Thumbs down Something looks wrong...

So here she is in all her glory with aftermarket wheels. Now from the looks of it, what do you guys think it needs? I keep hearing things about how the wheels look too small for the car, etc... and I have to admit, it looks off.

rubbers 235/35/19

Springs? Wheel spacers? What are your guys's diagnosis? Help a wayward G owner out...

We need to get pictures of front view so we can see how tucked in the wheel is in to see if you need spacers.

Second looks like the the tire is too small for the car from that point of view

At least give us the tire sizes.

Blocking the rims is kinda lame
unless he doesn't want to get flamed for having
some off brand wheels but not everyone is a baller
and I would show off any wheel I have(I have gone from
one end of the spectrum to the other and yeah I been flamed).

You don't want people saying the wheels are HOT and that's
why you blocking them

tire size is too small.
If you go aftermarket

Most run
245/35/19 Front
275/35/19 Rear

Plus a drop and some spacers would help pull it off

Umm... I think you need a little 101 on wheels/tires for the G35c.

Most coupe owners have a wider wheel/tire in the back, with some fairly aggressive offsets.

For example, my Volks are a +28 offset rear (conservative, compared to a lot of guys that run crazy offsets on here), is 10.5 inches wide, with 285 section width of rubber out back.



Whereas the front wheels are +30 offset, 9.5 inches wide, with 255 section width of rubber.

The problem with your TIRES is that they're 235 series front and back. Most RWD sport coupes have a wider tire in the rear, think Vette, Cobra, even the new IS350 sedans have wider tires in the back.

Now, I'm not bashing you, BUT...

to fix your problem, just throw your stock wheels back on. I'm assuming you got your current wheels from a tuner magazine advertisement, or from a shop that is used to throwing ghetto wheels on civics.

If you want to do a proper job with your Infiniti, and I think you do, otherwise you wouldn't have made a post like this. What you should do is spend some time on the forum, look at some people's rides, take notes on wheel sizes, offsets, and tire profiles, and then make your own decision as to what you want.

We're all pretty nice and open here, 'cept for the offset-**** club

same size all the way around?

The OEM 19's are F:225/40 and R:245/40, this makes your tires about .5" short in front and about 1.3" short in back
