here is my car. i traded in my 2006 Is250 AWD for the G35xS. So far i like it. Only thing i've done so far is put some 22"s on it.



Pic of my IS250 AWD. Deeply missed!!!

 

nice and clean.

can i ask why you traded in? dont get me wrong i love my G. but an IS was another car i was looking into. just like your input.

 

Big Pimping

 

the reason for trading in the IS250 was because of how awfully slow it was. IMO it looks a lot better than the "G". But I hate all show and no go.

 

Lol i was thinking the same exact thing before i even scrolled down to see your answer. I rode in a friend of mines before. We were following a friend with a is350 and going kinda fast on the interstate. The 250 had a hard time keeping up with the 350. I was like oh come on it cant be that bad haha. Drove it, and yea, it was smooth acceleration but it just felt like it was struggling when it came to merging and stuff like that

 

nice G bro... i think you should look into a drop
a lil off topic, but wut color was that IS never seen that color b4!

 

its a very rare color. its called Desert Sage Metallic..... It was my favorite thing about the car. I the "G" came in it.

I am gonna drop it im just deciding which springs to use... Tanabe NF210 or Tein H-techs. I think im gonna get rid of the 22"s and just put on some FX45 20"s in hypersilver with a set of 10mm spacers up front with 15mm spacers out back. the 22"s look cool put you can definitly notice a decrease in both performance and gas mileage.

 

welcome to the forum!

 

those 22's look really out of place. definitely ditch them. the fx's rims aren't all that great on the g, but hey i guess it would look good to you. the m45s's 19's on the other hand are kinda sexy

 

Yea i realized they look outta place so they got taken of and sold. I ordered my fx45 20"s last night. I didn't get the old style fx rims i got the new 2008
20"s in hyper silver. Here is a pic for a reference for you.

I too like the M45 19"s but my car came with the sport 18"s one inch isn't worth switchin.

 

hmmm not bad. def. need to see pix of them on the car when they come.

how wide are the 20's?

 

The 20"s are only 8" wide with a +40 offset. but im gonna rock some spacers at all four corners.

Whatcha think???

 

run 245's or wider on them and it's all good. half the reason I'm thinking m45sports is the extra half inch. i *hate* the stagger and want to go wide at all four corners

 

I just got a set of 245/35/20 Falken 452's for them. I hope its a smooth ride. I was gonna go for the 255/35/20 but a kid down the street from me had a brand new set of the 245's for 300 bucks so i couldn't pass it up

 

255 on an 8" rim is a bit difficult with some tires. i ran 245's comfortably on my last car (17x8's) but stuffing 255's on that width would have had your tire guy swearing at you, haha
