Yes, because everyone has to follow the norm and look alike. Minions unite!

 

I'm sorry, must have been very unhappy, especially with the small lips.

Yeah it looks so weird i hate it i donno why anyone would stretch tires. I mean at the very least a 355 on a 9.5

 

It wasn't that bad. The front was a 2.5" lip (just in case I were to upgrade for a BBK in the future, and the rear was 4".

 

Yeah, and curb rash on heavily expose lips FTL. Ever see anyone with gum disease smile? That's what it looks like. haha

 

Curb rash on non-stretched is even more of a fail.(and more people have). people who stretch generally are able to park better and are more aware, therefore less people curbing their wheels

 

you know you can get curb rash even from oem and regulation sized tires right?

at least say something intelligent -_-

 

Thats great guys! I appreciate you helping out an old guy like me! And based on your experience i definitely trust your spec'ing over a shop!

Anyways, heres the car.
2004 G35 Sport Sedan
Lowered on 350z revised springs
Akebono Big Brakes all around
And there is 10mm spacers all around on this now, just because those rims never cleared the BBKs. (I bought the wheels and just ordered the rims based on the stock offsets for the car)

Anyways, the look i'm really looking for is the front wheel on Eurodre's posted car photo. I think that looks pretty clean and sweet.

Any help is GREATLY and ALWAYS appreciated!

And although i somewhat understand offsets and all that, i really know nothing about how to spec a wheel for that specific look.

Thanks again!

 

Yes, but it looks much worst when the lip is exposed like that. But it's your car. Do as you wish.

Not sure exactly why anyone is going for the stretch look. It doesn't look right at all. Stretch tires. bad camber and rolled out fender with paint chipping on the edges. Yeah, not my thing.

 

Just don't stretch it.

Looks okay in this pic. I've seen worst..

This is what a buyer installed on the wheels I sold him. He of course curb rashed his wheels a few days later. lol This was installed on his TL.

 

You're right. I think the tire stretch on the rear is more apparent, but yes, I don't want to stretch the tire.

I just want a nice clean set-up that fills the well up.

THanks!

 

The shop I bought the wheels from recommend this:

My Wheels:
Front: 19 x 9.5 + 24 R-Disc
Rear: 19 x 10.5 + 22 O-Disc

Tires:
Front: 390 245 35
Rear: 495 275 35 or 30

Probably useless since you're looking at 20's?

 

I have curbed OEM wheels before, not once have I curbed my exposed lips. What can you say about that?

 

Those offsets look like they're meant for a sedan

 

Well, anyone have some sizing recommendations?
Thanks

 

Not sure what your looking for but im about 30 mins outside of philly if you wanna meet up and take a look at mine.....sounds like same finish your looking for.
