Wondering if I can get a little insight or help from the club here.

I got into a little accident returning from dinner the other night and banged up the rear suspension of my 04 G35 6MT. No body damage to speak of but the rear wheels/suspension look like a bow legged cowboy now, (Texas reference).

The car is now at the Grubbs body shop waiting to be returned to like new condition.

Here is the disclaimer to minimize the BendzWheel = IDIOT that I deserve. While I can make lots of excuses on why the damage happened, (just flew back from Chile 10 hrs. and then put in a 8 hr day), but the bottom line is I screwed up.

Here is what I wanted to ask the club;
1. Should I forego the stock 18"s since I am sure to have to replace one wheel?
2. Do M45 19" fit on a 2004 sport coupe?
3. Is there anyone wanting to sell some OEM 18" or 19" wheels in the area?
3. Should I change my community name now that it is so obvious that I am a regular abuser of anything wheel like?

Thanks in advance for your comments, your an idiot flames, and assistance.

 

M45 Sport wheels fit the coupe with a spacer I believe. Or that's what I came up with on the forums. I have a set comming in and i'll try to find out more info.

 

they are just heavy...

 

Don't worry, JD is the resident curb rash expert.

It's really up to you depending on your budget and what you're willing to spend.

 

1. Should I forego the stock 18"s since I am sure to have to replace one wheel?
I like the stock 18's, tires will definitely be cheaper than 19" tires.

2. Do M45 19" fit on a 2004 sport coupe?
Yes they do. I'm assuming you mean the M45 sport wheels. They will fit but it's recommended to get 25mm spacers so the offset looks right when the wheels are mounted.

3. Is there anyone wanting to sell some OEM 18" or 19" wheels in the area?
None that I know of. Ebay has tons of those wheels on there, give that a try.

Maybe?

 

You need a spacer for the M45s, I think anything from 15-20mm will work fine. I would personally go with 25mm-30mm

I have a set of M45s comming in that i may consider selling. I got other things that are comming up.

 

i've got five Enkei RPO3's ill sell ya, fifth one can be for a spare after you rash one ;-). They are the 19' and the sbc coated ones. kinda look like black chrome, pm me if you might be interested in something like that, thanks

 

Cough..Cough...Ex Resident Curb Rash Expert thank you very much....yeah, I miss not caring what happened to them...now I'm lookin to avoid every little freakin pothole I can find...ha.ha...

 

i've got some stock 18's that i've been trying to get rid of. good condition. i have some tires too but they are currently on another set of wheels, so if you want those all we gotta do is get them switched.

lemme know

 

How quickly do you need wheels? I am thinking of getting some aftermarket wheels, and if I did I would consider selling the stock 19's.

I am pretty sure it would take atleast 30 days depending on if the wheels I get are in stock or not.
