staggered 18s vs 19s

because of the ride factor (and price of course), i would rather roll with 18s. do you think its ghey if i get some staggered 18 inch rims instead of 19s? its not really much of an upgrade, but its cheaper and it wont be stock.

I would say save up a little more for 19s. 18s look too small.

You could get an inexpensive set of 19's and get some tires that are really comfy, that'd solve your concern with ride quality.

Seriously, 19s look fabulous on our cars, 20s are a little bit much and I just bought some lol. But yeah, the tires you choose will drasticly alter things such as ride quality and handling more so than the wheels themselves. Good luck fellow g35er!

I have 18" rims (staggered) on my car and love them, I also had a 19" Maido III GR5's on the car before and I like the ride better with the 18"s
plus they just look like they fit better over the calipers and rotors, I get plenty of compliments with the 18"
but when it comes down to it do what you want, and don't worry what anyone else says, they don't have to drive your car

From the look of the pic above, Those 18's look like 17's but maybe its because of the angle of the pic. i would shoot for 19's and 20's look real good on the G.

I get that all the time.. People think my oem 19s look like 18in..
and when i see 18in they look like 17in rims..

If i were you i would wait and save up some money
and get some deep dish 19s.. with fat 4in lip on
the back.. some people here has them.. with the
right offset they look HOT>.<
