I know the biggest wheel on cars is 22" (2k3 BMW 745) so I'm wondering if you can go bigger than 21" on the Q...still looks like the wheel well has some room. Looks sharp and not too flashy.

Riding on anything above 20" is not practical but why not? If you got the money go all out. Of course it would only be for car show purposes.

Go checkout the Sema.org website for more pics or look at Overboost.com. I got the pic off the Sema website, they also have the G35/Coupe and M45 pics.

I'm not a big fan of the looks of the new Q but the bigger rims and body kit help an awful lot...

Quote »the bigger rims and body kit help an awful lot[/quote]I still say it looks (and probably rides and handles) like chromed caster wheels.

When one looks to the highest form of open wheel racing, the tires are never that shallow. They could be, but they're not. It's the performance that matters.

That's why Dennis is so willing to take on any other First Gen Q with his 215/65x15 Intermediates on stock wheels at the track. Bigger wheels (on the other car) are his best friend.
