How much work do you guys think it'd take to get these under a Y33? They are a little to baller for me but it'd be fun to see.http://www.northwestnissans.co...48894

Just a note, that'd be just shy of 6.7inches sticking out from the hub, not sure how much space there is between hub and fender as I don't yet have a Y33.

Wow... I don't know if they will fit or not... but, why would you want them to? You can make a Y33 look damn nice without putting on wheels that will stick out 1.2 miles.

Check out Kevin Falks Y33... it's VIP... and looks damn good.

Of course, this is just my opinion. I like a nice set of wheels as much as the next guy. But, those don't look like something I would want my Q.

To directly answer your question, it would take A LOT, I mean a ridiculous amount of fender-work to make those fit.

For reference, if your 18 x 12 wheel was a +0 offset, it would stick out roughly 45-50mm from the fender. So, you can take that measurement to figure what your negative offset would look like.

There are a few pics of wide body G50's floating around ... JDM ones it would appear by the pics. That said, I'm sure someone has or will do the same to a Y33. Not too practical, but if that's what you want, go for it.

If offset is -5mm or "less" (i.e. to 0mm offset), you can get away with a flare under 1.25" (or 30mm or so). Those wheels in question... would require at the least a 45mm flare front and rear... oh yeah, that's also considering that you'd be running stretched tires and a tad bit more than -3deg of camber all around. They're kinda junky wheels for the price though... better to save up a little more and some wheels in way better condition
