Baby got new shoes.

Baby got new shoes.

I've been looking to get a set of these for months now. Finally got the right deal. I always imagined getting 18s but I fell for this style on the G35 and the only real way to get it is to accept that they're 19s and staggered. No problems on the stock suspension but as you can see, there will be a few issues when I want to drop. And I'm sure I'd be rubbing if I loaded her up with SG's like we did for HIN. Gotta admit though... they really fill those wells up.

Fronts are 19x8" 225/40R19 89Y, 30mm offset
Rears are 19x8.5", 245/40R19 94Y 33mm offset

She's dirty as hell, but here's some pics...

Bumps aren't bad w/ the 19s, but the potholes hurt bad. Might need to step up the c/o plans now to compensate for the loss of rubber.

I was hoping the center caps were the same size as ours, but no joy. I'll have to see if that's something I can replace. I could do without the infiniti logo.

Wow, they look great! I can't believe you've been running on stockies this whole time. Enjoy the new rims, buddy!

Just a quick question. What grilles are you running, and how much were they? I noticed some SG's have them, but I couldn't find them when I search (go figure, it sucks!).

Also, don't forget to do the custom hole fillers for those front plate holes. It makes the world of a difference for a little $5 mod.

Trenz upper/lower. I think I put the price in the "Tutorial"/product review. I'll check.

Those are "custom hole fillers" but I haven't painted them yet. (1 year and counting... what can I say)

Haha, you lazy! I guess I can't talk though, it took me over 2 months to finish my "custom" TRD FSB. How did you get the holes to be flush with the body? Mine stick way out and my fillers don't go on straight. :(

Sweet wheels Mike! If you go the C/O route, are adjustable struts available? If so, I'd go with that. (More $$ though) Tein has a nice remote adjustment setup that would allow you to change the ride as you drive. (not the height, just the stiffness of the valving in the struts.) Chicago roads can be brutal and the adjustment would be slick.

Congrats!
