1/2" spacer has at least one potential drawback - your stock engine cover will no longer fit on top of it after you install the 1/2" spacer. You'll have to take off that plastic engine cover with the Infiniti symbol on it. And what's underneath is kinda ugly.

have a rating of 160. I never got more than 7K out
of soft compound drag tires, and I've gone through
several sets! Try to buy tires that have mileage
ratings of at least 240 and up. That will net you at
least 30K driven sanely.

Are you really this stubborn?!? I've told you on multiple threads that you cant compare treadwear ratings between tire brands? Why dont people get it? And the RE960, like other people have said has a 400 treadwear rating. Therefore they will last atleast 20K even on a lowered car like the G.

Not to mention they have a 40,000 mile warranty, so even if they only last 20,000 miles, you will get pro-rated for half the cost of the tire.

I've been shopping through the marketplace and getting used mods through my club. Just picked up exhaust, springs, plenum spacer, samco hoses, rims, shift ****, 8000k hids and painted battery covers for about $1400.

"pre-owned" seems to be the way to go for the poor folk.

How did you get all of that for 1400
