i feel that ...but really & truly its not about "acting" african american, black or acting anything for that matter.
on some real shlt i like Vans & other sk8board sneakers would i be "acting white" if i bought a pair?
just be yourself & buy what u like whether is 22's or 55's LOL

think back ...in 96-99
19's & 20's was a "black" thing ...now 19's & 20's are a standard for all races of ppl & more than half of G owners on this forum!

in the infamous words of RK ...cant we all ...just get a long!!!!

anyway back on topic ...go for the 22's just ask around about getting the ecu reflashed because of the weight of the rims especially if its an auto & buy a set of 5 rims ..u'll need the spare LOL

 

These are 22's? hahah. God damn, monster truck!

Intense Motorsport Widge body G looks like it has 19's on... Maybe 20's...

But the pic up there. hahah 22's?

hahaha. go ahead and do it.

 

would I still have to worry about the ecu if mine is a 6mt?

yeah i lie the way the 22 fit on that black coupe......mine is black but im gonna have black rims too with the chrome lip..not all chrome like theirs.......

 

Ouch. Your ride quality, although it isnt great stock, will suffer greatly and your engine is going to be pushed a lot harder to do the same work....but I guess thats the price to pay for looking cool.

For me, a set of 18s or max 19s look great and flow well with the design of the car. A g35 with 22 inch wheels would look as rediculous as a monster truck with 13 inch daytons IMO, but its your car so do what you want.

 

I kicked the idea of 20's around for some time.

IMO..Thats as big as you can go with out looking
stupid.

As many have said..its your ride man

 

it looks horrible y dont u just get hydraulics too

 

then maybe u can roll with snoop

 

Hello,

I don't think you have to worry to much about the ECU. The big thing with over sized wheels and tires is your speedometer. With 22's at 65 your most likely doing 62-63. There is more rotational mass to move. Our G has a custom single turbo kit on, and a custom EMS. We dynod the car last week (with the 22's on), and made 452.3 RWHP on stock internals. Also, just a few days ago, my boss was on his way home, and walked a BMW 6-Series off the line (Not an M6)! My final words, do what YOU want. There will always be critics, don't get sucked in.

O, and if you need to get a good price on some Dub-Duces... call the shop on monday! Have a good weekend everyone!

I'm offended by your comment. It sounds like you're saying only black people do 22's...or that it's okay for black's with 22's to look stupid.

In the past 3 weeks, I have seen several nice cars with 22's that I didn't like but only one was black.
I saw a white 50-ish guy putting 22's on both his S-class and Bently.
I saw a white kid with 22 on his GS300.
I saw a black guy with 22 on his CL550.

Watch yourself.

 

Haha, look who decided to stop by, according to him you should downgrade to 17's and put a 45 series tire.

 

This coupe was just in PLUSH magazine for this quarter. I personally thought it didint look good, but to each his own.

 

22's!!!! the first ever G35 donk! but on a real note, i sell all kinds of parts to my customers and have really built some interesting cars. in my opinion, get whatever you like, just make sure it fits properly. with 22's you might be running into clearance issues, rubbing issues, and even driveability issues. make sure that whoever you're getting all the parts from can guarantee the fitment without issues. i was not aware of the g35 being able to hold 22's (which amazes me, didnt even notice that the intense car was on 22's while i was at sema!). good luck with your build. who knows? maybe down the line, you'll decide to go with the more traditional 19 or 20 inch wheel scheme.

 

yikes, 22s on a GS is just bad unless its the 3rd generation.

I think they look fine on plenty of cars, especially the dodge chargers and 300c's, but the GS is a fairly small car in comparison and the wheels would look akward I think.

You know how there is a wheel size that fits just right with the styling of every car? Civics look best with a nice 17, 2nd gen GS's look great with 20s, and G35s fit perfectly with a 19 or maybe 20 depending on the rim.

 

why not get a nice set of aftermaket 19's and lower the car ?
