Would running a 50 side wall be to much? I don't care as much about the the look, mostly I don't want my ride compromised but I would like a little better handling.The ride being paramount.

There isa tire size calculator in the UCF2X FAQ that will show diameter and associated speedo info for the given choices. Play away:

50 tire wall wouldn't be too much. if you're all for ride comfort, then go for it but 45 is good enough.\

lexus bore is 60.1 , infiniti is 66.1

i got the $10 plastic hubcentric rings off of ebay. they've been working fine so far. had them for 5+ months.

clearance check for you



you should run a 225/45/18 all around if you want the stock feel (g35's run 225/45/18 in the front and 245/45/18 in the rear for stock). i ran a 40 series sidewall because i don't want the fat tire look and 35 series on an 18" just looks too small/thin and i'd be on the floor with those.

Im actually picking up some g35's as well except there 17x7 I have a 93 ls400 and I was wondering if they'd clear the breaks on it?
