If you guys know of any 20" step lip or concave wheels in a silver finish let me know!
I'll keep and eye out but just keep looking on here (marketplace) as well as my350z.

245/35 and 275/35 will probably be your best bet. But 245/40 up front would work as well.

Nah, 18's. My gut choice was 40 to help fill in the wheel well more bc of the smaller wheel, but was doubtful bc of the lack of clearance when running a sidewall that big and riding slammed.

Got a question. 2008 G35x A/T
Currently stock height. Want to use Eibach springs to drop 1.4" in front and 1.1" in rear. Will I see tire tilting and need camber adjusting? also is that enough room for a 18" with low profiles?

Just bought an 06 g35 coupe w/ sport tuned suspension and I have stock 19s, would GTM wheels 18" with Goodyear RSA tires be a compatible set up? Note: I don't have much background in cars.

I can't remember your initial question, please ask again with all given info and I will answer.

You'll need and alignment but you want need camber arms, the drop is too small.

There's enough room for a 20 with some serious tire. 18s are kind of small for the G so I recommend going larger. Your OEM wheels are larger in some cases on the second gen.

Not enough info to give a valid suggestion. Get me specs on the wheels and tires and I can try to help. I avoid goodyear tires like the plague though. Just me.

I'm running 18x9.5/10.5 +0/-10 respectively. On 225/245's. Dropped with ~1.8" of clearance to the ground. I was wondering would a 35 series be better than a 40 considering I'm running 18's.

On a side note, I think they should change the thread to "Have a Question/s about wheels? Ask 4DGS here" lol. Thanks in advance for the help man.

Haha, Yea I seem to be the only one in here on a regular basis now.

Personally I would not go to the 35 (this come from someone who ran 18s this past summer with 40s and 35s)

I ran 18x10 18x11 225/40 and 255/35. The tires were way to small and a straight up bitch to get them to look how I wanted. The 40 sidewall gives JUST enough meat on the tires to make it not mess with VDC too much and not make the overall diameter too much.

I'd do the 40 sidewalls for sure. If you go to 19s then 35s are the way to go.

I'm an ******* in the other 90% of this forum so me being a mod would reflect the staff poorly lol however, me being mod of ONLY wheel and tire section would be bad ***

Yes you can run 215/45/18 square without an issue, it's not an ideal set up but I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say it's for winter use?
