18's or 19's

2009 G37x sedan with the stock 17's still on it. Great looking wheels but want to upgrade to at least 18's. Would like 19's but I think the car would need a drop if I go with that large of wheel. Dropping the car here in the Midwest with all of our snow is not ideal, plus my driveway is steep. Have put Tanabe axle back mufflers on the car but not gone mod crazy. If I go with 18's I will put on 245/45/18 tires. A little wider than the stock sedan sport comes with. Thoughts??????

That's a good plan, you should also take a look at this thread to see several stock sedans w/ the 19" coupe wheels, not a bad look.

I ran the G35 sport sedan wheels for awhile, liked the look and the stance a lot. I'm on 19s now but wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Almost went with them as winter wheels this year.

My G is black but these look good on this silver one. Not sure if it has a drop though.

If this silver G is not dropped I could go with these m45 rims. But I know I'm safe with 18's. Looking at these Enkei Gp5s in 18"

I'd go with 19's. They look great even when not dropped. That silver G w/ m45 wheels looks bomb.

Here's a reply in an "M45 wheel on a sedan" thread, and a before & after shot w/ an Eibach drop, and the sedan is black too
Looks pretty good at stock height IMO.

And dropped on Eibachs

When did you get 19s?

Those M45 wheels look good. I like the spilt spoke design. Imo with our Gs the spilt spoke design like the M45 wheels look better than the thick spoke wheels. If you can't find a set of coupe 19s them I'd either go with the M45s or the convertible anniversary wheels (I think the verts come with the 19 anniversarys). Very attractive.

He said two wheels are perfect and two have some slight curb rash. He's sending pics tomorrow. They also come with the sensors for $600.
