Meet a guy in the shop today selling some wheels and tires 20x8.5 in the front 20x9.5 in the rear I have a 08 g35xs (AWD) would I have any issues in the long run getting these?

20" will look really silly unless you lower the car, because the tire profile will be super narrow. I'm usually not the guy to say stuff like this, but it's true. 19" is about the only size you can pull off without a drop... and even then sometimes.

Plus, I think most AWD owners will advise against a staggered setup. There's some technical reason for it that I don't remember, because I'm RWD and don't care.

Both comments are age-old here on the forum, but what the heck. There it is.

lol i already have swift springs on not worried about that just was the size of the wheels on if there was going to be an issue, but your right the hunt will go on for four nice 20x8.5's then thanks.

there are a lot of people running a staggered setup with AWD. That said, it's certainly easier and cheaper to run a square setup due to the ability to rotate tires.

Also tires for 20"s maybe as cheap or cheaper than the 19". I'm running 19x9 (245/40) and 19x10 (275/35) with the Pilot Super Sports in the summer and it ain't cheap. During the winter I run 18X8 with 225/45 all around.

If you like those particular wheels then go for it. Like rks mentioned, tires for 20s are cheaper, sometimes by a large margin. Just keep your front & rear tires within 3% of each others' diameter and within 3% +/- of the oem tire diameter and you're good to go.

Is mmr a good brand?

I think some MMR wheel designs are great while other not so much. Aesthetics are subjective but MMR is probably an okay/entry wheel. I believe they are cast so they aren't going to be light but I'm not versed on unsprung weight and it's affect on mileage and performance. I have 18" Drag? winter wheels with skinny rubber that weigh more that my 19" forged Volks with fat rubber.


Vossen Wheels seem to be popular here but I think it's more design than weight/performance considerations. MMRs run about $200-$250 wheel while I *think* Vossens are about $300-$500.

Higher end wheels like Advans and Volk/Rays Eng. are popular here as well and have a slightly higher entry point. But most quality wheels aren't going to be cheap.

Is Joe pushing the MMR's...or is it your decision to consider them?
Just funny that he did that to me when I had my FX in for spring install last year!

Not sure why he recommends them all the time...maybe $$$ in his pocket?

Sorry wrong name they are mrr & naw they are trying to push volk racing on me lmao they think I'm rich. But I am thinking about it. I like them but in that note the dealer said the max I can go all around is 20x9 they aren't sure about the 20x10 the shop is saying I can do with no rub. True or false??

You can do 20x10 no problem (depending on offset).
My rears are 20x10 +48. Look in My Garage for info/pics

Edit: sorry, I just noticed that you wrote 'all around' - now I'm not sure.

Just guessing, I would say that 10" would be too wide for the front. Mine are 8.5" wide up front and to make them flush would need about 0.5", so a 9" wide wheel will probably be wide as you want to go in the front. Again, a lot depends on offsets.
