You don't have to be married to appreciate this post I saw on fb, but it helps:

Anyone who got a 280-300 HP version of the G received minimum 225 front 245 rear.
Sedans normally got 235's all around.
The 215's were only offered for a very short period on the lower output (early 03/04) engine, only on sedans, and only on the 17"
They MIGHT have been offered on the AWD, not sure, but if so that is a different ball game and defeats the point you were trying to make.
The point is, any version of this car worth talking about came with wider tires. Any rims worth investigating came with larger tires.

EDIT: the 03-early 04 G's had 260HP, Still more than enough to overwhelm 215's. Anyways, Have you Dynoed your 03 after all the mods?

On another note, I don't get why they never offered a 6MT on the AWD version. It would be exactly what I want.
Year-//-Model-//-HP/TQ-//Transmission
03-04 -SEDAN -260/260- Either
03-04 -COUPE -280/270- Either
05-06 -EITHER -280/270- AUTOMATIC
05-06 -EITHER -300/260- 6MT
07-09 -Sedan -305/270
08-09 -Coupe - same
However in 07 HP ratings changed @ nissan, and elsewher in this timeframe. That means that the actual output is higher in the 07-09 by comparison to the older version, more than the 5HP it looks like on paper.
It's hard to follow, there's been many changes, differnet transmissions give different output, crossing years between coupe/sedan, etc.
Tire size changes are just as hard to follow. But rest assured, the thought that 215's are insufficient isn't a meritted thought.

I need either FWD or AWD, I spend the winters driving up and down mountain roads regularly in 12+ inches of snow. I've gotten stuck in the 05 Pathfinder before, so RWD just won't cut it.
Fyi the new viewsonic monitors suck **** big time they sent me a new one thats basically a tv/monitor and the damn thing is too bright then the text looks funky on it then when you play with the settings it just gets worse from there.i ran the ati self calibration on it and it didnt help much i might hook the sencore machine to it but thats too much work for a damn monitor.hp also sent me more memory and another nvidia workstation card to try to fix the issues i been having but its not fixing it.so now i have more computer crap FFS!

So glad I swapped it for my monitor at work. Now at home I've got two absolutely stunning Samsung 24" monitors side-by-side, in the traditional 16:10 aspect ratio, each running 1920x1280. It's gorgeous.
And at work, I've got this new 24" DELL, with a pair of 17" flat-screens, one on each side. Gives a really nice wrap-around effect.
Real cars dispense with superfluous covers. And are proud to show the world what they're made of, when they drop their pants.

Hey rochester why dont i send you one of these workstation cards you do that type of work i got firepro and nvidia 2000's and i dont do cad/graphics work!my hp service contract sends parts hoping it fixes issues thats why i got friggin 4 of each now and this monitor issue im having is cause the bios update it was the only thing that changed when it happened(pink & blue lines on the screen)still there after changing monitor,memory and vid cards.bios went from 5.14 to 5.26 this week so i'm saying thats the issue so monday hp sending someone out cause i got the 24hr service contract and i want a different monitor this thing sucks big time too bright and cartoonish looking picture if you know what i mean.
My credit card has a limit. I also have to get a new radiator fan assembly since one of my fans stopped working. That was another added expense I didn't anticipate. My estimate is already at $1,000 now with the radiator and fan assembly, and i'm going to be renting a car too for a couple of days.

CJ, I certainly would want that Quadro 2000... but I'm thinking like the old me, when I used to get all jiggy about computer parts. This new DELL is coming with 1g GDDR5, and I can't help but think that's plenty of graphics power to watch youtube videos of stupid cat tricks.
That's very kind of you. Let me get my new PC up and running first, and see if the new computing horsepower gets me interested in computer gaming all over again. At this time, all I'm thinking of doing is loading up COD4 and playing it again, but this time with all the graphics at full tilt, instead of crippled.
BTW, I don't do CAD graphics work either. My work is in custom business applications.

And Tuner i didnt forget about your carpc either i'm gonna get you into one of those somehow.i have some time to clean house i took a month vacation off to support my baby and get her together so i'll be digging thru stuff at home and not be on the computer so much and get a few things done.
Cj, are those XYZ coilovers still a go? I'm interesting in picking up a set once I make a few credit card payments after my upcoming lower rad support repair I have scheduled for next week.
