How could you guys hate on that? It looks mad dope that way! I'd sacrifice all and any performance if it makes the car look that HOT. You guys are all crazy and have no sense of style at all.

Good catch.

There was a thread about this on my350z and I put my two cents in. I got a reply that was somewhat similar to the "joke" I posted.

That G37 shows you how wheels and tires are supposed to fit together. The tire actually makes it to the edge of the wheel, what a thought.

It does look good, but how drivable are cars like these? Those tires are so close to the car body... even with a tight suspension, I see lots of wheel rub in that car's future if you put some mustard into it while driving.

I assume it's just a show car, eh? (where's the maple leaf icon when you need it?!)

So you're saying that site is dangerous to one's blood pressure level?

I guess I best avoid it then.

Driveability shouldn't be an issue if it's set up correctly. The tops of the wheels will actually go inwards on compression. Not sure if the fenders needed to be rolled on this car.
