I got the same car, except opposite, white on wheat. If you go with lipped wheels, go 22s, if full face, 20s. There are some coilover options for this vehicle, but honestly, I don't like the slammed look on these, or any SUVs really. I would only do springs, H&R 1.3" lower.

 

Yeah lowering it is still one of the questionable mods for it. I doubt I would go bigger than 20s though.

 

 

^^^

 

If you go with full face wheels, 20s looks really good I think. They do come stock with 20s if you have sport package, then lowering it 1.3" with H&R would get rid of the wheel gap.

there are some forums, but they aren't that good. infinitiscene is the best but I can't register on there for some reason. It won't let me, but I lurk

 

I'm not you, gtfo Penguin.

Yeah I noticed the forums dedicated to the car are about as active as a nun on spring break. I'm definitely thinking 20s and those Rotiforms I posted are really catching my eye.

 

yea those are definitively nice and you can't go wrong with rotiforms.

 

I though his name was C. Lassy??

 

Go 20's over 19's, you'll be glad you did.

 

Me? Who are you?

That'll most likely be the case.

 

Soooooo I already bought something. Thanks a lot black Friday.

 

What the hell? That tire stretch is full retard. It's like those brahs at the gym who only work upper body.

 

Cool story bro.

 

If you'd like to complain about my CL, please do it in my thread for that car. There's a link to it in the first post. Thanks

 

Look a pikchar!

 

^ that's nice. My car is sitting in 3 feet of snow right now

 

 

 

 

I bought stuff for the car.

 

I like stuff.

 

Wow Tyler-I'm late to the party.....nice pickup!

 

That looks like some pretty awesome stuff.

 

Dookie XXR replicas.

 

Dude, Velox, not XXR.

 

It really is.



Nuff said.

 

Meant to post this a few weeks ago, forgot to. Whoops.

Well back during Thanksgiving, I was perusing Facebook when I noticed Rotiform wheels had posted an image stating they were having a Black Friday sale, and had $500 off select cast wheels, the SNA being one of them. I contacted them, making sure they could redrill the wheels to my bolt pattern, as they only had 5x112 in stock. It would cost me $100, which was $100 cheaper than usual (normally $50/wheel). So I quickly jumped all over it. Took them about a month to get them to me, due to a high volume of orders, but I got them just before Christmas. They are the SNA model, and are 20x9 +35.

Should be getting tires soon, thinking of 265/50/R20, which is actually the OEM recommended size for the OEM 20s. The only thing I am running into is brand. Looking for something with good tread life and not too noisy. Good amounts of grip would be nice, but I don't need anything crazy sticky. Any suggestions?

 

Killer thread, Tyler...sorry I missed it before.

I've had great luck with Kumho/Hancook for easy on the pocket book, decent performance and treadlife.

 

those are really nice wheels man, they are gonna look great on the FX.

it is kind of stupid that Rotiform doesn't offer 5x114.3 as a standard size on most wheels, but you have to pay extra for that.

 

Nice wheels! Can't wait to see them mounted.

I'll second Rockstars suggestion for Kuhmo's. I replaced my Continental DWSs with them on my Mazdaspeed6 and they were far superior in grip and road noise, and less expensive.

 

Cum Hos are great. Had them on my TL until recently and dad has them on his G35.

 

Thanks J. Already picked up some tires. See below.

Thank you sir! I agree. I think it's just what they had in stock at the time. Also got a deal on the redrill so its OK.

Thanks buddy!

You would know all about CumHos.

So I had been looking around at tires and finally decided on Nitto NT 420S. More of a summer tire but since the winter here in TN is really just cold and that's it I'm not really worried about it. Pretty good tread life rating as well as performance and wear. Some people in reviews complained of road noise but to be honest, I've never had issues with tons of road noise. If they do get loud then it just means I need more music. Won't be off work until Saturday afternoon so if they have the tires by then that's when I'll be doing it.

 

I can't wait to see how they look on the car.

 

me too, I wish I wasn't saving $ right now so I can mod my FX

 

I know! I hope the tires get in by Saturday otherwise I'll have to wait until the next Saturday to do it.

I'm trying not to go crazy with it, and I can't imagine many more major mods in the near future. I might do exhaust but that's a long shot, as it runs around $1,000 for a good system.

 

What blows me away with having gotten a 2nd car is how FOS I am. Oh, I'm not doing ANYTHING to this car. Just enjoy it stock...within 2 months I'm getting ideas and looking at pictures and spending more fkn money. G'dammit...

 

Never ending cycle...

We, as enthusiasts, will modify anything we get our hands on. I've learned to embrace it, instead of my wallet

 

I guess you got a point...
it's what we enjoy, right?

BAH

 

You will love the Nittos, I have gone through a few sets of them on my FX and they have been great. Good grip, pretty quiet (until they start to wear) and I got incredible mileage out of them.

I can't wait to see the rims mounted, they look great. For some reason, to me, the FX looks terrible with 22" dished rims and while my stock 20s look pretty perfect, I think an aftermarket like above may need a 21" but can't wait to see them so get on it!

 

Hey Tyler, are you on stock suspension? I was wondering if your car would look like this once they're mounted on the car? I hope so. I think these look nice. Probably on some springs or something...
