18" Wheels -Post em Up-

I know most are into 19's and 20's. But for those of us w/18's post up your wheels.

As a note: I'd love to get 19's or bigger, but the fact that I put 25K miles on my car a year is not very feasible.

On to the pics.

Privat Reserv 18x8 40mm offset on 245/40/18

Nothing wrong with 18's. Coming from owning a Honda, 18's are comparative to 20's for the G35. I think the main reason why most go with 19's or 20's is because we can.

With that said, the 18's on your sedan look HOT.

^^^that's a very good point. I'd like my next set of rims to possibly be 19's or larger, I just can't justify spending an extra $700-$1000. Plus the fact i'd be replacing tires every year at the rate I put miles on this car. Too me, it just doesn't make financial sense.

Plus, I like how the 18's look and the nice low weight they have as well.

^^^Love the look. I see you have 18x9 in a 30 offset on 225 all-around.

Do you think I could fit 18x9 in a 40 offset on 255/40 all-around?

If yur gonna go with a +40, i'd go with a 245/40 all around. Or even a 245/45. 255 might be a little wide.

In this pic I am running 18 x 8.5" with 42mm offset, with 255/40/18 PS2 tires.
I now have 245/45/18 PS A/S tires all round.
