If you need help on sizes check out this thread https://www.myg37.com/forums/wheels-...ize-table.html

I used to run Toyo T1-R's on my M3 and they were great but with a rounded shoulder to fit agressive lowering and wheel offset. Had to trim fenders too but that's another story...

Curious to see how those would look on a G coz those are some aggressive track wheels while the G is more a sluggish cruiser lol

Advans are just okay to me... Personally I wouldn't ride on them. They do look nice though.

If you think they look nice, then why are they just OK? Just curious what the issue is?

They can look nice but that's doesn't mean they are quality wheels. I've personally never owned them, but a friend of mine (big into EVOs) had 2 sets and wasn't happy with any of them. His first set he had problems with the finish... Advan replaced them and then shortly after replacing them he had 2 of them bend on a very small pothole. I was shocked that they bent given the size of the pothole and the low speed he was moving.

That being said... based on others experience, I don't think the quality is up to par for Advans.

Many people love them (even him just like 99% of EVO guys) but now he sports some Volks and has never looked back.

Arrrggggg don't tell me that. I hope the Advan's are a quality wheel because they are near the top of my want list for wheels. I've had Volk LE37t's before and after owning them for 5+ years, 2 sets of tires and countless potholes they still looked brand new!

I guess I got a good set from Advan then. I hit a few potholes in the rain and was pissed that they might have bent. To my surprise, no damage. Then again, I am running 245/40/19 in the front and 275/35/19 in the rear. Got a lot of meat on the tires.

Definitely do more research... This was my friends experience. You'll find others that hate Volk. Different strokes for different folks, ya know.
