k_hojnacki,

Awesome wheels. I also noticed that you have the H & R Springs. I'm thinking about eventually getting 19" and the H & R Sport Springs. However, do you know if the G35 Sport model is already lower than the other '07 models (Base, Journey, and X)? I'm worried the springs will lower the ride too much. I have the 18" on there now. From the looks of it, there's really not that much lower I can go without the wheels beeing inside the wheel well. Thoughts? (Check my link for pics).

At first when putting the rears on, I felt they stuck out too much and I needed to lower the car more to fill the gap. I put the fronts on, dropped the ebrake and put the car into drive. The gap you see in the back just disappears. The car drops about half an inch. The wheels just sit right at the fender. My control arm sits about 3 inches off the ground with the wheels on. I wasn't expecting the car to be that low. To me the car sits perfect.

Nice looking wheels. I dont know about the offsets though, and you might need some more rubber on those bad boys, especially the rear. That 265 looks REALLY stretched to fit on the 10" wide wheel. I think a 275 or 285 35/40 would look a lot better on the rear. Just my opinion though!

Tires are way too thin. I don't know about the rear, but I would put 245/35 at the front.

higher offsets and a wider tire in the front. overall it doesnt look bad.

tire sizes-
275/30/19 or 20 (f)
245/35/19 or 20 (r)
235/35/19 or 20 (r)

i understand you want the euro streched wheel look but honestly, it doesnt suit a jdm car. imo, the wheel sneed a LOT more rubber on them, and the offset int he rear looks a tad bit to much (or to little?? it need to be tucked in a tad bit to sit flush with the fender).i do like the design of the wheels tho....

I would have to agree about the tire/wheel size choice. I think you don't have nearly enough tire on those rims. On a 9" rim I would run a 265-285 tire....if I were running a 225 series tire, I'd be running a 7-7.5" rim. If I were running a 265 tire I'd be running probably a 8-8.5" or so rim. Other than that the wheels look pretty good to me.
