^ that's actually a nicely done G. It's just the colour that turns people off a bit. If, for example, it where Black, White or silver it would be receiving praises.

 

Just finished up the BBK Akebono conversion today, stuck some Rays G35 wheels on here, sport bumper/lip coming up nextttt! She's getting there

 

Not to be rude Nik, but I'm sure it looks good in the daylight. LOL

 

I know, I know as you can tell we started late hahaha just gimme a second to take some good pics hahaha

 

I just wanted to post a couple pics of my G sitting on Vossen CV5's
20x9's 265/35/20 all around. I know some people will say I need a serious drop ASAP, it's coming...

Luckily, since it's black on black, the wheel gap doesn't stick out as much!

 

What drop are you using?

 

Last post was meant for this ride. What drop is this? Getting rid of my BC's

 

Does the G37X require different size rims than the non-X versions (e.g. offset, tire width, diameter)? Or is it safe to say that a rim choice will or wont work regardless of the AWD?

(this is beyond the fact the X needs to have the same final diameter in the front and back)

Thanks!

 

WOW! Love what you done to this G!

 

Actually since you're AWD you want to keep the circumference of all four (4) wheel/tires the same. The reasoning is you don't want one wheel spinning faster/slower than any other wheel. It could lead to damage of your drivetrain. I use to own an Evo 8 and had one tire blow out and had to replace all four.

 

Yes, I mentioned one would need to keep the diameters (and thus the circumference) the same. My question is whether the awd G's can use the same rim options as the Rwd ones (again, beyond that one stipulation).

 

I don't think it would matter as long as the circumference is the same. And make note that different brand tires, and models within a brand, have different circumferences in the same sizing. IE: a 305/30-19 Toyo R888 is larger than a BFG KDW 305/30-19.

 

More importantly, tire rack's specs pages for most tires shows the revs per mile for each tire size per model. This is what matters most, as differing diameters can produce the same number of revolutions, and vice versa.

 

Wheel color change...New Works on the way going concave for a change...
