Viet, what is your wheel and tire setup? Wheel specs, offset, tire specs, etc.

Tires are 255/40/18 and 225/40/18. Wheels are 18x8/9. I forget the offsets, but I am running a 20mm spacer up front. Once I go coils, she should sit pretty.

I love your car.

When I bought my G it was between my silver one, and one the color of yours. Sadly, the dealer with my silver one gave me a better deal.

Great pics, and tasteful mods.

I don't get it.

Why did you go with those sizes? They must cause all kinds of grief with your VDC/SLIP. The front tire size is more than 1-3/4" shorter in diameter than stock ( 6.6% error), and the rear size is 8/10" shorter (3.06% error). Running shorter isn't such a big deal by itself, but the net difference between your front and rear is like 3.6% !! Your traction control must go off constantly.

Was this all just for looks and to heck with the functionality?

I came looking for 2008 in light silver... apparently they had already sold it and never took it off their site. So I left with a sport that's a year older for the same price in this color.

I don't like seeing a lot of sidewall and it would look goofy on a lowered car. And of course, clearance.

So it is all for looks then, and to hell with functionality.

Well I got the front tires because they were a steal. Bridgestone Potenza run flats for $90 mounted/balanced for both. I will be going back to 225/50/18 after these.
