i'm w/ Tevi...just make sure you take your time Janik and not jump the gun. Get the Carfax on it...it has aftermarket wheels, make sure where its been, check the brakes as well if there are ANY other mods to it. Also make sure the tranny is strong...from there, you know exactly what you're looking at, and I'm sure you're pa will help. GL bro...I wish you the best of luck w/ the upgrade~


As for MIKE and TAYLOR...LOVE how you guys had an entire conversation about me on here?? LOL, ...my phone actually died about 2 hours ago. After drinking since 10am this morning, i think i'm about done for the night. I know tomorrow for the super bowl might be another long day. T-hayes..might be seeing you tomororw? Just give me a call in the morning with details. Have fun 2night guys!

The aftermarket wheels and tires are its winter set with brand new blizzaks lol Clean carfax, one owner. Also comes with the OEM 18s (look mint) and brand new General Exclaim tires. Certified Infiniti car, and all the maintenance is up to date. Car is VERY clean with only one imperfection that I could find.

We will see how it goes haha

Lance, I got me some goodies off of Janik's car so hopefully in a few weeks we can do some wrenching in your garage. I'm gonna probably take my rear off too so we can patch that fiberglass.

Advice please - upgrading tires for stocks 18's. Lookng at 245-45-18 front and 255-45x18 rear DWS's. I understand that I will be giving up the ability to rotate with the wider rears but I thought it might be kind of a poor mans spacer. Retiring next week - hooray!!

good setup! Also, staggered wheels are VERY common for our cars, so don't hesitate for a second! You can still rotate, but obviously not from the front to the rear of the car. You just have to take the actual tire off the rim and rotate it from the right side to the left IF you have uneven tirewear, which with the camber/alignment/toe settings you should be just fine, especially if you're not going to do anything w/ the suspension at all.

you're going to want to find out how close that guy is to rubbing w/ his 285's, and if he does AT ALL. Especially since he's running Falkens. I read A LOT about tires and almost got hankooks but after finding out that there had been guys that went from Falkens to Hankooks with the EXACT same sizes and had rubbing issues, I stuck w/ Toyos being they have a smaller sidewall similar to the Falkens.

IF he had no issues what so ever with rubbing, I definitely vote for Hankooks. A great tire for the price...would have gone w/ them hands down if I wasn't running so low...
