All you 20" wheelers or non stock offsetters...does your M still tramline?

Just curious to know if offsets or wheel size changes affect tramlining. I know that the wheel size change shouldn't, but I am curious to know an effect can be determined with an offset?

Yes its Effect

I change my wheels to 20 Inch & change my Tires " Road Stone " & the Tramlining 95% disappear

And the car now became little bit more smother than before !!!!!

tire size is 245-20-35

Stock with 18 inch Goodyear it did tramline. Put of FX 20's with Nitto's, still tramline a bit. Lowered the car, no tramline at all. Much better ride now.

Not sure if it ever "tramlined" Every Infiniti ive ever owned, (2 G35s and and FX35) all has a massive tendency to immediately swerve when you took you hand off the steering wheel for a split second. This wasn't an issue when securely holding the wheel. After I put my 20s on with 255-35/20 Falken tires this decreased by 90%, which actually surprised me.

It depends on the rim. On mine there is a little valley in the barrel. They put the sensor in there. So even with a flat it wont be broken. I'll take having it and risking breaking one because it could save me from a full on flat.

Petrol, any body work needed to fit those 295's? I wanted to run a staggered 285 setup, but was told it would rub.
