Currently have a 05 G35x Sedan TWILIGHT BLUE

I have narrowed in on the Forgestar F14 rims. Just dont know if I should go with the brushed titanium or Gun Metal Finish? 19's or 20's?

Most likely going with the 19x8.5 Approx weight 22.5 lbs- all around. Unless someone can convince me to go 9"W all around, not sure if that is possible up front on the X. Since I do have the X I don't want to deal w running staggered. Please help me out since I am sooo indecisive!!!

Also don't have any immediate plans for a drop... When I do I am going with the BC coils, but that won't be for some time $$.
Thank you in advance for the input!

 

Silver (brushed titanium) is a timeless color - goes with everything and never goes out of style.

 

the brushed titanium looks really goood good choice in rims its really a hard decision to pick which to get ,n i mst say nice car , haha i have the exact same car 2005 twillight blue X, but same question as you is it possible to run a 9 W all around or say like 19X9.5 ? you got any ideas for tires you gonna run bro?

 

Not exactly sure what tires I am going to run need to research more-
Most likely Bridgeston or Michelin.

Also not sure if I am going to use these strictly during summer or all season...

The F14's also go all the way to 11"W!!

I'm the only one that chose 19 X 8.5 gunmetal?

 

you could do stagger if you wanted to. you can run 10.5 on the back

 

Meh, don't want to deal w pulling the fuse or compromising the AWD system.

 

you dont need to pull the awd fuse, just keep tire diameters within 3% of eachother.

there is plenty of X's running staggered

 

Not a big deal to me, I like having the ability to rotate my tires as well..
Also not really sure what you mean by keeping the diameters within 3%...?

 

^ to use the same size tires on all 4 corners, same tire size on the rear rims as in the front

 

I would go for gunmetal also, why? b/c the TB will match up nice with the darker colored wheels..

 

The AWD cares about tire diameter, not width. You could have 14" wide rear wheels with 405/35/19's on there and as long as the DIAMETER is the same as the fronts your AWD system will be happy.

Typically, 3% difference is the rule for most ABS system. Any larger and it will fault the system. With AWD, i like to stay within 0.1" difference. In normal mode, there is enough slip in the transfer case to eat up any difference in tire sizes (within reason), but when you put in SNOW mode, the transfer case is fully engages, so if your tires aren't exactly the same diameter, then the ground better be snow covered because the wheels will need to slip to make up for the difference.

But i fully agree on wanting to be able to rotate tires for best wear.

 

If you dont already know SDGenius is rocking the 19" Gunmetals on his car and they look AMAZING!! I have been seriously considering buying these wheels. The gunmetal looks sick on GF cars, which is what mine is. On yours i think they would both look good, just different looks.

Have to see if I have money left over after my new yard this spring.

Either way, great wheels. SDGenius is running 8.5" +35 up front and 10" +42 in the back.
I think you'd be fine with 9" all the way around, thats what I want to do. I dont dig the staggard look, I like'm flush and even. I just cant decide on 19" or 18", I really dont want to take a hit on performance even though these wheels rock.

Whoring out SDGenius sweet ride

 

You can run 19x9 on there, crap I was able to put a 19x9.5 with a 275 on the front.

 

haha, sweet
