Default Stern Tire & Wheel Package

Okay here is the deal I am considering!

I am not into the 19" & 20" wheels wrapped with big wide rubber bands around them like most folks. I like the 18" size for a little more cushion for those unforgiving potholes that can come from nowhere and ruin your day. I had the salesman at Need for Speed quote me the following wheel and tire package.


Need for Speed website:

http://www.need4speedmotors.com


Wheel Description:

Stern ST-2 Touring Sport (Chrome)
18x8.5, +20mm Front
18x9.5, +25mm Back


Tire Type and Size: NT 555 Extreme Performance.
235-40-18
265-35-18


Total includes: taxes, mounting, balance, wheel locks, lugs, insurance, shipping to my door $1,789. The quote is $100 less if I do not want chrome ($1,689). They said for a little more $ I still have room for wider tires; however, I feel this combination will give me the look I want.


I would like to ask you folks which wheel color would you recommend for the "G". I have the brilliant silver like the coupe in the below picture with the 20”. The salesman recommends the chrome for the “G” and Silver or Hyper Black for a 350Z due to the “G” being more of a luxury sport car.

I think chrome would look better on a G for sure, on my 350z I am want something a little more aggressive with a darker color like hyper-black with a deep dish. I like the rims you picked out and they are priced well. Good luck, I want the ADR 19" M-STYLE rims in hyper-black with a polished or chrome lip.

They do not make this wheel in bronze that why there is no choice, however, I hear you may find them on "getto.com"

How much cheaper and what is considered heavy, heavy?

I believe the stock rims are 26lbs at 8" width. Stern is 28.5 at 8.5.

2.5lbs considered heavy, heavy for a wider rim

Ended up getting the tire and wheel package for $1,650. What do you think?


Nice sticky rubber on the rear


3" lip view


245/45 vs 256/35


Removed the TPS's from my OEM wheels, these guys cost $118 each


I was told the TPS will fit the new wheels
