What? Either you have the RWD Sport Package, or you have the AWD Sport appearance package. From the looks of your brakes, you have the former.

 

It seems like RWD Sport Package, since it isn't awd x, but that's how it was presented when I got this car from the dealership.
I even don't know my own G.

 

Well then, this little revelation should be a welcome one.

The Sport Package on either AWD or RWD platform gives you nice sport seating, sport headlights, sport side-sills, and 18" wheels. And the automatic version of both get flappy paddles.

However, if you have the RWD car (or the 6MT model) you also get:

• Staggered 18" wheels
• Summer-only high perf tires (which I'm sure are long gone)
• Close ratio steering
• Sport-tuned shocks
• Limited Slip differential
• Big-brakes with 4-piston front calipers

Welcome to the forum. Nice find.

 

Thanks! Much appreciated, iCrap!


Congrats on the new ride!


Beautiful G you've got there, Mr. Nurner! Loving the entire look from the blacked out roof and mirrors to the window visors and wheel/tire set-up. Everything just seems to work perfectly. Great job!


Although I'm usually a fan of a bronze on white set-up... this one just doesn't seem to work on your car, Tony. Think maybe it's your yellow calipers clashing with the bronze wheels. Either way, I definitely prefer your old set-up to this one... but that's just my opinion and I say go for it if YOU like them!

 

I wouldn't change a thing! Perfect!

 

OEM is BEAUTIFUL! So, no problem running a 10.5" rear wheel in on a sedan Sport? I wish I could get away with this wheel on a G37AWD, I'd purchase a pair...I really like their look.

 

He said they are all front wheels

 

There is someone running a staggered set on RWD sedan. He says he's not running more than -2.0 camber but I don't see how.

 

There is someone in my area with a staggered set on his sedan, I believe it's also AWD. Doesn't look like a lot of camber either but he's running a 245 on that rear wheel. I have a picture of it but can't find it at the moment.

 

Yeah I agree, in my head it was a great idea but the execution doesn't seem to flow well. Changing the calipers would definitely help, but I'm just not inclined to spend money doing something that really isn't needed. Especially when I should be fixing my head bolt issue.

I'm probably not going to keep the wheels but the easiest way to see how the car would look with different colored calipers would be to use good ol' photoshop!





P.S. They may be seen in the classifieds pretty soon.

 

I think the wheels will work with Black Calipers since you have so many black accents and now the wheels give the pop of color. IMO any other color Caliper is going to clash somewhat. I like the wheel choice and color. Maybe we need to see a pic outside in sunlight too

 

That actually was going to my last deciding point - I plan on going eventually out and shooting proper pictures to see if my feelings would change for them, but that would mean I would have to stop being lazy and wash the car too!

 

Honestly I think the red works. Black would work too but wouldn't really showcase themselves. Maybe black with bronze lettering and maybe a gold pearl or flake in there.

 

I agree, the red brakes look pretty good. Also matches with your red tailights in the back

 

Given those three choices on that car with those wheels in those pictures, count me in on the Red Caliper bandwagon.
