Got M45 wheels with spacers but need help

Hey guys, i have done research before i bought the M45 wheels for my 2006 G35 coupe and the conclusion i came to was running 25mm spacers all around.

I installed the m45 wheels with H&R 25mm spacers all around but the front looks like the stick out more then the back its very subtle but it still bothers me. They "look" like the stick out more but the only reason i think that, is because the back fenders are flared out more then the front which makes the front wheels look like they stick out more then the back.

Now my question is would me changing the tires fix this the current tires on the m45 wheels are 245/40/19 on all fours.

I have read that running 245/35/19 up front would make it look better but i am thinking of running 245/40/19 up front and 255/40/19 in the back.

The reason i want to run "40" profile tires is to keep my ride quality.

Any suggestions guys tires wise or should i get 20MM spacers in the front and keep my 25mm spacers in the back?

Sorry for the long *** post.

If I were you I'd run 245 on fronts just keep the current setup if you want to save money but get new spacers. However it's all variable considering what you exactly want. I love m45 on coupes. I know JOKER has it on his coupe and it looks fantastic, I've wanted to go that route for a while as well but I'm content with my current setup as is. Post up pictures when all is said and done.

Id keep the tires as is, unless they are worn.. Spacers would be much cheaper and easier than redoing tires. And +1 post some pics! Ive always wanted M45 19s too.

I just recently changed my set up by I was running the M45 wheels with 245/40/19 tires all around. The only difference is I went with 30mm in the rear.
This is the only pic I have, it kinda gives you the idea. Hope this helps. Good luck on your decision with your set up.

Thanks for the replies everyone. yea the tires are Nankangs brand new came with the rims but they suck ***** they make a lot of noise even compared to the OEM re50's. I may try going with 20MM spacers in the front instead of the 25MM hopefully that helps.

Also i'm thinking of getting 245/45/19 tires in the rear

I read a lot of posts some people say it will look stupid because the sidewall is too tall other are saying its fine, what are your opinions on this?

Good luck and post pics!

Did you by chance buy these in the Chicago area? I saw a set of these for sale on Craigslist a week or so ago. With the exact same tires I believe.

I kept the tires the same all around, 245-40-19 with 25mm spacers in the front, 30mm in the rear. The wheels are pretty flush with the fenders, I would recommend going with the 30mm in the back vs. changing to a wider tire, plus you can do a 4-point rotation as the tires get more wear.

Just my 2 cents, good luck!

agree with Swan. keep the 25mm in front but def put 30 on the rear... make it flush! and good call with the rims. Im looking into buying black 20in msr but if the deal falls through I might go the m45 route. They do look clean

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but i'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on this very rim and tire package, and was curious to the ride quality. Swan, the spacers definitely make the ride look smooth. How's the ride quality?

G35 Coupe with M45 wheels

Here's my G35 with M45 factory rims.
I'm running 245/45/19 rear 225/40/19 front.
Eventually I'm a run spacers to make wheels flush with the car.
So far I recently just got 20% tint on all windows except the windshield. Also Plasti dipped my grill & I got a Euro tag to give it that foreign look & im thinking about doing a total debadge on the trunk.
Tell me what you guys think so far.

I like these M45 wheels, might have to keep an eye out on Craigslist for a set...

DQ, Car looks good! Front grill looks better, but would look better if it was gloss to match the car. The front bumper needs a major re-spray, or a whole lot of rock chip touch ups.
Headlights could use a polish. Well, 06+ stock projectors would be nice, but you can buff that yellow haze out of the headlights pretty easy.
Tint looks good!
I like the G35 de-badge on the trunk, did the same to mine. I think taking the "INFINITI" off but leaving the Mt Fuji would look even better. Going to do that myself, looks much cleaner.
Definitely need to go with some smoke or clear front side marker lights, those ambers are standing out like a sore thumb.
I don't get the euro tag... ???
Wheels look great!
