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?

another "will this fit" question.
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![Confused2](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/confused2.gif)
Thanks!

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! ...

TE37, aggressive offset.
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.

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.
