Post Wheels help

My G is 2003 4dr RWD with 5 spoke 17" wheels.i just bought a G35 coupe wheels 18x8 7spoke +30 offset ( ET) all around with tire 225/45 Front n 245/45 rear. N the coupe wheels doesnt come with lug nuts.
My questions are :
1. Does my oem lug nuts fit for couple wheels or i have to buy for the coupe wheel ?
2. Do i need a spacer to put the coupe wheels in my G ?
3. How many MM if i have to use the wheels spacer n what kind brand for spacer ?

Thank you.

1. Re-use yours
2. No, they'll fit fine
3. See #2
4. When your front tires wear out replace them with 245/45 like the rears.



You're welcome.

why do you recommend putting 245 in front.
is it because with 245 in front, we can rotate the wheels?
will he need his fender rolled?
will 245 in front affect his steering?

Hey guys i found a lil wierd thing on my 2003 G35 4dr . I dont find any TPMS in my oem wheels ? When thy change my old rims with coupe rims thy dont find any TPMS at all ?
Is the 2003 G35 has TPMS in it or no ? But in my dashboard or instrumental panel i dont see any warning light or anything for the TPMS !!

Not all vehciles came with TPMS... i beleive in 2003, it was an option at an additiaonal cost. My 2003 coupe never came with TPMS either. The lights in the car will not go off since your vehicle has never been matched with TPMS.

245's in the front will make your G look a little more aggressive and will allow you to rotate the wheels. No you do not need to roll fenders if you are on OEM suspension. Im currently on 18s dropped on h-techs and still have an inch or two before needing to roll the fenders.

I believe 245s all around will increase handling since it is a bigger tire.
