Well I went and ordered new wheels for my FX from elementwheels.com. :Front: 20x8.5 Vertini Fashion Black Machined Face-265.50.20 Falken Ziex STZ04 Tires :Rear: 20X10 Vertini Fashion Black Machined Face-295.45.20 Falken Ziex STZ04 Tires :laugh::laugh: Looking forward to it. All I have now is the stock 18".:frown: I'll post some pictures when I get them on. Yes, I heard some bad and good things about the tires but it was a package deal.:wub: Ill be switching out some time to Yokohama specs. some time in the future. One step at a time. Was going to 22" but the roads here in El Paso SUCK SO BAD!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad: so I'm going 20" staggered.:wink:


YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!

those are pretty sweet. as far as the tires, i have those on my winter rims and they're perfectly fine. no worries at all.
 
Do you not need to keep the tires the same size all around with AWD on the FX? It's important on the G35Z to have the same size all around. Or do the 265/50/20 fronts match the diameter of the 295/45/20 rears in this case?
 
Well I'm glad someone found what they are called. In the wheels gallery it just said something about them being on a Russian FX. :laugh:

your right, thought the same when I asked about the awd/rwd, but then looked the tire up he's using & there a perfect match front-rear as far as diameter so fine for staggered awd...
 
Well had the wheels for about a week now. Took a long drive from El Paso to Parker AZ. Thats on the Cal-Az border. No issues with the tires and wheels. No vibration or road noise. There is a Hum/ Whine when I'm in the far L lane and can her the wheels against the barrier but I kind of like it like that sounds like a little turbine:wub:. No change to GPM as far as I can tell. Lots of complements from people at rest stops. I also got that Hood Deflector. That thing is great!!! Very few bugs get through now. :laugh:

I figured the tires were probably the same height. Thanks for doing the work to look it up. :.smile:
