The 18" G35 wheels are 18x8 +30 all around. They just have staggered tires on them. Since you have the wheel off, you can look at the inside and it should say.

With the temperatures dropping, it's a good idea to check your tire pressure more often. Hitting a pothole can also cause a bubble on the tire especially if it's an old dry tire.

I'm pretty sure the fronts and rears are different... Anyone else care to chime in about G35 18" wheels?

I wish I could afford new tires...

Guess they are the same size... Sorry about that. I remember reading a thread recently on some guy picking up some g35 wheels and said he had 3 fronts and 1 rear... which wouldn't make sense now since they are all the same size?

the 17" and 19" front and rears are different. .5" wider and +3 offset.

happened to me and when i took my wheel to belle tire to get a tire put on they replaced the valve stem because it was leaking which caused my tire to lose pressure over time and lead to a blow out.

Hmmm, I having to buy the 2nd set of rear tires for my wifes IS 350, the inner tread of the tires (about 1/4 inch) are wore down to the wire inside the tire. I have never seen a tire wear like this before. Has anyone else had this same issue or is it just me?????
