Default I Decided To Be A Trader

Okay so today i got bored and my friend and i decided to trade rims for a couple of weeks lol.

But the funny thing is that his rims are also burrow from his friend lol but he didn't care so we switched his g35 rims for my g spyder rims.

He was kinda glad he did because he was rubbing hardcore on stock springs lol.

Well here they are enjoy







P.S. i know the rear is really high. I didn't know i had to roll my fender for these plus the rear tires are kind of beefy too. Feel very different from SLAM to barely a finger gap!!

they don't come in 18's. infiniti only offered them as 19's.

specs are as follows:

front: 19x8 +30, 19 lbs.
rear: 19x8.5 +33, 21 lbs.

unless your friend - and now you - are not running the right-sized tires (to maintain oem rolling diameter), you should not be rubbing and thus should not have to roll his/your fenders to run these, even if these are oem wheels off the G35.

the proper tire size with these wheels are 225/35-19 (or 235/35-19) and 255/35-19 for front and rear respectively. any other size, and you'll not only throw off the odometer/speedometer but also have fender lining clearance issues.

btw, if you plan to run these long-term, i highly recommend 66.1-60.1 hubcentric rings.

this is why i know all of ^:

The G wheels don't look bad at all though!
