Smile Yet another 19" Rays on Sedan before/after pix!

So I bought a 05 G sedan a few weeks ago. I recently picked up a set of 19" OEM Rays from a member on here(Silvermossness - good guy). I just wanted to share some pictures and information.

I know this isn't the most original mod, but I definitely think it is one of the cleanest set ups for the G sedan. These wheels are so well designed. I still see people turn their head when I drive by slowly. I just love how the wheels look when they are in motion.

Anyway The tires are Falken FK-452 245/40/19 all around. Stock suspension. Hope this helps anybody looking run the same set up.

Looks great. I'm running the same wheel/tire combo. Any plans for a drop?

I put the same wheels but I am also lowered it on 350z fronts and coupe rears (427 rate) and the difference is major. I don't see how anyone would want a sedan to be lower since right now my tire is exactly flush with the fender. Lowe that that and it will look like a civic with cut springs. Anyways. This is deffinetely a step in the positive direction. Even if you keep the suspension stock the improvement is still siginificant.

^lowering doesn't mean cutting the springs. Coupe rears and Z fronts do no drop the car so it sits flush with the fenders unless u got those springs cut.

No one said that lowering means cutting the springs. I meant that too low and it starts to look like a rice rocket, which essentially is a civic with cut springs besides the other rice parts on it.

My rear is exactly flush with the tire, there is no gap to 1/2" between the rear fender and the tire. There is no rubbing though. There is about 3/4" gap between the front fender and the tire. That's as close to being flush as it gets with no rubbing.
