well your car 2 years ago looked really nice. guessing it looks nicer now.

Also, i had a question. Will I need to get a new spare tire or will the current 17inch stock g35 rim work fine as a spare tire with these 18inch rims

I know it's been asked and answered before but my memory sucks, forgive me.

What's the preferred type of silicone to use for re-sealing 3 piece wheels after a rebuild? I thought I had remembered it being RTV Black but the set I just broke down was using a clear 30yr silicone.

I'm sure either would be fine but what's the best / safest bet?

What would the difference between 225/40R18 and 225/45R18 tires be. I was told to buy 225/40R18 for the 18 inch rims I purchased. I have a 2003 g35 sport sedan. Everything is stock if that helps. I was just asking because I can get 225/45R18 tires for cheap. Just wanted to know what the difference would be between these two tire sizes.

45 has a thicker sidewall, so your rolling diameter would be bigger

Coupe or sedan (either way, yes it will fit) just depends on how sunk it will look
