What color is your M and what color are the Vossen's? Lower it a Lil if you haven't yet and it should be great!!

It is dark blue, and I ordered the springs tein 1.8 front and 1.1 rears after doing a ton of research I can see that the rear I can put maybe 15 mm spacers to give it that stretch and Polk look, no pics as yet but will have some later in the week

With a 10.5" 45mm offset a good stretch on your rear tire should give you that stretch and poke action you want... I would avoid spacers! :gotme

- Nice... If the fit is close to the fit of their (Vossen) other 10.5 in wheels, yeah, you will probably have a little bit of wheel poke. (no need for spacers) Those specs that you are running is what Vossen recommended for me when I enquired about these wheels. In the same breath, this setup should also clear the OEM BBK too. I'll just be happy to see what they will look like on the M.

Hopefully they will still release the 10" version of this wheel next month, as they say they were. Keep us posted, and please snap some pics of the setup..

Yes the H-Tech & S-Tech for the M35 will fit the M45.

I still have my H-tech springs sitting in my garage as back-up.

Looking at the pic of the rear wheel you can see how much it sticks out with 45mm offset.

Now YMm45 has stated above that a 20 offset will be flush and not stick out. :nono:

Good thing you got small tires, now when you drop the car it will help. After the drop you'll need to give the rear some camber.

If needed last would be to roll or a small pull to the rear fenders.


Again for those that don't want poke, stretch, camber, rolling or pulling fenders 10" wheel with offset 43 will be even with the rear fender lip..

Sorry but for now i won't be selling my H-Tech springs as they are my back up if something happens to my coilovers.

I also like to keep the oem replacement parts just incase I have to put the car back to stock in order to sell it without mods. I also still have my rocker panels and exhaust system.

- Nice choice in wheels. You got it looking good, and the drop will only make it look better. To compliment the look, an OEM Aero kit would really set it off. Very sporty, but not over the top.

PLease follow up when you get it lowered.

Check Ebay under Infiniti m body kit... An after market lip kit is available for about $750 +$150 shipping total of $900 primered I believe!! OEM stopped making it from what I've heard plus it was like $2250!! :facepalm:

Drop will help out!! I like the wheels but you're not finished yet..... :gotme

- Setup is looking much better man. Did you ever have any luck sourcing an aero kit? And as the above guy mentioned, a BBK will help to round things out.

Looking much better!! What size tires did you get front and rear?? I like the stretch you got!! :dblthumb:

I would hold off on the BBK, paint calipers for now(I did black) to keep them looking clean.. search for the sport aero kit, It will set everything off perfect!!
