buy a torque wrench. Rather spend $40 instead of $4000 to fix the car if the wheels come off while driving.

Why would the fender gap be different front and rear? lol, seriously? Because the stock front tire on the 370 is taller than stock 350 front tires....

What did you torque them down to? Standing on the tool doesn't count.

I did torque them down. I torqued them to 80ft/lbs. Thats what the service manuel says. I am a noob when it comes to wheels and suspension stuff. I understand that the stock front tire on a 370 is taller than the one on the 350, but I thought if I swapped all four wheels that it wouldn't sit so far off. I definitely plan on putting up pics like I said in my first post. I didn't take any pics because it was dark out by the time I got them on and I want to take some good pics outside during the day. I will definitely get some pics posted tomorrow.

if u don't have a torque wrench then just take it to ur local tire shop and let them use there power/air tool on them, but I recommend u change ur studs since ur using 20mm spacer its the reason ur not getting it torque down properly....

pics needed....

Rich harris is correct. You need extended studs to use a spacer. Otherwise, your wheels will fall off!

I only had to use the spacers on the front. I did use a torque wrench. I have teh Ichiba spacers that go over the existing studs and have new studs on teh spacer, so they should be fine. I am going outside right now to get pics.

I like it. With spacers and a drop these wheels are going to look great.

.... however, the Rays from the Nismo 370 would be the thing I want to see the most fitted to a 350.
