I took some pics recently and was going to wait and add them in a few weeks when I get some professional pics done with me and the coupe, but I figured I would break it up into two posts. :-) enjoy.....

Most of them are for my local nissan dealer. They are making a new website for modded cars and also cars that have had their wheels put on by them, and want some pics of my coupe on it so a lot of these are focused on the wheels.













light wasn't too great on this one since the days are getting shorter.

And here are a few that I edited for them to use alone with the raw pics. ignore the corny ada nissan and "shift_something" words, they asked me to put that on.









and this is prolly my fav....prolly of my car in general.

Looks good but why so much rubber? I feel like lower profile would look a lot better. What size tires u running?

You answered it yourself It just looks that good! Meaty tires done right looks great. I sport meaty tires too now.

To OP,

Loving most/all your rear shots. How are those new v12 holding up?

Personally I don't like the look of really low pro tires. Those are 245/40/19. So far they feel great, maybe even less of a rough ride than the stockers. I only have about 100 miles on them so I'll deff. let you know how they wear.

Thanks for the compliments!

I have the same size tires. Just make sure you rotate you tires when your supposed to since the car is lowered. Are you keeping these on for the winter? I take mine off for the winter since my tires are summer racing tires.

245/40/19 are the recommended tires from nissan for these nismo rims.

ya i will deff. rotate them religiously, prolly even everytime I change my oil (3k mi.)

I wanted to switch back and fourth between winter and summer, but I didn't feel like buying another set of TPMS sensors. Also where I live it will only snow like 2-4 diff. times before spring so when it does, I usually drive my dads 4x4 ford excursion because to get to my house you have to drive up an really steep hill.

Heels- I know new tires are sticky for a while, but it sounds like they are kicking up a lot of pebbles, and i get scared it's just scratching my body all up. I haven't found any scratches yet, but it worries me. Do you notice them kicking up rocks now that your tires are worn more?

the tires offset is perfect and goes right to the fender. It looks sick but as you stated can be a pain with kicking up debris on turns. I so far have had only one real dent from on the low driver side panel, near that stupid box patch thing that everyone hates. Ironically that patch is there to prevent denting from debris but it missed

The tires like to kick dirt and sand onto the car so be careful taking turns to hard and rough roads. I did a photshoot on a dirt road a month ago and kicked rocks all over the side of the car when taking turns at high speed. It hasn't really changed as the tires wore, only had them on 2 summers now.
