Do the rims just have some scratches or is there a rim that is bent?

Oh and congrats on the pick up!

Glad you were able to locate a set ... hopefully the repair you speak of is minor.

Congrats
G35 coupe rims do look awesome on our cars, and they weigh 24lb (same as 5th gen 17s)

Well there's a gouge in it about 3inches. I don't know if its holding air because the tire has a hole in it. I'm replacing the 2 tires. Question what should I be running at the back because the tires on it are 225/45/18 and I don't want to rub in the back? Thanks

Most people with G35 coupe rims run 235/40/18 or 245/40/18. You shouldn't have rubbing issues with either.

i'd go with the 235's for now, wider is ok but worse gas mileage

I run on 235/50/17 and there is a very slight drop in mileage but you will notice a much bigger drop with the 245

Btw, what kind of tires you looking to get?

Shippedout · by Shippedout on Sun Mar 29, 2009 8:48 pm

Probablyy going to get a used set for now. So 225/45/18 won't work guys?

Nice bro! I was hoping you would get those

And if your looking for tires, go to standard autowreckers tire and rim shop for a great price on brand new tires. If you only need a couple of tires check out 'Second time around' on kennedy and progress, 225/45/18 is a common size, and they always have great used tires with a good amount of tread depth along with a great price.
There are a couple of these shops, there might actually be one closer to where you live.

Cool Hossmaxima, and thanks again. I seen the bumper he was selling and its in good shape with the home depot lip looks good

225/45/18 will be fine, but will look stretched on a 8" wide rim. 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 is best for you.

Thanks skidz. I'm going to try and find a used set tomorrow if not the guy who sold me the rims has a extra set ill just grab them from him for the meantime

ecrash · by ecrash on Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:35 am

I would go with with 235/40/18

Hossmaxima · by Hossmaxima on Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:59 am

Skidz is right i didn't even think of that, go with the 235/40/18, probably better for that width.

How did you know I might be getting that bumper? Its good to know that it looks good in person, so hard to tell from his pics.
