18" Infiniti M35x wheels on my 2007 IS250
So I had 17" OEM rims, three with flaking paint and one slightly bent. All four tires badly worn, with one having two sidewall bubbles. A sorry state of affairs.
So I stumbled on these wheels from an M35x, $300. Clearance is tight, in fact in front the fenderwell liner rubs in one spot when turning ever-so-slightly. A heat gun and some pressure should take care of that.
Anyway, in case you're curious, this is what 18x8, 45 offset, 245/45-18 wheels look like on an IS. Had to buy tuner lugnuts. I need center caps. When I get new tires they'll be a 245/40 or 255/40 because these wheels are tall (OD increased by 1.7").
I need Eibachs (or equivalent).
