Looks nice man, I like the color contrast. I'm going to lower ours a inch and a half and add 16 inch wheels with 205/55/16 later on. My truck will tow a small boat and be a weekend cruiser till my son starts driving.

Nice! I love the volk TE37x. Are those 16x7 or 16x8? Do you know the offset off hand?

Man for 100 i would love a set, on 8 inch I think I would run a 225 or 235 for the extra meat. i have 225 70 on my stock chrome 6 inch wheels. Would love those if they tuck in so well as they seem to and 16 inch gives me many more tire choices. can you list the shop so I can contact and see about shipping

I was rubbing in the rear with my 225's on 4 runner wheels with a 3" drop. I just rolled the fenders and problem solved.

My wheels are 16x7 but I'm pretty sure the offset is lower than your nismo wheels so mine stick out more. I wish i had a lower profile tire, but that's what the wheels came with and I have other areas i need to spend money on first.

I did a cheap fender roll with a floor jack and baseball bat. A fender roller will give you better results and there are places where you can rent them, but you will need a 6 lug adapter for the roller. I didn't care about the paint as I'm going to paint it after I install the new front suspension components. If you don't want the paint to chip, you'll need a heat gun and fender roller. That's how I rolled the fenders on my subaru.

I don't want to put 4wd fender on unless I flare our the rear too. I don't like how it looks when the front wheels are sunken in and the rears aren't.

this is why mine isn't lower than it is right now... i have 225's with -6 offset wheels... theres like 2" of tire hanging out of the wells lol

i'm eventually going to stretch them or add some non-ghey flares cause when i get to my suspension build its gonna be lower and running 275's

hmm i wonder what it would look like if you had 4x4 front fenders and some kind of flare on the back?

i do like the way the 225's look

i was thinking of getting some 50mm wheel spacers just for the front for a matching wheel gap

pez measurments?
