wish my sc had 700whp lol gl on the wheel search...

so many options.... I'd personally go with a nice set of RPF-1s and be done with it, super lightweight and can be had for less than $1500 w/tires..

I ran some nitto 275 on the rear and my car hooked great on the TT wheels.

Weldcraft can widen them for you if you wanna run some 305/315 on the rear.

My car dead hooks on 18s depending on your setup and what tires you are running! I am running 18x12 with 315/30/18 Toyo r888.

Omar, you're spot on with that one! And Brandon, I'm agree with you with having a Meaty tire! Remember our conversation about the G35 and TTs. The TTs can be widened as well? And for the member that wanted to see the pics of the widened G35. I'm attempting to add a pic or a link?

G35 rears widened 2 inches for a meatier look. 305/30/19 Thx Earnest C

Mods if I'm not allowed to post this link, I apologize I just wanted to try and help answer some questions about how the wheels look widened.

thx,

steve

Steve, the link is fine!

I wouldn't go 19 though because 19" tires are very expensive.

I love how those G35 19" wheels look, but I just don't want that big of a wheel. Thanks for everyone's thoughts, Supra wheels are going to stay for awhile I suppose.

cheap? try local craigslist or the forums based on the 240, 350, 370, g35, g37, rx7, mustang, acura, platforms. I picked up a set of G35 wheels for $100 but found out later one was shaped like an egg, in which I had to pay $40 to get fixed. I still havent installed them on my car as I am waiting on my hubcentric spacers and I need to strip them down for paint (hammered gunmetal with silver flake). My G36 wheels are the 17" variety (which is what I wanted) with 7.5" fronts and 8" rears. the fronts hold 235's no problme and the rears currently have 255's on them. both appear to be able to handle more width (ie they look hella flush now)
