2010 FX35 with powdercoated 1st gen 20" rims

[sobi6111]

Well finally I purchased 1st gen 20" rims. They are powdercoated.

I had to purchase new lug nuts,as 2nd gen lug nugs are too big and you can't put cap cover on.

Guys,I noticed ride is became harder. is it because I have Goodyear 265-50-20 ? Will new tires fix it? Also I noticed that these 20" follow road more,if I let go they will follow unstraight row more. 18" were pretty solid and didn't have to hold steering wheel so much on uneven road than 20". I mean 20" easier to go off the course,than 18".

No shaking or anythin. Tires are balanced So no complain there.

lesser sidewall means a harsh ride. an alignment should take care of the veering problem

That's just how it drives. I noticed it at first too, but you'll get used to it quickly.

Anytime you change all four tires, it's always a good idea to get a 4 wheel alignment done, not just balancing. That explains why the steering wheel is pulling. If you don't do an alignment, the tire's will probably wear unevenly.


And ofcoarse the ride has become harder. Bigger rims means less sidewall (rubber) on the tires. It has nothing to do with the brand or model of tire you have. Since the tire's are low profile, they don't take road impacts like what bigger meaty tires would like when you had the 18" wheels.


I can already see you getting rid of these wheels in a couple of weeks like the intake and fog lights haha =] =]

Those 20's will always be a great wheel design. Good job Infiniti...

hahaha. you right ! I droe whole day,now got used to. No more pulling and etc. All is normal now.

Alignment is fine as well.

Guys they put me 13/16" bolts,so my tire jack wrent is a bit big now :eek.:. What to do? Where to get 13/16" tire wrench in case i need to put spare?

Should I have gone with black rims? Or these "grey" looks great on black?

Looks good. Glad you tried it out and put the 1st gen 20's on your FX. Color is good too. Don't get black. It's nice that any gen wheel looks good on any gen FX.

First gen 20s look great on it. Like the color too.
