Looking very sharp. I have the same wheels except 19x8.5 38 offset all the way around. Do you get a bigger lip with the 9.5 in the rear or just a wider tire? Great choice for the money.

yea you do get a bigger lip in the rear. I bought these from a friend that drives a G35 so the fitment was for his car, but I got 6 wheels 4 wheels are 19x8.5 38 off set and the other 2 that are in the rear is 19x9.5..

So really i got 6 wheels

Looks good! what tire specs do you have?

If you have smaller than a 255 you could easily fit 10mm spacers in the rear!

Fenders rolled?

tires are 235 35 all around

Fenders didnt have to be rolled. i looks like it has been rolled half way for some reason, but i might be wrong. My friend said "it looks like the factory rolled it half way for you" lol

They do from the factory. If you roll it full way you will clear up soooooo much room!

and with those tire specs a 10mm spacer will fit with plenty of room (with the fender rolled).

I wouldn't trade for the stock type-s wheels. I would buy them off him, and keep the type-s wheels just in case.

do any of these stern wheels fit over factory brembo brakes?

Yea but I dont know if I like these wheels that much. I don't like how the spokes bend and correct me if I am wrong but with those specs the spokes poke out pass the lip face right? ( I don't know how to describe it). If you are looking stright at the wheel (not at the face of the wheel), can you see the spokes poking out a little?

I'm not a really big fan in painting Stock (base) calipers, but if I had the brembos, it would be a way diffrent story. Maybe i'll get bored and paint them flat black one day

To be honest, not a big fan of the wheels, although I have seen a lot worse wheels on TL's.

thanks for everyones comment.

IMO I like it and the other half of me does not like it. I'm the type of guy that likes, TE37 CE28s, Advans RG1, etc. no a big fan of these rims but I do like the way it sits and I hate the Face of the wheels. might give them back.
