I put on new wheels primarily for handling performance with a wider wheel. The tires squeeled around sharp bank turns. Now with Vossen 20" CV7s and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, no more squeeling or slipping. I also felt the stock wheels were too small to fill the wheel well.

It's all about stance! OEM wheels generally have weak offsets.

Have you guys ever thought of adding spacers onto to f sport wheels to reduce the offsets?

I used to have h&r hub centric 22mm spacers on my 350z with Ni issue at all.
