Got my new rims today (20's)

[mikeym45x]

K got my new rims today Lexani LX-10 polished with black lips, I have an 08 M45x. I did 20x8.5 all around with 255/35-20 Falken 452s. Very happy so far, no rubbing, ride is only slight firmer, maybe 5-10% , rides noticeably better then my fx35 with stock 18s and way better then my G35 coupe with stock 18s, handling is MUCH better car feels much less heavy and sloppy on turns. Offset is 38mm all around, they wound up looking very flush to the outside fender, which is look I wanted. Might have noticed a very slight decrease in accel/braking, but not sure if it's in my head.(When I left shop i had the old rims... 200+ lbs of tires/rims in the car) Here's some pics, deciding if i want to lower it , definitely getting the OEM spoiler soon tho...

Nice! Tint the windows though. Even a conservative tint would make a difference. I would also say that car is begging to be lowered. Nothing too drastic, but an Eibach kit would do the trick.

Good job!

thnx guys, not sure about the tint, they hassle you around here with anything on the front side windows, even light tint, and I think I'm gonna get my hands on the springs made for the m35x and lower it about an inch , just ordered the OEM infiniti spoiler from Burtman, I'll post more pics when it's all done. Oh took a long drive last night, the Falken tires are as good if not better in the rain then the stock ones and over smooth pavement I think they're even quieter.

[/QUOTE those look sick

[infinitim35x]

it's gonna look sweet lowered.

post some side profile pics, not just corner angles please?

did your camber change in the rear with the bigger wheels? (are your rear tires going to wear uneven?)

[mikeym45x]

Sorry this was actually supposed to be in those pics, I didn't realize i had posted the far away angle one twice...

Not sure if the camber changed, overall tire diameter is .25 inches larger then stocks. Doesn't seem to have changed noticeably though. I'm lowering it about 1.25 inches in the next few weeks and will get it realigned at that time. I can let you know then what is is now and what it winds up after the lowering.
