Need new tires, currently running 245/45/18 all around but wanna lower the car a bit more. Should I go to a 235 or even a 225 fronts are 8.5 and rears are 9.5 and it's a sedan. Thanks.

Depends on what type of look you're going for.. I've ran with stocks and 215/55/17's and been slammed.. Then I've ran a winter setup on 18x9 squared with 225/40/18's
Then onto a staggered setup with a 18x8.5/10. I had 215's in front and a 225 in back.. Mild stretch on both ends. Not my typical style so on I went to my current setup that's an 18x11 squared on a 1st gen sedan. I run a 275/35/18. Up to you, these cars are fairly easy to adapt to whatever you wanna throw under it. Contrary to what most on here are under assumption of. Good luck. Here's a picture of mine. 😎

What you need to do is get some popcorn cause your ride is butter. Leave it alone or upgrade to 19's.

Blue Dream,

I really appreciate that. Too many negative comments seem to keep me off this thread but I'm trying to change that and be more active.

Too be honest the camber and toe specs are something I don't know much about.. I haven't even gotten an alignment since new wheels or since its been lowered >25k miles.. The car for some reason took great to it and it used to be slightly lower.. I raised it up a tad for a more functional driving car. I rolled my rear fenders slightly, and I'm running a federal 595 (cheap) I didn't see the point in spending a lot of cash on another new set my last three were Nitto Motivo, then Nitto NeoGen (great tire btw) and then some NT05's and they get sold of taken off the car for a different project before I even wear the little hair pieces off lol. I've never had a lick of camber wear and used to have loads of it.. For some reason this car seems overly welcoming to any mods I throw at it. I purchased this car as a down grade about 2 years ago and have since fallen in love with it lol. (coming from a 2014 Challenger SRT-8 & a Range Rover Sport.. )

Side note: big car payments are over rated. I enjoy my G more then I enjoyed my RS6. Here's some more photos!





None of these are anything other then IPhone shots but atleast you get an idea. Haha.



Pull up 💎😎

When someone says, "Your ________is butter. That means it's hot. Just a different way of phrasing it. You guys can borrow it if you like but, don't say butter like a nerd pronounce it buttah. That gives it more omph. For instance...That joint is buttah.

My guess is you're right or the VMR version. One of the very few rim choices I contemplated at one time or another for my G. Love the look on a sedan.
