^^ Can't wait to put it on.......now I have trouble with trie option,
The wheel is 19x8.5 F & 19x10 R, recommended tire are 245/35/19 F & 285/30/19 R, with this option the over all high is same as stock. I notice that the stock tire/wheel small on the SC430 with big gap from the fender. I'm thinking of putting 235/40/19 in F and 265/35/19 in the rear. With this size, it will create a minor stretch look on them depend on tire option. I leaning toward the Hancook Ventus evo 12 Max performance summer due to the review and rating

I'm running a 245 40 19 front and 275 35 19 rear.. The tires have a pretty thick side wall.. I think i mentioned that to you in a PM about the fat -tire set up.. Are you sure you want the 40/35 series tires?
the pic u sent me of the white M45 with the forgestars probably had the thicker tires..

After I research on the tire size, I found out that the wheel look fat when it have a big gap between fender and tire,
The infiniti G37 was factory equip with 225/45 19x8.5 F & 245/40 19x9.....this is factory setup with very little gap. It look great. sidewall looks thinner with little stretch

Just an FYI, there's a sicky for tire/wheel fitment. Just click the link in the 1st post for the charts. I used the most aggressive fit that didn't require modifications and it came out really flush.
...............time goes so slow after i place my order........

Shipment is still pending......anyone here order from Howey industries before??
I contact them and they states it should be ship out next week (no guarantee tho). I understand its a busy season that it take extra time to build, but from 2~3week to 6 weeks is somewhat disappointing.
Moreover, I receive a reminder email from PayPal today that my payment protection is up to 45 days, which is this Saturday 7/16/11. Since the wheel has not ship, I'll be screwed if there's issue with the wheel since PayPal would not back me up after 45 days. PayPal advise me to open a dispute and wait for the shipment to arrive and resolve the dispute once I receive the wheel. The dispute is more like a extended protection for me if anything happen. I really want those wheel asap!!!
