Ok, I got 20 inch shiny wheels in my car, the guy that put the wheels on said not to lower it but i still see that gap....do you think i will see any problems with lowering it besides the wheels cambering a little causing premature threadwear. All i am planning is like a 1 inch drop

 

Sitting on 20s is going to change the dynamics of handling..You can probably use the Eibach Pro-Kit...Why 20s on a G? My head hurts....

You may notice slightly faster wear lowering it 1 inch, but so far it hasn't been an issue for me. I only have about 2000 miles on the 20's, but they are wearing fine and I was able to get it aligned to spec (or very close).

My sedan rubs SLIGHTLY in front on 245/35/20's 20x8.5 ADR Sterlings with a +38 offset. I have heard a +45 offset is fine if you are lowered 1 inch.

SnM--- Why 20's???? Why not? I figure go big or go home.
My G still handles great, and didn't slow down. It is a little rough over nasty bumps, but not bad. I guess it depends if you are after all out looks or performance.

I get both just fine.

I have no problem with 20s, but to me it just doesn't look right on a G...To each his own...And I'll consider performance first every time...

Wow.. If "pulling mad hoes" is your goal, do us a favor and buy a Focus SVT.

Lame.

Umm...So...He goes to the track and "sits on his dubs" while the real drivers are posting 1/4 mile times? I don't get it...

While the G is quick, if you purchased this car for the pure speed factor, for $30+K there are many options for pure speed. If racing is the issue, just get a second set of wheels or keep the stocks for the track. 20's are not too big for the G. 19's are o.k. if you lower it enough, but I don't think they look too big in any way (especially with all the wanna-be ballers with 26" rims on Escalades.)

 

damn!!! you guys don't have to get all bent out of shape, they're just wheels. They didn't slow it down, but it did get a little bumpier. they are 20" Foose Spank 245/35 toyos. And it does indeed pull mad hoes and still spanks the majority of cars on the street and looks bad *** while doing so. For those who have 20's on their G and lowered...do the tires rub at all? i.e. while making turns...or those dips on the freeway....i'm planning just the 1" drop to get rid of that nasty fender gap.

If I wanted a race car i'd build a muscle car.

 

The Foose wheels are nice...I'm considering Lussos for the FX35...One site tells me you can get them spinning, and the other says I can't...Don't suppose you know, since you shopped Foose?

"All the Power in the World resides in the Eyes..."

 

Yes, you can get the lussos spinner but they are not very attractive looking, here's a link http://www.superbuytires.com/wheels_...ml?brand=Foose it shows you both the regular lusso and the spinner lusso along with all of the Foose wheels. But in my opinion I think your FX would look absolutley bitching with the Spank Spinners, take a look ---> http://www.superbuytires.com/wheels_...del=Spank6+SP6

Whats the biggest size you can fit in those? it looks like it could fit 22s, big *** wheel well. Glad to help...PEace

<hr></blockquote> You've gotta be kidding me. "Real drivers"? Who are you, John Force? You "racers" kill me. Some of us drive our "luxury/sport" car to and from work and to the grocery store. We must be wasting our time, since we could be at the track, trying oh-so-desperately to break 100 mph in the 1/4, in a car with reclining back seats...I love my G too, but for some of us, the G35's primary function is transporation while looking good, not winning Le Mans...

I'm with you guys. "If I wanted a race car i'd build a muscle car" That is my stance. I love my G and it is quick, blows away the majority of cars on the road, but it's not a RACE car. Those of you whining about loosing .0001 seconds in the quarter mile because of heavier rims/tires are pathetic wanna-be racers/ricers.

Also the handling is not ruined with Eibach's either. It actually improves.

You may rub in the front depending on your offset. I rub a little bit in the front in driveways, etc, but the idiots at Wheel Max sold me the wrong offset for the front even though I told them it was lowered.
