show me G35 with 19"+ rims without lowering the car

You're definitely the minority. Any time anyone posts pictures it always gets "lower it, add spacers". I have speed bumps in my complex, so I don't have much room to lower it. I may do some Tein's and a .5" drop, but that's about all I could get away with and doing .2 MPH over the bumps.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Lowered cars look better, imo.
I recently put 19's on my coupe, without lowering, and it looks fine. The outside diameter of the tires is no smaller than stock. The rear is a little larger than stock (245/35 & 275/35 if you were curious)
As the outside diameters are the same, saying "19's look bad without lowering" is the same as saying "17's with factory tires look bad". This isn't rational...it's just that most cars look better lowered a bit.
I'd love to lower my car, but if I did I couldn't get out of my driveway. The way the driveways are built here, they basically end at the curb, and there's an abrupt three inch drop at the end.
No time for pics today, but perhaps I'll get some in the future. I'm hesitant to post any, since the standard for photographs on this board is high enough I don't have enough time to produce a photo to meet those standards.

nice, i thought soo. mine should be coming this week. their black too but with a polished lip. should look sick on my LR G. It doesn't look like u got a Big brake kit. i plan on getting one tho, eventually u think it'll fit with the rims? Where did you get u your tenzo's by the way?
No regular brakes with Slotted and drilled rotors. They work great. Stop on a dime.

Did you get the staggered fit or standard?

Nice. You'll have to post pics when you get them on. No, I don't have a big brake kit, no other mods are on the car except wheels/tint/black bumper lights (not shown). Not sure if they will fit a brake kit, probably won't go that route myself. I got mine from Wheelsnext (don't buy from them, horrible experience).

OP..... LOWER IT FIRST... IMO every vehicle should be lowered from the factory instead of having 4" of wheel gap.
And for all you whiners saying you cant lower your car... THATS BS!!! Im dumped on 20s tucking tire... not once have I scraped the bottom of my bumper or sideskirts, the exhaust or cats (cant tell which one) is the only thing I ever scrape. When youre lowered you adjust your driving habits and learn real fast what roads you can take and what ones you cant.

OH i see. ya i heard wheelsnext suck thats y i ordered mine from wheelstudio. They're on back order so its been over a month since i 1st ordered them. but their customer service is pretty good. Did you put them on ur self? like changing a flat rite? just for each wheel. thats about the only experience i got when it comes to wheel. but they recommend getting an alignment after u put them on so i'll prob do that.
