Thumbs up 18" rims ---> 19" rims

I currently have a 2006 with 18" oem rims. I was wondering if I was to buy 19" oem rims along with tires, would i have to adjust anything in terms of the shocks or anything else??

Thanks for the help!

No, you don't have to change any suspension settings.

You will be fine, but do check your alignment for good measure.

The FSM has different specs for 17s, 18s, and 19s but no one uses that ****. I mean, engineers, what morons. Useless BS made to fill PDFs...

"Just do it!" You'll like your G35 better with the 19" only draw back w/b the added cost of 19" tires, they're considerably more $$....

Would be good to get an alignment afterwards, but I just slapped on some 20s and the car rides and drives perfectly fine.

You'll be fine, I went from oem 17's to oem 19's and it was a simple task. Just take your old wheels off and put on your 19's. When I got them taken off, I just got wheel balancing for the front 2.
