Very hot!

I'm not sure what the appeal of having Sentra badging on your Infiniti is, though.

I'd say you have 35 or 40 series tires now. I know you like the look, but if you want a better ride I would say go with 45 or 50 series.

I ordered them from http://www.infinitipartspeople.com They were a pain to install, especially the second time without instructions. Luckily I had a floor jack accessible and a nice set of tools. They took about 6 months to finally get to my house from overseas though so don't expect speedy shipping.

First, thanks for revamping the thread!

The backs are 265/30Z R19Fronts 245/35Z R19

I WOULD NOT recommend getting tires this wide though. The increased grip due to the larger surface area messed up some rear suspension components is going to cost me about $500+ in replacement parts. I'll be going back to stock pretty soon. Anyone want some wheels?

Looking for a possible trade? I have the Murano 18x7.5's, +35, polished/painted. I know these look great on 4th gen Max's, just haven't seen any on an I. Here are some more pics:

They do look nice but almost a little to blingy for me. What do yall think about these g35 wheels painted?



Edit: Come to think of it, hell, I might have some luck with painting the oem wheels. Let me know what yall think, pic taken before side skirts BTW.

I'll paint them silver or charcoal for you. Your choice.

They have 245/45 tires, filled with nitrogen, less than one year old, less than 5000 miles on them. Only reason I know they have less than 5K is because they came with free rotation at every 5K and I only drive it on Saturdays lol.

Thanks for the offer man but I'm really hemoraging on cash right now after hearing from the mechanic I think I'm gonna see how painting the stock wheels go. Let me know what you think about it though.

Looks clean. Could use a little bit of a drop. And lose the SE-R badges, that's the only thing that really ruins that car for me(minus that they only came in automatics).

Haha thanks, I'm considering removing the badge, it was more of a joke with my brother who added a type r badge to his 80 something nissan pickup.

I think the stockies would look great painted. I guess your looking for cash for the wheels instead of trade. How much you lookin to get?

Yeah I need to offset the cost of the repairs. I bought them for 300 and spent 600+ on the tires, which are a couple months old, so I'm probably going to ask about 6 or 700.

Nice looking I. Just got on but I've had the 30 for a while. I wish I had the next model up (2000+) because it looks so much better than mine and seems to have more options.

What kind of rims are these photoshopped on the car? Muranos? As in Nissan's suv? Still trying to unload them?
