Spacers FTW! I've always like the G35 19s, but the offset is terrible. I'd love to see those rims flushed out on an SC.

sorry to go against the grain, but i'm definitely against oem wheels from one brand applied on a different brand.

it just gives an infiniti owner a chance to chuckle at a lexus' expense

Those G35 wheels are made by Ray's Engineering and they are forged. I don't see a problem with shaving off the emblems and putting them on a Lexus. It's not our fault that Lexus makes small ugly wheels.

Do you think the car pictured above is using spacers? It's hard to find pics of these wheels installed on an SC.

The fronts are 19x8 with a 30 offset and the rears are 19x8.5 with a 35 offset. (I think, almost positive)

true, but at the end of the day, they are still infiniti-branded (shaved or not) wheels.

its a different twist on grafting GS lights on a honda. the wheels aren't ridiculous to do like grafting, but the extremity makes my point. gs lights are better then the honda, but it don't mean its ok for it to be there.

there are plenty of people in Japan running GT-R wheels on JZX81/90/100 and I've seen a few with 18" GT-R on an Aristo. Not saying everything JDM is cool and it justifies it but hey, cheap brand named forged wheels, why not? I want it b/c can't afford 19" BBS or other expensive forged wheels.

I still have not put the wheels on yet. I'm not sure what size tires to purchase. I also just got the car back from having a 97 conversion done on the front.

What do you guys think for tires?
