those are 19x9 spaced out to +22 offest front and rear is 19x10 +31

recently got new wheels, Work Varianza T1s in G35 coupe fitment!! 19x9.5+15 R DISK and 19x11+17 O DISK. recently tested fitted the wheels yesterday and today, gonna be needing some serious work on the rear! here is a picture for reference
Forum image
after adjusting height/ toe/ camber to how i want it, i calculated i am gonna need approx 10mm of pull to clear my wheels on the rear, problem is im trying to find a shop that will be willing to pull my fenders. If anyone knows any shops in So Calli that can pull fenders clean let me know!!!

hope you guys like what you see!!:biggthumpup:

Welcome. Car looks good. That pull isn't anything too serious, you should have no problems pulling it off. Good luck

Welcome... Good Luck.... :biggthumpup:

It's difficult to find a shop that can guarranty a "clean" fender pull because metal/steel coated in paint is very unpredictable... what tends to happen with the 3rd Gen TL rear fender is that you pull one section while another section tends to spring back... cause of the inner fender being so damn rigid. Hope everything turns out fine...

Just make sure that you pull the section where the quarter meets the rear bumper.... 'cause the way the rear suspension travels... that's the main area of concern...
