Yeah man, raise it up about 4" with a Skyjacker lift kit, and then you could even run some 28"s!! All in the name of the largest possible wheels that you can buy. BTW, there's no Y in Infiniti.

Here's a clown car to give you a good idea

oops with the y, haha, long day, that would work, but do u think they would fit stock?? i have 20's that fit fine, i was wondering if I raised the suspension with the stock airbags in the 92Q45a without actually adding a lift kit if it would fit or should I assume that if they dont fit without the car raised they shoudlnt be on period?? thanks again

LOL @ Falk

Honestly I dont think they will fit on a G50 (92 q) because they barely fit on my 2005 Q without modding or cutting. I can actually go 22x10 in the front because the wells are so big. But Im sure if you wanted them to fit you would have to trim the inner fender and the front wheel well. But what do i know... theres a early model Q on cardomain with 22's and on the website superbuytires.com.

But seriously the early model Q's werent designed to handle that big payload and stress on a car. Your car is around 15 years old or older and they will decrease whatever life you have left on it significantly. Stick with 19's or 20's and call it a day.

if you start replacing the tire arm and all you will be spending more than the worth of your car... yes you will be getting over your head. Just wait till you start to replace your pads, rotors, struts, etc

Your tire would probably end up hitting the third link in the front suspension; I don't think you could mount them even with offset adjustments...

Plus itd be a damn shame to have your Q slowed by the weight!

20's look damn big to me on a G50. although my 18's seem small sometimes

Man, that Mary Kay bride of Frankenstein Q45 on eBay has a cousin!

Too much inbreeding in that family.

HAHA! I like how the wheels are almost bigger than the car! Now all he needs is to get some studded off road tires and he'd be set.

And from the title I thought this was going to be another fuel pump thread!
