On stock suspension after putting this set on my 97 gives me a 2 finger gap. 225/40 for the front and 245/35 on the rears. Will need a spacer for the rear to make them look more flush. Ride's fine other than occassional rub in the front driver side, which is crucial with the wire harness there, when I'm not careful on the dips. It may be a rub that tells me I need to roll my fenders. Will go with a stiff suspension set up later on. Right now trying to figure out if the Volk Racing flat center caps will fit that center. No local shops here I know of actually have sets in stock to give them a try...

Whew, thank goodness . 245 on the front tires of the G35 wheels are to thick, I believe. With those sizes your tire will bulge out and that can't look good.

Aside from normal tire wear, I have no problems what so ever. No feathering or odd ball wear that I have noticed. Just raised it the way I want to drive and then align.

Hey guys, I just picked up a set of 18 Chromed G35 Wheels, the 7 Spoke ones, The tire doesnt look like they'll clear since I'm gonna lower them later on, so what tire size should I use?
Right now I have 225 45 18 front 245 45 18 rear, rear is worn so need to be replaced
