Hey guys, I'm in the rim shopping mood, and would like to see some pics of an 07/08 sedan with 19's. I have a white G35x.

I don't plan on lowering this car as my other car is lowered (02 camry dropped with 18's) and driving around toronto gets harsh since our city sucks and there's aparently never enough money to fix roads, just enough to give themselves raises (bastards).
I seen many of you have 20's but i'd like a bit more rubber on the tires so 19's would be my best bet.

Can any of you provide some pics of this, even a link to them, anything, and preferably not lowered, so I know what to expect.

Thanks guys!

 

THis is my car before I dropped it. Sorry pics aren't great. I'm on the coupe 19s. Gap in the back wasn't horrible, but the front was just too big hence my drop.

sweet man, you rock, same colour and all !!!!!!!!!

if possible, can you give me your rim specs, offset, and tire size.

and thanks for making me like my G even more now.

Thanks Candlestick...

If I wasn't going to drop I might have looked at getting a little more rubber in the front. Possibly going to 45 series, just to fill that gap. Would have brought some speedo problems into play, so I would have had to take a look at that. I think making the rims flush would have helped too, which these were not. If you're going aftermarket then you can get the right offsets to get them flush which will make it look a lot better.

 

IvoryG, your Coupe 19s aren't flush on your ride? They sit pretty flush on the 03-06 sedan, I thought it would be about the same for the 07+ sedan.

 

Hers mine before the drop. Hope this helps.




Specs are

Fronts:
19 x 8.5" + 40 245/35/19

Rears:

19 x 9.5 +42 275/35/19

 

great request. i am in the same boat. had some idea that the drop would just be perfect, but in north jersey, these roads wouldnt be kind to my baby. The speedo problem has to be able to correct with a simple computer flash update, that any decent wheel shop will be able to encode for you when you get them. Also, since you are in toronto, would i be wrong to guess that you have an X? Dont use any of the information on the wheels specs that candlestickpark listed. The X must have, read..MUST... have even tires/wheels on each corner.

 

^Rowan is correct. If you have an X, which when looking back at your first post I see that you do, you can't run a staggered setup, so the Coupe 19s won't work for you. Thanks for pointing that out Rowan!

 

I have some pics of mine before lowering in this thread, page 2.

Thanks guys, I apreciate the help and the input...

Further Q:
I knew that staggered was not possible with the X and that I read in one of the stickies in a forum on here.
I know the rims must be of equal diameter and width, and same tires, but....
Can I use different offsets safely????

 

Can you guys post more pictures of this, perfer side shoot.

 

^ +2, if possible

 

Regarding side shots...wow...that his hilarious. I just looked and we all have the same angle. Can you tell that this is the side most of us like???

Here is the only side pic I have. I didn't post it originally because you can't see the gap very well at all. It looks like less of a gap in this picture than it really was.

One reason why the front gap is so big is because the front tires from the 05-07 coupe are actually shorter than the front tires on a 07+ G35 sedan. The coupe comes w/ 225-40-19 tires in the front whereas the sedan (sport model) comes w/ 225-50-18 tires and the X and journey comes w/ 225-55-17 tires. If you went to a higher profile tire - like a 225-45-19, you would actually match the stock front tire size of the sedan much better. Because of this difference, running the stock coupe's 225-40-19 would actually give you a greater chance of the speedo being off.

Here are the diameters:

coupe's stock 225-40-19 = 26.09"
sedan (sport) stock 225-50-18 = 26.86"
sedan (journey & X) stock 225-55-17 = 26.74"
if you could find a 225-45-19 = 26.97" (this is the G37 sport's front tire size)
or, you could use 245-40-19 = 26.71"
