Discussed the "offroad" tire look here a few months ago. Pulled the trigger on ADV1's with an all terrain tire.

My thanks to the folks at ADV1 for the help and to www.andrewgoodmanstudios.com for the very well done pictures. I'll post a few here for your feedback.

OH SWEET!! Details?? How do they affect the ride?

clktoc63

Thank you, much appreciated!

They are 20x10 ADV6mv2 wheels. We went with 20x10's on all four corners. Given the all terrain tire, I was surprised how little the ride actually changed and it's getting tons of compliments on its tougher look.

Granted I have never tried to push this truck through the corners and never intend to try to find the speed limiter...intentionally.

Can you link me to the tires you got? Will they fit on stock wheels? Also, did it mess with the speedometer's accuracy?

clktoc63

Funny, I started with the same mindset. I wanted to put a more appropriate tire on the G and was going to use the stock wheels. I didn't think I could pull it off the look I wanted with the stock 20x9.5's with stock offsets so I sprung for the ADV1's.

According to my research, the stock tire diameter is 30.9, the Nitto Terra Grappler I put on is a 305/50r20 and measures 32.09, so only about an inch difference. I haven't noticed a difference on the speedo.

I'm guessing that this 305/50r20 would not fit on the stockers without rubbing, but it looks like they may have a 265, 275 and perhaps the 285 that might work. I think the stock tire width is 11.2", so anything at or under that should theoretically fit. I do not know how much wiggle-room there is after 11.2.

Here's the links to the tire as requested: http://www.nittotire.com/tire/terragrappler#size

Cool ! thanks

Looks awesome !!!

Savage! Will you take it off-road?

clktoc63

Thanks all! Contrary to the more aggressive look, I have no plans to go off-roading. She's still being washed and dried meticulously and has the "new car" smell. Off roading it now would bring a tear to my eye.

It could be an eventuality though...

Badass - given the G apparently has such intrusive ESC, do you even feel the handling loss with those all terrain tires? How about road noise increase - I have the same tires on my 1997 LX 450 and they might be quieter than the 22s on my 14 RR?

MPLV

did you consider trying to replace the spare tire cover and spare with a 5th adv.1?


does your adaptive cruise still work correctly?

MPLV

and is there any rubbing

clktoc63

I appreciate the notes...

There is no rubbing with this set-up. It seems ADV1 does a good job with the offsets. They have the secret sauce.

Road noise is surprisingly non-existent. I was shocked how quiet it was and still hardly believe it. The ESC doesn't seem to interfere and I admittedly don't use cruise control, but I would expect that to impact it. I hadn't thought of that.

A fifth wheel/tire on back would look great, that thought never even crossed my mind. I'll have to start saving!

You've GOT to ditch the chrome brush guard, paint it or plasti dip it satin black. It takes away from the badass military futuristic look you've got going on everywhere else on that phenomenal truck!

twist-a-grip

Speaking of ditching the chrome - what was done to this car? Almost looks like black chrome. It's at Prestige Imports in Miami.

I think its just powdercoated gloss black. I was going to do my guard and my spare tire surround but im bored with the rig already

And the laser cruise is the best feature on the entire truck man!

Just pulled a plug and got my self a similar set up, just to be a lil different got the ADV6 mv2 sl . David from Fabspeed is taking care of the order. He said hi...

clktoc63

(Been awhile since I logged in...)

Sounds great, please post some pics of the set-up once you have it. I look forward to checking it out. Are you going with a Nitto Terra Grappler or something else?

Per the other question about the chrome brush guard, I had planned to paint or wrap it, but I went with the exposed hardware on the wheels and although I don't particularly care for chrome it ties in nice with the wheels.

hubert

Got the Nitto Terra Grappler tires also, will post pictures as David promised me a photo shoot at the shop after installing wheels and tires . Got a question, did you do wheel alignment after installing the wheel tire combo on your G?

TXE63

This looks great. How does the rubber handle vs. the stock?

CakeDaddy

The 305-50,20 Nitto Terra Grappler with the 20x10 ADV6mv2 looks great

BenzoBoi

Looks killer!

clktoc63

Thanks again all. I appreciate the comments.

Answering questions, the handling difference is hardly noticeable, but I didn't have much seat time before the switch.

I considering altering the bull bar to black, but I ended up with chrome lug bolts (not by choice, as I wanted black) and purchased plastic covers for them. Ironically, because the wheels have the exposed stainless hardware, the chrome lug bolts actually looked right. Then with the chrome lugs and stainless wheel hardware, the chrome bull bar didn't look too bad and it all seems to fit together.

No spacers were needed, the kind folks at ADV1 had the wheels spec'd perfectly. The big issue for me was the 3 week long search for lug bolts and even then I couldn't find black and had to get the chrome, which just happened to accidentally work out.

Beautiful car. I see you've owned the car for some time now and i wanted to get your opinion on the paint. How are you liking the matte paint? How is the condition after owning it for some time now? I'm pulling the trigger soon on a black G63 but not sure if i wanna do the mango black paint or not. Main reason being i think it'll be a pain to upkeep and another being the resale value. I think selling a matte car will be mina hard
