Wheels

It pains me to ask this since I know its probably pretty redundant. But, I looked around a bit and didnt see anything. Is there an on-going thread for pictures of member rides with various wheels? Reason I ask is that im in the market for wheels and I didnt want to start one of those cheesy "what wheels should I get" threads. (even though I think I just did)... But when i used to be over on the Audi threads there was always a comprehensive sticky'd thread of member cars with all the various wheels they have had and tried out. I just like to be able to see how the wheels look on the car and if theres spacers involved, tire profile, stretched, rolled fenders etc. So mods feel free to delete/move this, but is there a thread like this yet?

Thanks in advance

eh.... helps, but wading through 300 pages of "will this rim clear" and "how do i make my rims hellaflush" is a bit tedious. I was hoping there was just a thread for wheel, tire, and suspension setups without all the retarded banter. I guess a better example of what im looking for is www.rimtuck.com. Its just the actual information on peoples setups with a couple pictures for each setup. simple, informative, and to the point. but limited on selection and different wheel types. was kind of hoping something like that would exist here, as it does on some of the other forums ive been involved on.

haha, I'd probably rebuild em either way. They'd fit my Q nicely though.

My Bazerias are 19x10 -1 19x11.5 +16 (sedan obviously)

Fronts are about to get relipped to 11s.

His questions is, if he puts the 255's on the front and the 245's in the rear would it be bad to drive the car? Since the 255's are wider but the 245's are bigger in height. Thanks.
It would be dumb.... Tell him to stop being cheap and buy the correct tires.

Hoping this is a coupe...

You can fit those without a roll or anything and won't rub. However, 20s and not lowering your car looks terrible.

Look for 19s.

Pains me to ask but please break up your run on sentences if this doesn't answer your question.

The general media share has a tonne of photos man, theres even threads dedicated to each colour, just find the kind of fitment you want then start deciding on wheels.

Once you know the specs you're after it'll make finding the wheels easier.

Then go on rim tuck and look through the tonnes of G35s on there... If you really feel like making a difference, make a thread and post all those cars on rim tuck to a thread so in the future people like yourself won't have to look far!

Did you trade the G? If so what did they give you value on it?
