My new G35 - installed coils and tested some BMW wheels on it

im new here guys. live in niagara falls, ontario
just bought this 03 G35 and im loving it..

installed ISC coilovers and ran into some seized bushings in the back but replaced those and test fitted my bmw rims that i had on my 1991 toyota soarer.

wheels are the 5 series or 745i bmw rims powder coated black
with 19mm adapter (5x114 to 5x120 bolt pattern)

fronts : 19x9 +5 (215/35/19)
rears : 19x10 +5 (235/35/19)

i dont mind them on there, could be more aggressive, but i am selling em to fund some LEGIT wheels

Here's the thing, Genius- Whatever vehicle you have the rims on, the tires are NOT properly sized for those rims. Those are tires for about a 7"-7.5" rim...

Haha ok. Guess I'm the only one who's ever stretched a tire on a rim.

You got me!

Not talking trash on your car, it looks good. I asked why you didn't put correct sized tires on your rims. I found out why. ^^

Please report me now!...I can't stand the heat!..

Those wheels don't look bad- but you would likely have a much better time selling them if you refinished them. As is, the finish leaves much wanted. Are they painted or what?

The stretch isn't all that strong. Agreed, its not everybody's cup of tea but you should know why there's a stretch to begin with.



OP, refinish them in gray!

they arent painted.. their powder coated gloss black.

Interesting! Not the first time I've seen 7-series wheels on other cars and look pretty cool.
