G37X S Chrome Rims

Hey Fellas,

Looking for some help. Anyone living in the GTA (Toronto, canada) area that can help me identify a good spot for chrome rims w/ rubber for my 2012 G37XS.

(Newbie question) - Would I have to lower the car in order to put on some 19" rims? Or what do you guys think is best suited (18" etc) for a car like mine. I am hearing different options but not sure what is the best in terms of keeping the performance of the car along with adding a nice look.

Thanks

Lmao.. Pretty sure Chinky is clowning over here..

So to answer ur question, no you do not have to lower your car for 19"s. Alot of sedans on here are running the coupe sport 19"s which I think look awesome for a nice clean look. Other than that, I would say the majority of people go with 20" for aftermarket applications. In either case, lowering is not necessary but it will give a much better look to the set up as well as better stance and handling. Swift springs are a good option for the X sedan and people who want a conservative drop.

Btw, I don't think people really do chrome anymore.. But to each their own

When going w/ new wheels just be careful w/ tire sizing w/ your AWD X, the diameter needs to be as close to stock diameter as possible. Within 1% is what you should look for. When you get ready for new wheels and need proper tire sizing just shoot me a PM or post a new thread over here.
