Rim selections

what kind of rims should i get for my 06 coupe? 18" or 19" and what offsets?

[infinitgkid]

I, personally, would go with 19's but 18's are ok too...

as for offsets... for the G35, you offsets should be anywhere between the high teens and low twenties...

If you have balls and want to go for a lower offset to achieve a more aggressive fitment then I think +12 is where you want to go (not sure, do the research).

But to get a clean, moderately aggressive fitment go with an offset between high teens and low 20's...

are you going to do a tire stretch?

or have I gone too far in depth?

I think if the rims stick out past the fenders you look like a ricer.

Flush is good, but nothing more

Any quality wheels should do, SSR, CCW, Fikse, Work, etc.

Depending on what kind of fitment, sizes vary. Definitely 18s if you want to go lower.

I think you need 19's. 18's almost look too small with how big these fenders are. And you will have to lower at least an inch IMO.

Thank you guys for the advices danm >_< shoulda taking autoshop in high school was kinda hoping for a simple answer but guess i need to learn more about cars i think im gonna go with 19's, as for offsets is there a general number everyone use???? Any brand recommendations? my friend recommended me the Stern ST-5 they look ba but are they the right kind of rims for me (weight)???? Thanks again

Look at the rims installed post in this section. Those are Stern ST-5's. All the info is also in the post. There is also a section on all rim fittment, just use the search button.

They look real nice, they aren't very heavy are they?

front.....Stern ST-5......18x8.5 w/2" lip......32mm offset.....225/45-18 tiresrear.....Stern ST-5.......18x9.5 w/3"lip......35mm offset.....245/45-18 tires

dont know what it means 225/45-18 tires, 245/45-18 tires

[cheapazz]

Those are the tire sizes....they are located on the sidewall of the tires. The numbers meanings are as follows: 245 = 245 mm's across, basically the width of the tread from shoulder to shoulder. 45 = the heigth of the sidewall which is actually the percentage of the width (very confusing but basically a tire with a 245/45-18 is saying that the sidewall heigth is 45% of the width - which is 245mm's across) and the obvious is the 18 = the rim diameter. Every tire is designed to work within a certain range of rim width. The tires on the front of my car are within the specs of fittment for that tire but the rears are only "designed" for a max width of 9 inches, thus the slight bulging where the bead meets the rim. Some like the look and some don't. As far as performance goes.....I think it's all up to what you expect to get from the tires. Hope any of this helped.
