Does anyone know the offsets? If it bolts up, The next question is the offset.
Does anyone have pics of a similar offset wheel on a 2IS?

The G35 coupe offsets are more aggressive than the G35 Sedan and all G37s. The G35 Coupe 19s had offsets of +33mm front and +30mm Back. The G37 Coupe 19s are +43mm front and +45mm Back. This information is relatively easy to find at the various Nissan/Infiniti sites, and is also listed in the owners manual. However, it seems very difficult to find on any of the Lexus sites and is not in the owners manual. I have an F, and have not been able to find this information for the stock 19" BBS wheels. Does anyone here know Thanks

hmms if that's the case.. these should fill in well into the 2IS... if i'm not mistaken the stock IS wheels are around those offsets as well..

Hyundai and Pontiac have nice wheels too. So does Buick. Lets slap some Daewoo wheels on the Lexus while we are at it!

Can you confirm if the bolt patterns will match from a Daewoo Leganza to a 2Gen (lol)?

You are indeed a funny guy with your tongue in your check Think some Yugo wheels might fit


Seriously though, the G35 19" wheel is a quality forged wheel made buy Rays. However, I'm not sure the offsets will work on a 2IS. The G37 19" wheel does not have as good a pedigree however, it's just a normal cast 19" OEM wheel.

Hi i'm planning to get the oem G37 rims on my is250. But the only thing that bothers me is inifiniti logo for the center cap. Is there any way I can take that off or replace it with a lexus logo cap?

Thanks.

Why are you "still trying" when it's in the F forum? You can even find it by searching for "wheel offset".

also, to maintain stock rolling diameter, run 225/35-19's up front and 255/35-19's in the rear. this is especially important if you are lowered, as any larger-sized tires will cause rubbing between the tire and the wheelwell liner.
Thanks for posting this info. I was looking for it!!

Does anyone know where I can get the 66.1-60.1 hubcentric rings?

check your local wheel/tire dealer if they carry that specific size of hubcentric rings.

if not, i got them from here: http://www.1010tires.com/hubrings.asp.

use the dropdown box to find 66.06/60.06, but they're the same as 66.1/60.1.

I know I have to keep the rolling diameter as close as possible for the AWD. I'm just gonna do 19X8.5 all around and keep your tire size suggestions handy. Don't want any issues with the AWD but I'd like to have the g37 wheels on my car. Hopefully it will work out. I'd hope they work with our TPMS too?
