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.

One more question......Does anyone else with the same 18's as me. What did you guys do about the dust caps on the back pushing out the center cap on the wheel!?! Do the make a dust cap that is flat to prevent this?

Thanks guys!
