Re: 18, 19, or 20?

Hey Pestilence, that tire size (245/35/19) doesnt seem right...

Fronts and Rears should be 225/40/19, although you could go with 255/35/19 but they should only be on the rear rims only..

I might be wrong, but I beleive the size your using now is giving you a smaller overall diameter then stock tires, probably why it seems like your tire setup looks a little small.

What do you think? Does this look like a truck?

hmmm....I doubt it. It's kinda hard to judge from his 'cause he has a kit. To be honest, it's not something I had really considered. I'll tell you what though, if that bottom sill being unpainted really bothered me to the point of me condsidering painting a brand new car, I wouldn't have bought the car! I honestly don't think it makes that big a difference, I kinda like the contrast, I guess. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I agree. They're nice wheels, but they're maybe too racy, too aggressive. (I must be getting old...)

I really don't think they are to racy. They are seven spoke design similar to the coupes factory 18's. Maybe due to it's deep dish design causes it to look a little racy, but I think it should compliment the G35 coupe very well.

gaklid > Painting the lowers makes a huge difference and far better in person. You are looking at about $400US to get the painted. Think about how much you spent on your rims, painting the lowers is SO worth it.

My car (will spray mine before Spring)


AceIt's ride (before he sprayed it)



My car and CadillacCarl2001's car (has a sub in back so looks even lower)


It's still a G thang!!
