Default Maido GR5's on SC430?

Anyone have a pic of an SC430 on Maido GR5's? I am debating whether to mod or sell my SC and would like to see some pics of one on GR5's. Thanks

I am quite surprised an older member like you doesn't know how to do a search.

Maido GR5 (AKA:Maya GR5)
SSK0771 had them before and trust me.... he posted pics of his ride a lot here on this forum.

Below is just one from his huge collection.

350z/G35 wheels/offsets work well with the SC430. In fact the SC430 is the only Lexus I know of that can accommodate the aggressive offset.

If I walk into the Infiniti dealership and inquire about their G35wheels (I think they're 19's), those will fit proportionally well w/ the SC430?

My friend has a '05 black/black G35 and I asked him about his rims and he said that they were 19's. they were like a mesh spider design. not too shabby.

thanks...teeman3

Yep, I had a spare G35 rim for a little while .Fit fine. I do not recall how flush it was to the fender, but it was a decent fit.

tee, are you talking about the g35 coupe or sedan? if it's the coupe, then yes they have 19s now.

if that's the wheel setup you talking about, just look at g35 coupe with the wheel. how it sit will be very similar to how it sit on the sc430 wrt to the fenders

Actually I am looking at some chrome ones. The fronts are 20x9 +26 w/255/35/20 tires and rears are 20x10.5 w/ 285/30/20 tires. Will these fit ok?

Hey,

Thats my car

As for the offset, most G35C and 350Z use **x9 w/ +26 offset and ??x10.5 w/+29 offset. Any thing more aggressive, you will rub.

I had both 19's and 20's. I would recomend 20's.

(dang, its been a while since I been on the forum)
