Cool, those are the rims Hadman has. You need to drop that thing on some Eibach's or something. Unless you like that pseudo-donk look..

havent even driven the car with the new wheels...with the old g35's i would rub like a muhhhh got a lower profile on the front now with 235/40/18 bridgestone's...
i got the whole set for $400 with brand new tires...the whole car for $900 lol...everything works great but just had to replace the lower control arms so that may have caused the rubbing...
ill have to check it out today

pimp. looks like you are giving Hadley a run for his money. these factory rims will always cost more than the car. i got my FX35 18's for $250 on craigslist. the runflat tires i got them at my old job for $200 brand new.

That might be a while depending on how many miles it has and how it has been maintained. If it a GXE auto the tranny is more likely to go first.

I think it would look and perform much better with the 1.2" Eibach Pro-Kit drop, especially with such big rims. If they were 16" or even 17" you might be able to keep it stock height, but those 18"ers look like adult shoes on a young kid

Do you notice the additional rotational mass and weight when you accelerate?

yea they look super nice on the 3rd gen but i agree with grnmaxdmon that thing would look sick lowered..... i honestly wouldnt even reccomend the eibachs, i bought the eibachs and koni reds installed them.... then i took them back off the next day and traded them for intrax, and ive never had a problem with anything rubbing.....
