07 G35S riding on 19" 5zigen Gravis I








Yes. Im a horrible picture taker
Yes. I need a drop.
Yes. The tires should be wider but finding all seasons in 19.9.5 is not the easiest thing to do.

Other than that... what do you guys think?

I like the wheels a lot. You mentioned all the other mentionables considering the drop and wider tires.

What tire sizes are they and where did you get the wheels from?

Looks good Paul. They do look like the S4 wheels and little, which surprisingly makes the rear-end look a little audi(ish) from the side view, to me anyways...

Now you look different from all the other G35 Sports out there!

These wheels were actually my first choice. I had 5zigen FNO1R-Cs on my subaru which I liked a lot so i decided to stay with 5zigens again. The tire size is really bad. Its 225 in the front w. 245 in the back. I really should have done 245 in the front and 275 in the back. I got the wheels from www.z1auto.com . He's local to me.

Yeah, I dont think anyone should argue with your wheel choice, though they would not have been MY choice, you like them, so I like em! haha . The tire sizes are def a little small. I think the 275/245 combo would have looked alot better.

You mentioned you couldnt find all-season tires in those sizes? Out of curiousity, how will those really low profile tires do in inclimate weather even being all-season tires? I wonder if there is any advantage to such low profile all-seasons vs. a set of 275/245 Falkens or Toyos etc etc? Anyone have any input about this?? I have NO idea, just asking-

Well they are toyo proxes 4 and I havent tried them in the wintertime. I had some garbage sumitomo all-seasons on my subaru and they performed just fine in the snow... but then again i had an awd car. Honestly, If I had known that the guy doing my wheels were putting on such thin tires before I had picked them up, I may have gone a different route, but thats what happens when you're impatient and blinded by a new set of rims.

Yeah, I hear ya man. I had to order mine from CA (im in VA) and they came in set up much like yours are. I had to send them all the way back across country and wait to get them back. Luckily, the dealer ate all the shipping costs and whatnot as it was their error. It took about 3 weeks to get them back. I almost just left them on there, I am very glad now that I didn't though. I remember lowering the jack the first time, stepping back and freaking out...

Damn - I think they look great!
I do live vicariously however, since I have a lease...
It does look like it needs a drop - you're right on that.

These are pretty cool looking rims. They look bigger than 19's in some angles. Now you must lowered the G and will look just perfect.
