19's will tend to be lighter and better acceleration and gas mileage than 20's. Also more comfortable ride with slightly taller sidewalls. However, 20" tires actually cost less than 19" tires. Thing is, go with what you like since these are going to be driven on the street. If you prefer how bigger wheels look, then go with that. The G35 wheel wells really beg for 20's.

I wouldn't get them at all b/c 8.5 is to narrow up front. You want at least 9" width front and 10" width rear.

Just wondering why 8.5 is to narrow, i mean if they are wider than the stock 19's why would it matter, or is it a look thing?

thanks Triple8Sol!

Maya STM in Machined Diamond Graphite
20x9 +16
20x10 +23

Just picked these up today, but they're BMW fitment, so gonna need wheel adapters to make these work, which will make the effective offsets -10 front, -3 rear.


w/flash


w/o flash


Look at that dish! 4.5" rear, 3.75" front.

Lately? Mayas/Trafficstars are sick. The Aristos are as good, if not better, than the untested HDM wheels you're getting. Do enlighten me...which sets?

Didn't mean quality wise...just saying looks, these mayas and the aristos were ehhh. I'm only 1 opinion though so all good! I hope you go back to the JP's though, they look the best!
