They have a great tire life but I wanted something a bit stickier. They do have an excellent tread pattern and good wet handling surprisingly
yea, i've only had them on for about a week, but i can definitely hear they are louder, thats for sure. as of now, they are definitely stickier that the stocks which i like. the tread pattern looks incredible though lol

Old pic, same set up...





Phantom Edition GT30's with Eibach PK drop.
20x9.5 255/35

*planning on going 295/30 or maybe even a 305/25 when new tires are needed.

I have pretty weak offsets.... +35 front / +37 rear

I can probably put 15mm up front and 10mm in the rear spacers to be happier with the look but I'm already rubbing in the back.

Well in the future if you get coilovers and some camber arms I'd said go with;
Front: 5mm spacer and 265
Rear: 295/305


That would look mean!

Do you think I can get away with grinding off the bumper bracket and going with 305/25/20 in the rear with my current drop?

OK I'm not an "expert" and new to the G37. But I'll give my insight/thoughts. 1) I'm not one for cutting/grinding. If I had to I would take it to a body shop. 2) This site if your friend; Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

MYK I am not sure how close you are to the fender, but you can completely cut off the rear bumper bracket and use a pop rivet or some people just use 3M double sided tape to hold it in place. I used a pop rivet to hold the bumper and fender together and it holds tighter than the stock bracket and I could adjust it to how I liked. Fits better now than stock and I have much more clearance. Next time I have the wheels off the car I can take a picture.

BTW a dremel with a metal cutter blade makes quick and easy work of the bumper bracket.
