I personally am not a huge fan of stretched tires and plan to run wider when they are due for replacement but as long as you are not running any narrower than a 245 you should have no issues getting them mounted up. The section width is within 1/2 inch of the rid width.

Please, someone tell me if I am wrong in posting this, but if you want Niche wheels, like the Verona or the Milan or others, I usually have them in stock and should be able to get you a good deal on them so let me know when you're ready.

Ok thats good to know. I was always worried about it. I really want to get some quieter tires as well so I wasn't if running them stretched would be a bad thing or not. I didn't to ruin an expensive set haha.

I'll PM you on the wheels. Thanks

Here's a photo of my car with the Milans after installing an Eibach Pro kit this weekend. Looks much better and the stretch doesn't look so out of place now.

Sorry, the car hasn't been washed in over a week but you get the idea.

I'm thinking about it! I just havent been able to find anything yet. A few shops I've called didnt have the size I want in stock. Never heard anything back from Tom either. His looks great though, definitely the main reason I want to get the milans!

I would also like to mention the tires. I went to a shop earlier to see what the price would be just to buy tires from them and have them installed (assuming I provided the wheels). They quoted me $1250 for Pirelli P7's without TPMS sensors! Those same tires in the same size were $880 shipped on tire rack. The problem still is no tire sensors and I still have to pay to get them mounted and balanced.

That's why I would ideally like to buy a package setup online but I haven't had any luck finding that yet. I like tire rack and might just order from them because all in it's definitely cheaper there, but I really would prefer a more aggressive wheel so I don't know. Tire racks wheels are normally pretty safe. But the nice thing with tire rack is that they include the 2 year tire warranty when you buy from them.

If I did 20 x 10s I might have to stretch them too, which the place I went to earlier wouldn't do. I don't know what ill do!!

Front - 245/20/35 offset +35
Rear - 275/20/30 offset +40
Lowered on Tien S.techs

Some cheap a** tires... I got it as a packaged deal for $1200, mounted, balanced, TPMS transferred from OEM wheels. I'm just gon' ride on those tires till they toast then most likely pick up some decent tires.

Wow $1200 in total is an awesome deal!! No problems with the 275's in the rear? If I did the 20 x 10s all the way around I would most likely do 275's if theres no issues

No problem in the rear, has a little poke, I'll get you some pix tomorrow. Not sure about the front, hopefully the other brothers on here can chime in.

I saw on another site that 20 x 10s in a +40mm or higher offset should fit the whole way around, but it is extremely close! If I did it I would most likely do the 20 x 10s, just not sure if I would run 275s or run 245 tires all the way around. Cant wait to see the pictures! :bigthumb:

Haha no worries! I wondered about that too actually. I figured there would be an email notification when you get a pm or something.

so i finally got my wheels mounted. they fit almost perfect. for tires i went with Falken FK453. the rears don't rub when driving on the street .the reason i say almost perfect is because i hit a hard dip on the freeway and i felt a slight rub on the rear. it wasn't too bad tho. don't know if i want to run some camber in the rear or get fenders pulled. its not much. but i don't want the tires to wear uneven and once i pull the fenders i can't pull em back. i want to get some eibach springs so I'm gonna have to do either or maybe even both. but for the most part I'm happy with the results. now i just need to clean up the brakes and get some sport headlights. and darker tint. and exhaust. and the list goes on and on. hahaha. let me know what you guys think

Front
20x9 +35
245/30

Rear
20x10.5 +35
275/30

This might be off topic but I'm curious if you're able to get your cars within alignment specs when running 20x8.5 n 20x10 wheels with 245/35/20 n 285/30/20 tires especially with offsets like +30 front n +38 with 1.6 inch or lower drop without having rubbing problems. Already ordered my coilovers with true coilovers setup in the rear and getting the complete SPC camber kit. Next on my list will be wheels n tires.

Eibach is just the perfect drop for the M!
Does anybody know the width on these wheels?

I'm looking for some winter wheels for my 06 M35X. Everything is stock. For winter, I will go -1 on the size from my factory 18's. I found some 17" wheels from a 2006 Altima. It looks like they will fit from the specs, but I just want to make sure there's not something I'm missing.

Altima wheels are 5x114.3, 17x7.5, +45 offset. I'm planning to put some 225/55-17 snow tires on them.

Thanks!
