FX35/45 20's on coupe....

Will the 20's fit on a coupe without any suspension adjustments? Need new tires, lower profile? Same bolt pattern, offset, etc...

Re: FX35/45 20's on coupe....

Go to the dealer and look at the FX45/35 owner's manual for bolt configuration, offset, wheel width, tire sizes, etc...

What I want to know is HOW MUCH are these puppies! Ask the dealer while you're there. Be prepared to faint. The 18" wheels for an M45, which I bought used and have on my G35c, are $780 apiece at the dealer.

From what I've heard from others on this forum, 20" rims are just fine. I've got 245/45R18V tires on my M45 rims (they're Michelin MXM4s which were included with the rims) and there is absolutely no problem with clearance. The wheel wells are cavernous. I like the 245/45R18s on the front because they fill the opening fairly well. But I'm switching to Michelin Pilot Sport AS in 245/40R18Y in the front and 255/40R18Y in the back. This is closer in diameter to the stock 17" wheels/tires I had and I'm hoping the stagger and lower profile will improve the response and reduce the "tracking" compared to the MXM4s.

Don't forget to post the FX45/35 20" wheel info here. Inquiring minds want to know. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: FX35/45 20's on coupe....

Yes, I also agree .. but I really like these 20s .. chrome em up ... on the black G would be hottttt...

I love rims like yours man.. I love the dish ..
I also really like rims that come right out to the edge .. like the stock 18s and these 20s ..

Either way I called the dealer and they are anywhere from 1300 to 1600 Canadian dollars a piece...
13 to 16 hundred depends on what the sales guy will do for ya.

Later Gs

heres my crap photoshop pic ... of them..
