Hey Guys ... here are a few photos of my 05' X with Coupe Wheels and 245/45 Pilot Sports. Car handles much better now than the stock set up, with the crappy Turanzas.

... and yes, I know, I need to lower the car, but what are my options having an X ????

 

Looks nice, but.....................You need to lower that thang

I don't know your spring options, but please post pics when you get it done.

 

looks very nice dude, very nice. yea i bet you really do notice a difference with those on and the turanzas off. not sure what options we have for the x as far as lowering goes.

where on li you from?

 

I live in Port Jefferson. What about you?

 

I like the '05 sedan wheels better...and you need to lower that thing.

 

what did you do about the rear wheel off-set? Rule was... no rear off-set on an all wheel drive...no?

 

Really? I never heard that. The only thing I read was to keep the same rolling diameter on the front and rear (no staggered set up).

I don't seem to have any issues. Car handles much better than stock.

 

Weird seeing the exact same car as mine with the coupe wheels. I guess if i didn't already know those were from a coupe, I'd say GREAT. But hey, your ride, and if you like it, it handles better, and your happy. WTF? BE HAPPY

Lookin good.

...jealous

looks great

 

Those coupe wheels aren't different sizes for the front and rear?

 

Yeah they are............there's a width difference (wider rear) I'd check out the use on an "X" big time. I was thinking 'bout doing they same type of fitment until I was warned against it by Tire Rack and a well known tuner friend of mine. I was told that disproportionate sizes adversely affect the AWD system. Check it out dude...I hope I was misinformed for your sake JBX

 

Front & Rear Coupe Wheels are both 8". They are the same dimensions all around.

Anybody with an 04' Coupe confirm this ?

 

The reason for my concern is that the standard coupe set-up is 8 front 8.5 rear. Good deal on the dual 8's

 

Yeahdickey - looks nice. Where'd you buy the rims from....dealer directly? Also, like the tint job...what % is that? THANKS

 

Thanks Jimmyc13,

I bought the rims from one of the members on G35Driver. He had upgraded his coupe wheels and sold me his stock ones. The Tint is 35%.
