I have Toyo Proxes T1-R stacked up in the garage.
The sizes are 245/35/20 (f) & 275/30/20 (r).
I might exchange the rears for 285/30/20's.
Man, I can't wait for the front wheels to show.

Your call looks killer!

35 is the "legal limit" here in Maryland, so thats as dark as I went when I had mine done

My former ride, a GTV6 Tiburon was given to my son with 20 but he got tickected and I had to roll his back too

My G37 is black / black and would look great as dark as yours

Looking forward to seeing your rims as well

Are you going to do your headlights?

Yes, and the grille too. Arc Reactor or Iron Man w/ Amber LED side marker strip. Either Flat Black, Black Chrome or Carbon Fiber finish.

Nice

I have "Bats" on mine and like the look and think it will definitely take your appearance up a notch

I haven't done the grill - I really should

Done any audio mods?

I added a JL Audio 500 x 1 and a 12" sub wedge

So how do you get the year old baked on tape off of the tint when it's time to change them each year?

BB, I have seen this done before. The tint is cut around the sticker placement so its possible to remove the sticker with a razor blade and clean up the area carefully with goo-gone. Use a Q-Tip as to not disturb the tint. When removing the sticker, Cut an X in it and work your way from the middle outward using only the corner of the blade.

Thanks. That explanation makes a lot of sense. Putting it behind tint around here would be just asking to get a ticket IMO. Police look at them when they meet you in oncoming traffic, especially when stopped at a light or sign and if your stickers were obstructed by tint, it would just be asking to get pulled over. Thanks for the explanation. Now I'm considering maybe a 50% windshield with a quality heat reflective tint. Not very attention getting at all by SL1CKZ's photos and would keep the car much cooler.
