New Wheels For The 90Q

[goody90q45]

I've been looking for new wheels/tires for the Q for about a year now and my patience finally paid off. I picked up a nice set from one of our fine security officers at work for $275.

Not the greatest picture but it's all I've got today. These are from a 2003 G35 coupe. Rears are Goodyear Eagle 245-45-ZR17, wheels are 8' x 33mm offset, with about 25% tread left. Fronts are Goodyear 225-50-17R, wheels are 7.5" x 30mm offset, with about 90% tread. I'll be needing new rears by the end of summer and the 50's seem to fill the wheel well better than the 45's so that's probably what I'll be getting.

So far no rubbing but I haven't had a carload of people in her either. I like the look.

Very Nice Mike.OH. Thanks 4 the Radiator.

Very nice wheels, I like the subtle style that compliments the car. What a deal!

When I bought my 94' it came with 17x8 BBS wheels with 255-45-ZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1 tires, the same that come on the corvettes. The inner wall of the tire got worn out because the tire was too wide.

Looking good bro. No more pie pans.

Very nice. They suit the car well.

I love it, its not shiny Chrome which I really hate, its a nice clean modern wheel. I think these types get overlooked often by many people these days a bit too much.

is the paint faded on the hood, or is it just dew?

[goody90q45]

Peeling clearcoat on the hood, roof and trunk. That's why I call her the beast- She's ugly.
