Wheels and Tires

Alright, i've decided on the wheels and tires i want, now i just want your guys' opinion. The wheels are Sevas S-55 20x8.5f and 20x10r

The tires are 255/30R20f and 285/25R20r Falken 452.
This is what it looks like on a coupe with a color matched rim, which is something i may do later on.


Tell me what yall think.

i love pilots but my pockets don't. i want 20s b/c i think its accents the car more than 19s. stock Gs come with 19s. oh and yes i plan on lowering the car after i put the wheels on. i need to see how it looks at stock first tho. which springs should i go with to get an inch drop or so?

if coilovers is out of your budget, i would say the 350z S Techs or even Espelir.

just an inch drop with 20's is still jacked up imo.. u will get an inch drop or about with H techs in the front.. but not in the rear. 350z S techs is more..

just get the packaged deal, i dunno if they are available. Most packaged (from site sponsors) come with toyo T1R which is pretty good. i heard the falken are the budget tires so it may trip your VDC in if you corner hard. You will need to drop, there's no need to see anything, bigger rims diameter + smaller profile = approximately the same as stock rim and tire..i think. I dunno what profile usually come with 20's, but 285/25 looks pretty low and you may risk damaging the rims since there's lil rubber between the rim and the road.

Jon, u can't drop 1" with 20's unless you roll the fenders. You remember I had that same problem when u put my wheels on.

and I think it would look sick if you get those wheels color matched.

as for tires, check out Nitto...
