Got these on Craigslist for 460 with Yokohama Avid's on them. Think I got a good deal....

Do those rims still have the stock size G35 tires on it? 245/45/18 R and 225/45/18 F? If so, you should go to 245/40/18 it'll kill some of that gap you got up front which seems exaggerated by the tires. Otherwise looks good.

Yea, it seems really big in the back and i think might hit over bumps in the back. I heard the 235/40 is the way to go... Will the 245/40 take out that rub in the back? Is it better tan the 235??

When I was on stock springs, yes it did get rid of the rubbing in the back and the only time it really rubbed after I lowered it was with 4 people in the car 245/40 is closer to the stock tire diameter from what I remember. Plus wider is always better, hehe. If ya wanna make sure, go online and find one of those tire size conversion charts, plug in your stock size vs 235/40/18 vs 245/40/18 and go from there.

yea! Nice find! I'd love a set of new shoes for mine, but I just got new tires to the tune of $600 for my 17s. If I got new ones, I'd go for the M45 sport rims.

I looked at those too. But, in all reality I didnt want to spend more than 500-600 on wheels. The car has 105,000 on it. But, it runs real good with no problems and it looks amazing! So, I figured we would dump alittle money into her, she's been a great car to us. The wheels really gave her a huge facelift!

I miss my set of those. They looked great.

Drop is necessary with ANY rims. Car looks 100x better.

Thanks guys!
