I've been looking through the photo posts and haven't seen many AWD sedans with wheels... is that for a reason? Do they have a funky offset that limits the wheel selection to a point where you can't find anything that looks real good?

I'm shopping for a new car and looking at an '05 AWD Sedan

Thanks,Kyle

No, no issues. You need a 40mm offset or more. Its also that most people with an X aren't looking to do any modifications, since a RWD is lighter and faster and availible with a 6 speed. I personally know plenty of people with an X model with 18's and 20's though. no issues.

Thanks man!

Now lets see some pictures!

I'm not looking for a car to race, I have the vette for that, I just want a good daily driver that's good in the snow, so I figured the X would be good for that, but I'd like some nice cruisin' wheels for the summer too, not sure what looks good.

Here you go:

I like them, no rubbing issues, no VDC issues, just have to be careful of potholes...

Can I ask what you did with your factory wheels? I always wondered if the new Infiniti wheels would look good on the old models.

Every picture I have seen of a sedan here was with wheels. I have seen at least one coupe without.

Well the TPMS sensors from the factory tires wouldn't fit in the 20's, the OEM factory TPMS sensors were to tall. So I had to buy another set (could have just left the light on but it bugged me ). So I have 2 sets of tires now; the OEM set and aftermarket set both with TPMS.

Since winters in CO suck and potholes seems to grow overnight during the winter months I take the 20's off during winter and put the OEMs on. Just have to take a quick trip to the dealer to get the sensors reset. It's worked well. I've had the 20's for almost 2 1/2 years now and they still look brand new for the summer shine

I see you have some Toyos. I have them on my other car, how do you like them on the 'G'?

I think spacy9 has a good example. You may find a good set of TSW wheels as well.

I still haven't seen a single X here without wheels.
