The idea of the wheels and the color match make for a decent over all look...

But the execution IMHO is complete FAIL. Period.

1. +25 offset in the rear does not compensate for the smaller width, probably sitting right about where stock is to begin with.
2. As a previous poster put so well, nissan has it right with the profiles because the overall height was near equal. 35series all around will most likely make the rear taller than the front. (good for straight line performance, i guess?)
3. They're heavier, hence, less performance.
4. You will most definitly need a 15mm spacer in the rear to make it more flush, because when the car is lowered it wont look as good as with a proper wheel setup.
5. Sorry, I really hate to "hate" but I just feel it was a downgrade of sorts to begin with.
