Bad tread life in general, they also get noisy after they wear down a little.

Recently I have found myself falling in love with the Volk GT-S wheels and while searching on Ebay for a beater winter set up (I hate the stock 17s) I came across the Vertini Dust wheels. They look like GT-S reps, am I correct in thinking they are. Checked out their website and they don't say what the wheels are... Forged? 1 piece cast? 2-3 piece? At 400-500 a wheel I would hope they are more than just pretty 1 piece cast reps. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with these?

They're expensive 1 piece cast fakes....

You'd have to switch the front tire size to a 245/40, you might be ok with the 245/45 but it may throw off the AWD a little.

But the wheels will fit fine, I'd recommend rolling the fenders just to be safe.

Thanks how about the rears they seem way bigger but with a shorter sidewall I was told to make sure the front and rear had the same diameter is this correct? I appreciate the advice

Thanks. For that pricing I will just save an extra 500-1000 for some used real wheels on the marketplace.

Recommended wheel tires sizes in 20s? Looking for semi aggressive setup. And I'm slamming it.
Here's what I currently have. 05 sedan on BC coils, SPC rear camber, rolled f/r fenders, 19x9.5 all around TSw Londrina chrome +15/+10 with 225/35.

Thinking of 20x10/11 in +15/+25 with 225/235 30 tires. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Yea they just need to be within 3% of each other in overall diamater and you're fine.

Yea, no idea why they're trying to charge so much for chinese cast wheels.

You need to spend some time in the aggressive sedan thread before diving into those wheels.

1. 235/30 on an 11 is going to be pretty retarded
2. Specs won't match aggressiveness.

To make these look right this is how I'd set it up.

Front
20x10 +15 with a 5mm spacer (making it +10)
225/35
natural camber from slamming the car should put these right outside the fender with enough movement to clear, if not I would recommend front camber arms. This is to make the front match in aggressiveness to the rear)
Rear
You're going to get stuck here.... you will need a spacer to clear the strut and a pull to allow the spacer. 20s make camber an issue as the wheels are much taller than 18s or 19s.

20x11 +15 (with spacer)
245/35
-6 degrees of camber (you may need to switch to battle version camber arms to achieve -6 degrees)
and then the rest will need to be done in fender work.
You may be able to pull it off with 20x11 +20 and -5 degree but you will need a lot more pullage....

So i just bought some wheels for my 06 g35 coupe. Wheel specs are 19x10+9 in the front and 19x11+20 in the rear. I was thinking of running 235/35/19 in the front and 255/35/19 in the rear. What tires do you guys recommend? I've been looking at falkens and yokos.

Thanks

Also i forgot to mention I am lowered on fortune auto coilovers and still have a spc camber kit and spl toe arm to install with all this.

For a 19x10.5 30et rear on my sedan, what would be ur suggestion for a good set of camber arms? Also, as far as tires go, what would u suggest as far as Nexen n3000, Achilles, Nankang NSII, or Federal 595's? Id rather go with a directional budget tire because I can eventually flip them and dont see the point of running $1000 worth of tires that will get camber worn. I know the Federals run wide, and the Nankang small. For size 265/30's, or 245/35's or would another size be more appropriate? I think Marcus is running a 245/35, so I assume it would be comfortable for daily use?

Thanks for the help, just wanna make sure I get it right the first time.

Stretching isn't necessary for those specs. Is there a reason you want those tire sizes or do you plan to add spacers?

SPC is probably your best and simplest bet for RCA.

Marcus doesn't his daily car and he runs Yokos, so not sure what comparison that is.

Nankangs or achilles are your best bet. 245/35 will be optimal for ride comfort due to the larger sidewall but 265s will mount and be removed much easier.

Will the 245/35 be a safe enough stretch to daily or take a long trip on you think? Or should I just stick to the 265/30?

I'm trying to figure out a better setup for my 05 G35x sedan for next year.

I'm thinking 19x9.5 +12 all around 245/40/19
On Bc racing Coils 25" fender to ground all around
Spc camber kits w/ toe bolt Front and rear
Rear fenders rolled

Can you point me in the rite direction for flush/semi aggressive/willing to run a mild stretch if needed setup =)

Looking to the future as my 18x8.5 +25 1.3 camber front 2 degree camber rear rite now just isn't doing it for me, I think 19's and a bit wider will look alot better on my ride.

Trying not to run more then 3 degrees of camber.

My ride currently, pic was taken before it was settled.
