18x9s up front and a 19x10 out back complimented by a nice sport rake...

So yeah I think I'm gonna stick with 18's
Nice.... I think our cars look mean with the 18/19 wide stance....

How are you going to get them to fit? Notching the frame? Spacers? It's a tight fit with 275/50/15's on mine... had to roll the fenders to get those to work...

I'm glad to see you're moving forward with your GN.. You had me worried with all that talk of selling.... Craziness!

i think that looks sick. people think 20's and they automatically think "dub shit" but you have to consider the size of the car it's going on and how it will fill everything out. if you were going 22s or 24s, yeah, i'd say no. but i think that's a good looking aggressive size...and you really dont need to corner, im sure u do more stoplight runs or highway rolls than track days :/

now if this was a civic or vw, yes, 20's are too big.

damn phyber..if you keep coming up with posts like this you may become green...

exactly matt...your car is big...it will swallow 20s and they will look like 18s...

i have a set of 18x9.5 on my bmw..if you want swing by and you can bolt it on...you would have to lower it nearly 4 inches to give it the stance in the first pic..
