I agree that the handling characteristics of a car will be changed when increasing the footprint of the front and rear tires, but the word detrimental doesn't seem to fit that well. Like you just mentioned, Its not always a bad thing to go with wider tires.

 

What would be cheapest way to go? How much would I be looking at total (painted&mounted)?

 

There isn't really a cheap option. With your car being ip it's gonna cost more to paint since its a Tricoat

 

any oil from a reputable brand will provide adequate protection for the car to run for many years to come. Most brands make "High Mileage" variants, which claim to have various additives that will offer better protection, condition seals, and minimize Oil consumption (Of course there is a good possiblility that its the same **** in a different bottle). For high mileage cars its usually suggested to run conventional or synthetic blend because it supposedly will soak into the seals and keep it from leaking oil, but I've been using full synthetic in my '03 with 114k miles with no leaks and used the same oil in my Honda with 140k miles with no leaks. and in case you were unaware 10w30 is the suggested weight. Hope that helps

 

Since wider front tires can harm a car's handling, the word detrimental fits perfectly.

 

right...

 

Hello
So I am in the process of replacing my front brakes because they are starting to squeal a lot. My question is, are 2003-2006 brakes the same? I know 2003-2004 came with and without brembos, but are all the non brembo ones the same? I believe seeing an article about infiniti revising the brakes in 2005 but I'm not quite sure.
I have a 2005 6mt Sport, are they the same as base model?

What is the consensus on what kind of brake pads Gdrivers are using? I've always used Hawk HPS on my integras and civic and loved it, is there a brand you guys tend to lean towards? This is for street daily driven.

 

I am a complete noob at DIY. Anyways, I have 2006 g with d specs. Can anyone explain to me in the simplest way how to adjust rear shocks? Thx

 

The easiest thing to do is to install the extensions and thread them up through the rear parcel shelf. You can adjust the shocks by turning the adjustment ***** on the extensions.

If you didn't install the extensions, you will have to jack up the rear of the car, remove the two shock tower bolts, and adjust the **** on top while pulling down the shock.

 

I have a g35 sedan differential that has a 3.3 fd and no vlsd. It may have awd as well according to the flange that Hooks up to the drive shaft. I'm trying to look up the year and what car it came out of and what model.
The part number is p1 00944316 080924D

 

If your rear seats recline, you can access the tops of the shocks by pulling the seats forward and removing the lining attached by velcro. They will be under an oval shaped rubber cap.

 

In general, wider tires increase handling. I say in general, because there's way more to it than that. But in a very general term, the wider your tires are, and the further they are out from the car's centerline, the better the car will handle/corner.

We're not talking about how it drives, how it does/doesn't pull over bumps, etc, we're talking about performance handling.


There's WAY more to consider here, but if simply talking about handling performance, track use, etc, wider and further out = better.
The more important thing to consider is roll centers and suspension geometry. Anything that alters them in a negative way will decrease handling capability. If wider tires negatively effect your roll centers/geometry on your application, then it will make it worse, no matter how wide the tires are.

And more important than EITHER of the above, is the QUALITY/TYPE of tire you install.
A better quality 225 will outperform a 275 every day of the week, if all else is equal.

 

Can this look be achieved through overlays? If not is there another way that would be cheaper and more temporary then painting and clear coating the lights?
