.....and yes, fender rolling to the max was necessary

Looks great! I like the LED tails and the puddle lights as well. I dont think Ive seen 6 on a side yet but Im liking it more than just the usual five.Also looks like I need to go much lower than 20-25 offset like I was originally thinking and something more like 10 or so.

wheels are sick. as is your WHOLE DAMN CAR!!!

no lucky selling it? or are you planning to keep it.

[Jackhammer]

thats a fat lip on the back! i didnt know +22 would fit. spacers?

[auditech10]

Spacers would make them sit out further than they already are...

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Looks good man! Good job.

How does it ride?

[ClutchKick]

I love AME wheels

How does it ride?

Rides great.....although I've had 20's so long I can't remember what a smaller wheel feels like....

I was interested in getting 20X10's, so i will have to roll the fender to do so? Or does it depend on the wheel..?

[auditech10]

It depends on the offset of the wheels you choose. Getting oem offsets you should be more than fine. Oem offsets are in the mid 30s, like +35mm.

[akliquid]

What are the possible problems on a 20x10 offet 25?Should everything else be OK if the fenders are rolled?What are your opinions if the wheel is offered in both 25 and 35 offsets?Thanks.

[vzuptnguyen]

is there damage on the rear passenger side door panel?

[auditech10]

With a good fender roll you should be fine. You may need slightly stretched tires and/or a small amount of negative camber.

whats up man my names kevin im kinda new to the onlne form thing but any way i own an 03 m45 i had it for about 2 years i bought apair of eibach spring for it but kept everything else stock (suspension wise ) i recently put 20 x9s in th fronf and 20 x 10s in the rear it rides pretty good considering the 35 and 30 series tires it has but was just wondering if you knew of a better pair of strut and shock for it maybe coil overs trying to find parts for this car i like looking for a needle in a hay stack pretty sure u know what i mean if you can get back to me or i you know some one that can streer me in the right direction thats a bunch

Welcome to NICO, hayride!

It is tough to find performance parts for those model years, unfortunately. There simply weren't enough units sold for the after-market folks to do much in the way of research or engineering to provide parts for them. While it theoretically possible to get some stuff from Japan, it is somewhat problematic. Given the fact that the Japanese models (Cedric and Gloria) do not have the V-8 engines over there, it is not clear that what works for those models would do "the right thing" for our cars - in terms of performance that is!

Best to stick with OEM stuff and keep the car as perfect as possible to original specs. If people want to experiment with add-ons and mod ... I hate to say this ... but they are likely to be better off trying other Nissan and Infiniti models (like the 350Z or 2006+ M35, etc.)!

Do you mean the indentation? That allows the rear door to open without hitting the door panel on the front door.

[sub9lulu]

what offset will the from and rear needs to be if i want to fit 8.5 and 245 tires all around ?is 20 going to work fine ?thanks

[auditech10]

20x8.5 with a 20+ offset should be ok but you might need to roll the fenders just a tiny bit.
