2: What's the sizing on the factory wheels? 2: Front 19x8.5, rear 19x9. Not sure about whether offsets are different. Continental ContiExtremeContact DWS 245/40R19 fit rims 8-9.5", 275/35R19 fit rims 9-11". New preferred tire. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....emeContact+DWS |
Dont get me started. Haha. I HATE some of the things they did. Well. Two things. Mainly. Buying that garbage engine from Renault, then using it. And then deciding to use the gearbox they did. In no particular order.
+43 front & +45 out back fir the offsets. 275 is going to look bubbly on a 9" wheel, and it will likely make your car handle like a slush bucket. 235 or 245 front and 255 rear *should* do the trick. |

Oh, and it's REAL fun trying to find staggered sizes in the same brand. Might have to pony up for Michelins...

Bein a pimp ain't easy. You still thinking 3 season?

Yeah. These:
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (Ultra High Performance All-Season) Front: 245/40ZR19 Sidewall Style: Blackwall Serv. Desc: 94Y UTQG: 500 AA A Price: $309.00 (each) Rear: 255/40ZR19 Sidewall Style: Blackwall Serv. Desc: 96Y UTQG: 500 AA A Price: $329.00 (each) |

Good plan. It doesn't compromise handling so much and allows proper rotation if you get a symmetrical tire. You might have to get different offsets front to rear though, dont know how to fit wheels on g37's haha.

I really hate that although there's enough room above the gas pedal to lose your entire leg, the clutch mechanism is constantly catching my size 10s as I move to the dead pedal. Hate to think what it'd be like with size 12s or so...

Hmmmmmmmm. Noticing that my summers seem to be noiser than I recall. The garage flipped my RE050A's from side to side. Fronts stayed front and rears stayed rears. IIRC, they are asymetrical. Can I leave them flipped or should I undo the flip? Would this account for the noise?

Yes, they're only suppose to go one way.

It will likely take a lot more than 500 clicks to muck up your tires. They'll just wear funny, make your drive louder and probably make the handling a little spongy.
