Not bad, I think you need spacers all around.

Love this color combo , Agreed that spacers may look better.

Also u should consider a mild drop to close up those wheel wells.....

Definitely need spacers, rims look sweet.

front you prob want 10mm read 15-20, measure it to be sure.

also a drop would CHANGE YOUR WORLD. Do a small drop for sure, it'll make the car more exotic/aggressive/complete looking.

Thx guys, appreciate the compliments and the advice. I'm am actually thinking of dropping it, but some of our roads here are horrible. I even have the D2 coilovers already from the G35 I used to have that would go right into the 350. All I really need is an adjustable camber kit, I'm gonna see if I can put some spacers on and see how it looks, if I'm still not satisfied.....I'll probably drop it anyway lol.

Nice choice! Great wheel and great color combo.

BTW, PM me if you need spacers. I have two sets of 15mm spacers to offload (bought them from another member here but they were too wide for my application). Hate to see you pay full price for something that I've got laying around.

EDIT: BTW your signature says LE37t but I think you technically have TE37...unless they were originally LE37t and the machined lip was painted / coated over.

Needs spacers everywhere! Are you going to lower the car? I think there's potential for sure.

Bronze and gold always look good on a white car. Good choice!

This and make sure to get the concave face for the rears with more aggressive specs.

Yea, I'm contemplating it. I already have the coilovers so I probably should just bite the bullet.

Exactly what happened lol, painted over the machined lip. Regarding the spacers, I'll let you know man, my mechanic said he had some lying around that I might be able to use. I'll know this week.

Thx for the compliment bro. I'm REALLY thinking about dropping it. It helps that I don't have to pay for coilovers since I have them already.

The wheel specs are:
Volk LE-37T 19x9.5 and 19x8.5

I actually bought these off the forum marketplace used a few weeks back. They were a different color before I got them fixed and powdercoated. I've just always wanted gold wheels so I decided to pay a bit extra to have exactly what I wanted.

Lol, I don't know if I wanna shell out more money for an extra two wheels. I'll prolly stick with these, get some spacers, lower it a bit, and call it a day.

On a side note, I just bought an HKS Hi Power Ti Exhaust today and had my mechanic put it in already. Probably the best thing I could've bought. It sounds AMAZING.
