New Wheels

So i was looking around for wheels for my 06 6mt sedan. I keep coming back to AXIS. Im not trying to spend 3k on a set of VOLKS as much as i like them. So anyway the Axis Wide Track are really starting to grow on me. I wanted 19X8.5and 19X9.5 but these only come in 18x8 and 18x9 . So i was thinking of getting the 18x8 90mm Lip up front and 18x9.0 120mm out back. So do you think that this will be possable? It says on the web site that with RWD application is possable. And any suggestions on tire sizes to.

Question

If you're running equal-size front and rear tires, as you should with the sedan to avoid mixing up the ABS and VCD, you should run equal-width wheels front and rear.

Why are you looking at a staggered setup? Why not go 19x8.5 all-around?

You can have a staggered set up on your G without any problems. But you will not get the size of the lips you listed. Those are for coupes or 350z. Sedan applications will probably yield 2" in the front and 3" in the rear due to the high offsets. You should call Axis and speak to them directly and ask for TOM and tell him what you want and he can recommend the best set up for your car. As for tires, get the the offsets from them first and then I can recommend the best tire set up.

That is completely wrong. where did you get your information from? I have 20x8.5 w/ 245/35/20 front and 20x9.5 w/ 275/30/20 in the rear as a lot of other guys. The only car that is recommended to run same size all around is the "X".

glad to hear that, i have heard that rumer too, so i have been hesitant to put the staggered coupe 19's on my 05 sedan, now i just need to get off my *** and do it.

If you have the RWD sedan you should definitely go staggered. Oh and I really like the look of those wheels.
