You have to get less aggressive offset wheels. wide tires + negative camber or thin tires (<275) aren't going to give you enough traction in your case.

haha! my car is running fantastic now! i recently reflash a new tune and my car responses very good. power builds as the rpm rises, very stable idling. my car feels and runs just like stock but alllllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooootttttttttt t more power. i'm very happy about how everything came out so far! no major issues whatsoever and i believe STILLEN has figured out the quirks for the G37 so who ever is planning to order a kit. i'd say go for it especially if you're 6MT.

I'd go for the Nitto NT555R's with a wear rating of 100.

NT555's are drag radials. Not something you want to street on. NT-01 is the proper 100TW tire for "street" use, although you'll heat cycle them out quickly, and they don't come in 19's or 20's.

What size wheels are you running? "real" tires only come generally up to 18's, although there are a few exceptions.


Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11

Those two are your best bet IMO. They also happen to come in a limited selection of 19's.

Course there's always R888 and Pilot Sport CUP if you want to use a r-comp like the NT01...

^ lol... Traction is always going to be an issue when you add power.
