Hello all, I just bought a car that has Bridgestone Blizzaks (LM-22) on them. The front tires have 9/32 tread left, the rear only have 6/32 tread left. My question for you is how long in miles or kilometres should these tires last on normal driving? I have a 2000 KM (1200 miles) trip coming up, and want to check if I should already have some tires on order atleast for the rear.

Also, if I should be replacing the rear tires soon, can I replace the rear but not the front?

 

Hi I am looking to buy a set of winters and I have 04 brembos.

I am looking at a wheel with size 17" x 8" - 38 (offset) for all four wheels...

Will this have enough clearance for the brembos? and do you recommend this size?

from tire rack they recommend 17" 8" 35 (offset).

Please help

Thanks!

 

Is that a typo the offset on the wheels is (-38) or (+38)?

 

I think you need to be at like +33 minimum for brembos no?

 

yes, what i mean is +38.

hmm i see. so then the 38 will clear the brembos? will there be any damages to the car if the wheels are not in the recommended spec from infiniti?

I am looking to get a set of winters with 225/50/17 fronts and 225/55/17 rears with 17x8 +38 offset rims.

From tirerack.com the recommended rim downsizing for 17" was 17x8 +35

Thanks guys! ...

 

Anyone know what wheels these are??







Edit:

Not sure if i actually like it or not.

 

Im getting rid of my Volks GT7, and upgrading myself to some Volks TE37. I want the TE's to have an aggressive offset, the face SUPER concaved. I have the oem Brembo calipers, and was wondering what offsets are available for me. my fenders are not rolled, but I have no problem doing so.

 

is it okay to run four 19x8.5? any cons for this opposed to having it bigger in the rear?

 

Wondering about performance and thread lasting tires. Current set-up 225-35-20 n 255-35-20. Slammed on tein flex coils. Currently running Falken FK452s Rear and Yoko S-Types front.. Im hearing Falkens perform good for a lil bit til the thread wears out. Apparently Falkens dont last that long, so my question is whats the best performance/lasting tires (or somewhere in between) that I can buy for my wheels. Also would have to consider im on a semi-stretch set-up. 9.5 front n 10.5 rear.

 

Hey guys, I picked up a set of of 19x8 with +45 offset (yes, I know). I'm in the process of finding spacers. Will 10mm front, 5mm rear work? Would I also need to install longer bolts? Thanks for replies. I'm worried of ruining the wheel in the front since it might rub against the strut. I'm dropped on 350z struts/springs.

 

No cons besides having skinny wheels, you can run a non staggered setup if you like.

Mike I like Nitto tires I got good performance out of them and last very well, but the generals strech nice and a very cheap.

IS this for a coupe or a sedan, if its a coupe you are going to want much more than a 5 -10 mm spacer. I would say along the likes of 30 all around at least. Also it depends on the spacer you are installing but longer studs are recommended for anything 5 and over. I ran 5mm on my stock studs for a while, I felt like I was getting enough turns on the lug, but its not worth the couple of bucks a stud to risk it.

 

Its a sedan. I just spoke with G35parts and they suggest 15mm at least. I think i will go with those. Most of the spacers come with longer studs, so that should not be a problem.

 

^You can fit 15mm and not rub for sure. I talked to a member on here that's running 19x8 +30 front and back, and he had no rubbing issues, so I decided to go with the same setup. You could probably even go with 20mm and not rub, but I'm not sure on that.

 

04 coupe. GT-S +17,+18 with 255/35/19 & 275/35/19. Flex's are as low as they will go in the rear and the front is as low as it can go without stopping the wheels from turning. What size spacer and tire would be ideal to run a mild setup?

 

^ for mild set-up, i'd do at least 10 mm front and rear and 235/35 front and 275/30 rear.
