18-20" rims

I was wondering. I have an oirder for the G35C 6MT. These of course have the brembo packages. Can anyone confirm what width of the tires can fit. I have heard mixed thoughts and facts. I would love to get 10 inch wide tires in the back and maybe 9-9.5 in the front with some 19 or 20 inch rims. What do you guys think? Also, if you guys know of a great tire & wheel website?

Z,

My saleman said that he has had on of his customer's put on 12 on the rear, so 10 shouldn't be a problem. IN MY OPINION: 9.5 on the front would be ok. If you're gonna go 10 in the rear, might as well go 9 in the front. Go w/ a 275/35/20 or 280/30/20 on the 10 inch rear, and 245/35/20 in the front. Not sure if its more the offset or the design of the rim, or both that you have to be concerned with clearing the brembo's. Good luck.

Re: 18-20" rims

hey KKH713X
Do you any problems rubbing w/ your tire sizes? I plan on ordering 20's this week w/ the same tire sizes. I really do not want to run a 30 series tire. The roads in NJ are horrible...
Thanks

Re: 18-20" rims

I was very very happy that there is no rubbing whatsover with my setup.......... not sure how much more room I have in the front though... but I'm still thinking a 9 or 9.5 should be ok....but not sure.......... Still have a crap load of room in the rear.........

kkh713x,

Thanks for the quick reply and information. Just out of curiosity.. what setup are you currently running on your wheels? How wide are your tires? I take it you have the brembo package as well...

Z.

245/35/20 8.5 on front
275/35/20 8.5 on rear

Nitto Extreme NT555

In my honest opinion....perfect would have been:

245/35/20 9 front
275/35/20 10 rear

or 280/30/20 10 rear.....

Good luck man..... I do not have Brembo's, just the premium package........

Re: 18-20" rims

thank you for the tip. do you think the 280/35/20's will be ok on the rear even if the car is dropped a inch? Will it tuck or just hit the fender?

K,
Love the wheels man.............. What type of wheels are those....make/model? Also what are your offsets. It is important if someone wants to put wheels like that on their car.

I found some 18x8 wheels locally for you for a great price. FRD Racing (made by Mille Miglia).
What do the rest of you think?

Re: 18-20" rims

I honestly think that's a good deal. Where can you get them? Somewhere in Toronto?

BTW, I mounted my 18'' Blizzaks on ROH wheels 18 X 8 rims
They look like this but on my Silver G35 Coupe

Re: 18-20" rims

Unfortunately, my guy in Edmonton doesn't ship. If you call around locally, at this time of year, he says many wheel dealers are willing to discount their stock, as high performance wheels don't sell well in winter. Come spring though, and you'll pay close to list.
