I like the look. They're easy to clean too.

i know. the best thing is that with it being a bigger tire with a low profile. the ride is still smooth. she even handles better too!!!

I'm running 235/50-17 which was a little wide until I replaced the struts. I've got a new set of Goodyear RSA but they're 235/55-17. I'm concerned about the tires rubbing even with new struts and will probably sell them before using them. What size are you running on your Q?

it's funny i really didn't pay attention but the front has 225/50r17's goodyear rsa! the rears has 235/50r17 bridgestone potenza's.

i was concerned about abs function but it seems fine.

the 55's should clear the rear's no problem.i think your talking about the upper arm in the front.i'm gonna have to take a look at that tomorrow cause it should clear.

you see the g35 rims (which i did'nt know)the fronts are 7.5" wide. i belive with an offset of 30.while the rears are 8"wide with the same offset.

the 55's should fit.the fronts have 50's series and there's bout an inch -/+ of clearance without hitting the arm.

The upper arm didn't rub but it did rub on the fender lip with the car loaded with more than just me.

hmm. thats kinda weird. and that sucks too!those rsa are very good tires.i'm looking for a good set myself.the other day we had a snow storm and it was bad.every time my mom would press the gas the wheels would spin. the rear tires are somewhat brand new. bridgestone potenza's i think.

anyone else runs into this problem with with the 1st gen Q?
