So...you are saying that with my current drop.....1.5-1.8 inches I should be ok with the +15/+20 setup. ya think?
Seems awefully aggressive. I'll be awaiting pics...Thanks for the info. I don't mind raising the car a little to acomodate (JIC's) but would like to avoid the hassle if possible.
my car for reference...

That car is running the custom +15, +20 offsets. The reason I know is because when they told me that the offsets weren't avaliable, I showed them a picture of that car, and they were like "Oh yeah, those are custom drilled". That is how I got mine custom drilled.

dollar99,
yes, if you could post pics that would be great. I really want to see pics of these on a G35 and I think your car is a similar color (DG?) to mine (I have a DP). Thanks!

Just to clarify everyones confusion: Axis IS offering 15/20 offsets. They are on backorder right now, about 4 weeks. They will be worth it though so you dont have to use spacers. I know these wheels exist, cause I ordered em, and they are en route as we speak!!!! The guy at NEAD told me I was going to be the first one with them, but I somehow think he was blowing smoke up my a$$ cause he first told me I would have em about a week ago. Oh well, I can wait, they are worth it!

Thanks everyone again for your comments, mike at NEAD told me the 15/20 offsets were good for anyone with the brembo brakes or planninj to upgrade brakes in the future, i have no plans on doin that since my ride is near completion as far as performance goes, i was gonna be waiting for the 15/20 offsets but he told me that this offset would work fine, i like the way it look the wheels could go out a bit more but hopefully if i get aligned correctly there wont be so much negative camber in the rear

edit: not ******* your wheels at all, they look great, i just think they need spacers in the back.

I just bought a set from Mike, +15 front 19*8.5 and +20 rear 19*9.5. They are backordered, 3 to 4 weeks, aparently 13 sets ordered and 15 coming. As long as he was square with me, should have a set in 3 to 4 I guess.

Thanks Dollar! Can't wait for better pics (I saw these on G35driver!). I was looking at SF Challenge and Hyper 5Zr, but can't justify the extra $100-150 per wheel. The Milano seem to be the best looking wheel for the $.

I just bought a staggard set of axis milano's yesterday.....
Does anyone think there's gonna be a big difference between a 40 offset and a 45 offset. As far as I know thats all they offer for 19x9.5's.... Think a 275 tire will make a differnce as far as looks go?
