Yes, sir. You need at least 18" wheels and 3mm clearance with the wheel spokes.

Thank You Sir! At least I have a little time to search for wheels..

Cool, that's about a 1.5 hr drive from me...

i think 18 is minimum for a 4 or 6 pot.
i think. lol dont all 500/550s and 55/63s come in 18 so they clear the brake set up.

darius, it would be too much of a hassle to bother with a brake upgrade now, unless you sell your tires and use that to get new rims hahaha. and the rotors i will be using, i believe is a 345mm.

c43amg, how much did powdercoating cost you? the turnout looks great.

clearance also depends on the offset. but usually a 3mm and a +35 offset will get it done.

I will be selling my 17's soon to purchase some 18's for the winter.

bheng

gl selling your 17s. i think reps would be a good winter wheel .
how do the 19s feel? better yet, how much the tires cost you!
haha. i was initially in the market for 20s cuz a buddy of mine had a set that he was going to give me for cheap. then i saw the price for tires. lol had to turn him down.

dynomite05

Yea, thats what I will do, get some good reps for the winter. I love how these 19's feel, the tires are awesome! Picked up some Hankook EVO V12's for around $800...

bheng

oh btw. and darius. tirerack doesnt have our model for koni shocks. and they have to special order them. they have to check with koni directly, blah blah blah, more mumbo jumbo. and finally i get a call saying that koni is closed for the week...for inventory bs.

lol so i will get another call on monday. =(

Here is a few colors I have been contemplating over...I really like the Lambo Orange,Brembo Gold, and the Candy Apple Blue..

bheng

you kno... i really like the cacndy apple blue or gold. but i dont think they have them at g2.

i saw someone had a navy blue as well. it looked pretty good in motion.

do you happen to know if the brembo blue is similar to the g2?

lol so you pick a color your gonna stick with dyno? =p

M-bENZ

RED,

not mine car...its belong to one of our members here.

dynomite05

Don't know about the G2, I think I might be leaning towards the Brembo Bronze like the ones on the G35's. Not 100% yet

I love the way it looks but everybody has done red already

M-bENZ

doesnt mean that you cant do it again...am i right ?

Andy

bheng

lol tru. but if you say that, all these colors have been done before. rofl.

M-bENZ

I realized that sir.

correct 18s would have to be minimum but that would also mean lower profile tires so not sure if I could find any winter tires that would fit that and low profile is not that great in winter snow. I think I will just paint the OEM ones I have now....

dariusf

sucks, so I take no tirerack discount then as it would have to be special order I have the part number, was going to call them today but too much work to get done after 3 day weekend.

bheng

yeah so no deal from tirerack. i'll be calling a couple of places when im free throughout the week. please PM me best price you can find. and i'll do the same.

dariusf

Unfortunately no, I should have some time today at work to make some calls between the meetings etc. Will definitely like to share the findings. I'm picking up my car today after the AMG bumper transplant and would love to get the drop ASAP. I have the Eibach springs sitting in my garage.

dynomite05

Post up some pics....Did you do the side skirts also or just the bumpers?

bheng

unfortunately, i got a call from tirerack saying that it is not only special order, but back order. and the earliest they can get it to me by was in july. haha so you might have to wait on that drop for a month or so. i'll keep looking for some places and get price quotes.

dariusf

sucks, sending you IM
