Making an '08 Journey Sedan look like a Sport

Hey guys, I am a new member to this site, I have done a few searches and cant turn up exactly what I am looking for so I'm starting a new post. Any info and advice is GREATLY appreciated!!!

I have an '08 Journey 4 door and I want to make it look sportier, as much like the G37S Coupe as possible. I especially love the wheels on the S coupe. Am I able to just swap out the stock wheels on my journey with a set of the wheels from a G37S coupe, would they fit? Or would I need to replace the brakes and everything?

Also what do you guys think it would cost to do this and where would I start/find the parts?

Thanks!

Yes wheels are interchangeable.

Best place to start would be the G37 forums, as you will be much more likely to find G37 wheels from G37 owners rather than G35 owners. Try ebay and your local cragslist as well. Typically they will run ~1000 dollars with tires.

Nooooo those are the ugly ones no one wants. He is talking about either the OEM 19" Sports from the 08+ G37S Coupe




or the OEM 19" Sports from the 06+ G35 Coupe

Aside from wheels and a drop, you need to change out the Journey front bumper. You could get the sport front bumper and add a lower lip extension and get the side skirts as well with oem splash guards. Also a G37 rear wing. That's about it. Otherwise you could go hard and get the 2010+ sport front end conversion done with the lip spoiler and say FTW. Please search the conversions. You wont be disappointed. Also peep over at my G37.com

If you have the money, I agree with SlimTV...get the 2010 sport conversion with lip.

Thanks. Those DO look way better. So if I found these, are they bolt and go for an 08 journey or are adjustments needed?

Bolt on and go. Nothing needed even with a drop. You can add spacers to make them stick out at the corners.
