are 18s to small for g35...want CCW

so i was planning on getting CCW LM 20s for my 06 coupe but realized CCW only makes LM20s up to 18 inches i really wanted 19 inch wheels as i feel 18 are to small what do you guys think will 18 inch wheels look funny on the coupe and yes i will be lowered on accuair ride suspension so if height comes it to play i plan to be slammed.

Most members that track their cars run 18" wheels/sticky tires. I made the costly mistake of buying 18" Volk wheels for the street! Now running 19" Volks and Michelin Super Sport tires, my favorite combination for looks and performance...Gary

If you want form over function, then def go for the 19s.

Most members don't track their cars that's why I told you I preferred 19" over 18" wheels!

Best advice ^ 19s just look better than 18s or 20s! Check out our Marketplace under private classified, members selling their cars often sell very nice wheels at a bargain price...Gary

Go to "The Tire Rack" and see what they recommend, they sell wholesale so you won't beat their prices. I've used every major brand tire, the only one that has never let me down is Michelin! If you're aware of tire ratings look for the UTQG, 300 should be the minimum with AA A ratings. Our G35s love sticky tires so stay away from those super high mileage tires rated at 500...Gary

Coupes have large wheel wells so I personally wouldn't go with anything smaller than 19".

18's


still 18's


throwback 18's



I don't technically "track" my car and I've never run anything but 18's.

And lastly, the reason WHY I stuck with 18's in the first place.
