Same ones as oe. Unfortunately I do not have pix of them.

Also would like to see Centric rotors listed, only Brembo blanks are available.

I went through this with our FX35 and someone was able to update the database since the parts were in stock, just listed under other vehicles.

I just went through the hassle of trying to find two Conti DWS in that size. Apparently the all-seasons are discontinued.
Let me check with my guys here.

We found an application for the car in our system. It will be updated online shortly. Thanks!

Stupid question, for the 06 Coupe, aren't the brakes all the same? On a whim, I search for "Base Model" and see on the site all the "New" listings. Still nothing listed if I pick "w/ Sport Tuned Suspension" that's saved to my garage.

The guy who sold me my 2004 g35 coupe put on American Racing - AR337 Burn wheels, they look alright for now but the only problem is he put 20"s in the back and 18" in the front and told me that 20" apparently wouldn't fit in the front. This is obviously not true considering many G35 owners have 20" wheels. I am looking to balance out the setup and am curious what size/fitment wheels should I get. I found them on this site here http://www.wheelplususa.com/wheels/A...ack+Chrome+Lip

I really do not know what to get so if you could give me the exact specs of what to get for a set of those rims to fit on the FRONT it would be greatly appreciated!

Only front fitment 20" tire I show is a 245/30-20. That will fit wheels 8-9" wide.

Do you have any recommendations for a brand for a tire that size? And if I were to get the AR337 Burn wheels (2 of them for the front) I would get 20x8.5, and bolt pattern 5x114.3 and 30 offset correct?

Neal,

i recently switched from yoko s.drive to v12 evo and have been pretty satisfied. next i was thinking of stepping up to either pilot super sport or advan neova ad08. i also notice the release of the new g-force sport comp-2, which look's pretty comparable to my last few setups. do you think i should just pull the trigger and jump up to max summers or are the sport comp-2s worth a try? if the comp-2s are better than the v12s & s.drives, i think i may try them out. thoughts?

Assuming there's a 275 being used out back, I would check Hankook's Ventus V12 on the summer side or the Conti DWS as an all season tire.

The BFG just came out this month so there's not enough data right now for us to know how well it's going to work. I do know they run super wide compared to others in the same size, so that's something to consider when it comes to fitment.

The Michelin SS is probably the best tire out right now. Anything from G's to Porsches are using them. Treadlife warranty, excellent dry, great wet, good ride, etc makes it a great option.

2 quick questions. I currently have 255/35/20 all the way around on my awd X. Would switching to 245 improve handling/steering? Also is it possible to run 245/35 front and 255/35 on the rear? The two fronts are worn and the two rears are almost new. Rims are 8.5 wide btw.

The difference in handling/response between those two will be minimal. Only talking 1/4" on either side your losing by using a 245. Wet traction and snow (if an all season tire) will slightly increase with a narrower footprint though. Due to the difference in outer diameter, I would not mix/match the sizes on an X.

Honestly do not carry that line of wheel so it's hard for me to say. However, the offset on those rears does seem a bit low compared to other 8.0/9.5 combos we do carry. Checking with a TSW retailer will answer that for sure.

So Neal can you get a better price on tires than what I see on line from the Tire Rack? In a couple months I'm going to need 2 new Michelin PS2s 245/35X19 for my front end and I want them dated this year. Is that possible for less than the Racks $400 each + shipping price from you?

Best I can do is same price listed online. Owners set lowest price possible so everyone gets the same great deal. Call me direct or mention my name on your order and I'll expedite it for you.
