Heh thanks! Lots of people didnt like the tri spoke on the sedan.. i loved them though. I sold the wheels a month or so ago, i wish you talked to me then! Sorry.

The tri-spoke (super advans) were 18x9 and 18x9.5 Tire size was 235/35/18 and 275/35/18. My new wheels will probably be these badboys. I havent seen anyone with them yet. Let me know what you guys think. If someone could photoshop those wheels on my car, that'd be great Probably 19x9 and 19x9.5

Front wheels are gonna be 19x9.5 +20 offset and the rears will be 19x10.5 +45 offset.

I wish.. its so damn hard to find a RHD clip, etc etc. If i found one, that'd be the next mod for sure.

The wheels will stick out too much. I got a friend to measure the offset. Im going for little poke on the wheels. Anything lower wont fit.

camber and stretch tires. =) if im gonna run 19x10 +20 all around im sure you can make what i said fit. i think it would look nice if you go aggressive and slammed with the coupe front.

Hmmm ill have my guy look at my car again. Have you seen anyone else with 19x10 +20? Im curious of how it'd fit. I know already a +45 offset for a 19x9 is already aggressive for a sedan. Ill double check with my guy here though. My buddy here works at Sonic's MS and they deal a lot with VIP cars and being slammed. Oh yeah, this offset is already with camber and stretched tires. Im planning to go air bags.

well im gonna run 235-40 all around so its gonna be a pretty aggressive stretch and camber. im pretty slammed already. if your going bags then ill go as crazy as i can with offsets. i havent seen anyone with 19x10+20 upfront or in the rear maybe ill be the first when i get my funds all piled up.

lololololol... 19x9 +45 is NOT aggressive AT ALL for a sedan.. PM me with what your vision is and i'll tell you EXACTLY what offsets and tire sizes you need to run to make it perfect. FWIW... i plan on running a 19x10.5 +24 with a 255 tire on my sedan.

I respect that your friend might know his stuff when it comes to VIP cars and being slammed... but hardly anybody does it with a G35 sedan... i know my ish when it comes to the G sedan and offsets and i've always gotten fitment right when helping people out. I get PM's weekly from people asking about wheel/tire fitment.

haha, it's not just wheel fitment, you have to take into account the suspension geometry as well. The alignment specs you run play a HUGE factor in offset/width/tire selection. And since i've done thousands of alignments and i've played around with the alignment on my own car plenty of times, i know my ish.

Not getting the wheels anytime soon. I'm trying to get a night job so i can have some mod money!

Hmm ill have to ask around i guess. Im throwing down 5g's on my wheels and just wanna make sure its a good fitment or im screwed. lol I heard from 3 guys that make wheels that 45 was an agressive offset for a sedan but let me ask around.. Better safe than sorry. The guys that told me the 45 offset were the Work wheel guys here in San Francisco and the VIP Modular guys. Any pictures of sedan guys with lower offsets in the rear? Im going for little poke in the rears and fronts.
