expert on wheel locks so I can't really offer any advice on that topic.

Took some pics yesterday. I haven't had time to mess with them yet but here one for now. I am not sure if I got any really close up ones to show the fitment as I wasn't concentrating on that, it was more of a general photoshoot to celebrate finally washing my car lol. But if not, I will try to get some of those for you guys too.
P.S. It's just a point and shoot camera so be gentle.

I bought my TiTek extendeds simply for the color contrast but another cool advantage is that it prevents you from scraping the inside of the wheel holes in which the lugs mount since the lugs torque down outside those holes.
I LOL'd so hard.

Looks great, I love the silver on silver contrast.
LOL at you taking pictures just for washing it.
