Re: M45 18s on G....
i would consider it, if the wheels were better looking. the stock wheels on the g are far nicer imo. do you have the sedan? why not get the coupe wheels instead? they're FAR nicer. although the coupe's 18s are staggered, you can still fit 235/45/18 there if you want that size...

Re: M45 18s on G....
sure they'll fit. well, they'll fit the stock 18s, not the stock 17s. lol. the stock tires are 225/45/18 in front and 245/45/18 in back. the rims front and back are the same width, but the tires sizes are staggered. find a coupe owner who's getting aftermarket wheels and buy the set from them. besides, if you're worried about finding tires, keep in mind that the tires on the m45 wheels aren't going to last forever, so you'll have to find 235/45/18 tires eventually. besides, how much are those m45 wheels anyway? they can't be much cheaper than the coupe's wheels, right? i plan to use the coupe's stock 18 tires, then decide later on what tires will replace them after they're worn. i won't have a whole lot of time to decide though, seeing as those pilot sports won't last that long. whatever you decide, good luck...

NICE!!!!!!!!
but I wonder if the 18s will look like that on the sedan...
it seems to dwarf the wheels... my friends actually said that my 17s looked like 16s....
Jumpman35 thanx for all the infos and advices.... I guess this is what I'll do... m45 tires on coupe rims.... unless I get rich and buy Volk rims.... ^_^

That looks sweet as hell, but 18's wouldn't look that big on a sedan. That size (235/45/18) is the same overall height as the stock tires (26.3 inches) and that photoshop job makes them look like you would WANT them to look(bigger), not what they would really look like...still, that photoshop pic does look good
Thats why I have 20's!

I agree, I think 18 wheels would look good after dropping the car, but I would rather just buy wheels that were the right size so I don't have to lower it! The wheel wells on these cars are really big relative to the size of the car, and if you read the posts on this site, just about every person who has put aftermarket wheels on their car either wishes they had 1.Gone with a bigger rim, 2.A larger aspect ratio tire, or 3.suddenly has the urge to find out all they can about lowering springs. My wheels are 1/2in. taller than stock, and they fill those big wheel wells nicely. I get loads of compliments and looks all the time!
