I have 9.5 with 275/30zr20 on all fours with 40 offset on my 08 sport.

Pep Boys?


GL man but I think you are probably hurting the overall performance of your G with wheels that wide....mad camber, weight, etc..

PFizzle after looking at my stance agrees that I could probably get 10.5" up front, with the right offset and pad clearance. I'm sure I can (and will) be able to get at least a 11.5" wide wheel, if not the 12" that I am planning. So, besides Modular Concepts and 360 Carbon, who makes a Carbon Fiber Faced wheel. I want CF face w/ Chrome Lip & Black Inner Barrel 3-Piece wheels. And, they gotta be forged, not cast. This will most likely be my next mod. And, after completed, my Flat Black faced/Polished Lip 20" GT30's will be for sale.

Yeah, I like that middle ground too: not too much stretch, not too fat a tire. 275 or 285 on a 10.5 inch wheel is perfect, IMO.

A new company has approached me about a partial sponsorship. They want a Infiniti (G37) as one of the vehicles to showcase their products. I won't mention the name of the compay, for now. They are 3-Piece forged, have about 4-5 Styles, and various finish options, including Carbon Fiber Faces. I told them that I wouldn't buy another set of wheels unless my current wheels were sold first. I need the money towards a winter vehicle (possibly a 4-Door Jeep Wrangler) down payment. I did tell them that I would let them pick ANY STYLE WHEEL they make, in any finish (that would go w/ my G) and put them on my car at no cost to me. I figure I am very active here and at local events, and could help this company help this company come up, and possibly be the next Vossen, or something, LOL. What do you guys think?

If they're reputable then there's no reason why you shouldn't Jeff
