What's up VQ family! First off I looked though the forums for an answer to my question but didn't really find anythingI have a 2013 G37 journey sedan not sports, Iam currently dropped on the stock 17s wheels and tax season upon us im looking into some Work wheels in 18 sizing staggered was wondering if 18s are too small for our G sedan?? I see everyone running 19s and 20s what wheel specs can i run to make 18s work I really appreciate the help VQ fam.

 

Here's my 18s, was on 17s like you, then went 20 square, went 20 staggered, now on 18s square. I love my 18s and won't go back to another size. They are lighter & cheaper as are the tires, and a bit taller sidewall helps a bit in ride quality.

I may run staggered tires to get right to the fenders. Currently 18x9.5 +38 running 245/45/18 all around and have room to go out a bit at the fender. When tires are worn out I'll probably run 255/45 or maybe even 265/40 front, 275 or 285/40 rear. If you need help with staggered offsets shoot me a PM.

 

I've been back and forth on 18's vs. 19's for quite some time. Your ride always makes a great argument for 18's. Prefect fit IMO, I'm a big fan of a little extra meat on the tires. Weight reduction and cost saved on tires is just an added bonus.

 

Go with some aggressive 18s.
19s max if you feel you need the bigger look (but it will make your brakes look even smaller).
20s are a poseur move on a sports sedan IMO

 

Yes! I compared tire prices and I was shocked at how much a full set of nitto in 18s costed versus 19s!:0 lol plus the works I've been looking at give me some money left to upgrade my rotors and brake pads any suggestions in that department?

 

MY first wheel choice was 19s but 18s kind of grown on me especially the work 2 pc Kiwamis! Definitely going staggered but how aggressive can i go on our sedan?

 

she's a ebony queen Blnewt😁😆😆🤗😍! Really nice setup man! Staggered definitely! Pm sent.

 

i just got my 19x8's +35, all the way around, Need to get tires, how's those Kumho's blnewt

Need to find a good tires size ,stock height for now i'm thinking 245/40/19? (rims will be on in Summer Spring Only) on Semi ****ty(being fixed) roads.

 

18" and 20" usually have a wider range of tire sizes and even 20" tires are as cheap or cheaper than 19". That said, I'm lowered on 19" during most of the year.

 

They are the Kumho Ecsta Le Sport max performance summers, they have excellent wet & dry grip, especially for the price. I think they have a newer Ecsta that took it's place this year, check tirerack.com for the latest sets.
I think the latest Nitto N555 G2 (be sure it's the G2) gets good reviews for their price point too.

 

Will have to check em out when I got tire shopping thx
