With 8" or 8.5" obviously u have more meat. No stretch tire.

I run 235 35 20 on 9.5. Its stretch and more bumpy compare to run on 8"

So u should ask urself. Look or comfort?

What do you mean? Too stretched? You getting dents?

Default 2010 g37 wheels on 2006 GS300

New member here. Just wanted to see if somebody can help me out with my wheels setup. Purchased some 2010 infiniti g37 sport rims and looking to fit onto my 06 gs300. Here are the wheel specs:

Staggered Setup

Front = 225/50/18
18x7.5 +45 offset

Rear = 255/45/18
18x8.5 +50 offset

Would I run into any problems installing these ? Would I need to use spacer and what size ? Any information will be appreciated. I don't want to sell the rims and tires got it for a good price plus they look sweet. Thanks guys

our offset is between 35-45. Not sure how it would fit. Plus different tire heights? Be careful

and at the same time...

and thank you for the wishes, i know im going to need it lol

I didnt want to run a (extremly) stretched tire, and also dont want too much camber, but that seems inevitable at this point

Will be on air too, so that will help tremendously

I can vouche for your comments, I test fitted them and it needs minimal adjustment..either shave and roll the fenders flat, or add like 1 degree of camber. Im at 3.4 right now and it will clear with another degree of camber. Fronts im either gonna shave the tabs and remount liners, or remove it completely. Funny how most people make it seem like you would need a widebody or something lol

Nice vsxx's! Please post more pictures if you can..

Just heat the plastic and stretch it way from where it rubs. I'm running a 20x10 +15 on the front and mine don't rub. Here's some more pics from nopi a couple of weeks ago.

Felo got them yeezy's on!! Looking good from your last set up bro. I was looking at 20x10 +15-+20 up front as well but people kept saying "no bueno" but thanks for confirming. Looked at 20x9.5 +15 because of that but not no more! What size tires up front? Might run that 20x10 +15 all around since there's no rubbing issue for front.
