Thanks everyone for the replies, though I was wanting to hear more about tires instead of rims but hey, it's good to hear about that stuff too.
So which is best, Goodyear Eagles, Bridgestone Potenza's, BF Goodrich G-Force, Perlli's......

--maybe you were just trying to help--in that case I didnt mean to direct what I said in your direction ---but it happens in almost half of the threads i see---
--someone reffering the OP to the search function---or critisizing the thread because it had been covered way back when.
--im just seeing it too often thats all

@1willy1 i understand and agree
i just pointed him in a direction because that thread has TONS of info not just a pic of a wheel on a car..
it has tire sizes/rim width/offsets/how much the car is lowered/camber etc
thought it'd be very informative to look over..thats all![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
hell im rereading that thread right now trying to determine how a 19x8 with either a 37mm or 48mm offset would look(cant find the exact specs on these wheels that are locally for sale) and getting lots of info..

I'm rolling on 245/35/20 Goodyear Eagle. I'm not happy. Tires are loud as ****. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that they're 20s but I've rolled on Bridgestone 20s before and they weren't that loud. I've had Michelin 19s before and also much quieter. Although I am satisfied with how the Eagles perform... they do grip well and wear better than okay.

How about you make the rims thread and I'll make the tires thread. I was more interested in tires but this turned into a rims thread.
Do you have any pics? Id really like to see how that looks.

Yes everyone ussually starts out there criticism of the thread with ---- i dont mean to be this or I dont mean to be that--
--maybe you were just trying to help--in that case I didnt mean to direct what I said in your direction ---but it happens in almost half of the threads i see---
--someone reffering the OP to the search function---or critisizing the thread because it had been covered way back when.

1) implementation of an expanded set of forum rules (click here to review them)
2) better communication of use of the search feature to new joiners in their welcome email
3) nomination new moderators to help monitor the SC forum and help members
4) implementation of the SC FAQ forum to help cut down on the repetitive Q&A
this was in the rules...im assuming you havent read it
back to topic: i'm on g35 wheels for now. my car didnt come with wheels so i grabbed a set since they're decent looking and cheap. they are wrapped with dunlop direzza z1 star specs the best tire for the price IMO. 225/45/17 and 245/40/17. i plan to upgrade to 18x9.5 +12 or +22 in the near future, same tires.

Rules 2 and 4 are the most commonly broken to the point where I don't think its enforced anymore. Every time I go back here, I see 4 thread variations of the same question on the first page
anyway, on topic: tires are sumitomo HTRZ because they're cheap as hell and decent for daily driving. Nitto NT05s on the rears for summer crazyness.
