Thank you very much. Can I just jump in with a wheel and tire question?
So where's the question Joe? Also-What's the interior/exterior color layout on your ride?

I did look at the photos of all the FX,s and would like to know if anyone has mounted 18 to 20 inch rims with snow on the FX50s the dealer dose not have any. He was mistaken on last years rims and they will not fit the 2009. I have check all the tire sales on line and just can't see to nail down a rim with the 50mm offse and clear the large caliper.
Thank you for any help.

hey joe, your other post about the wheel question was in the wrong thread for that so I moved it, but basically, like I said in answer to that other post incase you don't find it is
in general any wheel that will fit a g37s should fit the fx. brake clearance is exactly the same because it's the same brakes, bolt pattern & hub center is exactly the same at 66.1mm & 114.3X5, offset is about the same, wheel centering & suspension clearances all about the same. offset itself doesn't determine brake clearance, wheel design dictates that. offset alone is not the only way to judge wheel fitment, offset directly relates to wheel width too, the factory 21's are at 50mm but there 9" wide, so an 8" or 8.5" may not maintain the exact same offset & still fit... an 8" wide rim with +35mm for example will fit & sit in approx the same position as your 21 right now, just not be as deep because it's not as wide of course...

I can't thank all the responses for my wheel question and also thanks for the welcomming.
Because of the answers that were posted and a few phone calls by me I come up with the appropriate rims.
They are the Sport Edition F10 with the 40 mm offset. When they come in and mounted I will post how the fit and ride are.
Sorry for putting the thread in the wrong place.........new guy on the scene.:k:
