Default G35 19" wheels

I found some 2006 G35 Coupe wheels for a good price.

Does anyone know If these wheels will fit without modification.
The sizes are:

Front 19x7.5 225/40/19 offset??
Rear 19x8.5 245/40/19 offset 33??

not sure what the offset is on these wheels.

There is a thread in here....somewhere about the G35 wheels on a SC. Someone did it and it was fine.

Check out the search feature, look it up.

Yea someone did it but the offsets weren't as aggressive as some people would have wanted (if i can remember correctly). They look good though. If you don't mind me asking what price did you find some for?





For reference on an SC.

I dont think that is correct. I believe the Front set are 19x8 and rear 19x8.5

I saw that thread, but I need to know if I can just bolt them on or if I need to take them somewhere to have the fenders rolled?

Not sure man...check the wheel fit/tire sticky at the top of the SC forum.
I'm sure there is something on it.

As far as an easy answer....I have none.

They will bolt on. I have them on my SC and they fit just fine. I'm not riding on factory spec tires though. 245/30/19 in the front and 245/35/19 in the rear. I have BARELY 1 finger gap in the rear on STOCK suspension. I paid $630 for mine with basically new tires BTW.

I will buy yours for $631... they look good. So suspension it looks good in the back but what about in the front? And are you running a thicker tire? i don't really know the difference in tire specs ( haven't really paid much attention to them). Also post up some pics of your ride for another reference

Yes I'm running a wider tire in the front. The stock fronts are 225/40/19 (IIRC) but I'm running 245/30/19. I have a 2 finger gap in the front. It doesn't really look that retarded to be honest but I'm waiting for my coilovers. I'm actually kind of that my car is this low. I've rubbed while driving and I wasn't even pushing it too hard.

So if I go with the stock tire size they should fit with no mods. Do you have any pics?? I'm gonna try and get the wheels and mount them this weekend.

This is the wheels by the way:

This is my rear with 245/35/19 Potenzas. If you're running stock, your sidewall will be slightly bigger. I think it'll be 1/2 of an inch bigger but you shouldn't have any problems. Be sure to get wheel locks and take off those Infiniti wheel caps.

They'll fit fine with the Potenzas that come on the G35, but if you lower lots you'll have rubbing issues. On the rear, my fender lip shaved off the letters on the outside of the rear tires, and on the front I rub pretty bad whenever I'm turning and hit a bump. To fix the rear I went with a 235/35/19 tires, hasn't rubbed since and puts the speedo back to what it should be for it's closer to the stock diamater unlike the 245/40 that comes with the wheels. I've just been living with the rubbing up front for the past year, but next spring I'm going to go with a skinnier and shorter tire. Oh btw I'm lowered on Espelir ASD springs with tems struts.

People often tell me the wheels look way better on my car than they do on the G35!

Yeah $630 is an unbelievable deal. I'll try to talk this guy down to $700 but I thought $800 was a steal. I can't wait to get them this weekend.

Does anyone know how far off my speedo will be with these?
