really? wow.

 

The rims are nice on your ride but not my style.

 

8.5 w/34mm are flush with the outside of the front fenderwell. 9.5 w/40mm in the rear sticks out about 1/4 inch. I've got 48mm rears on order. These will be approx. 2mm inside the rear fenderwell which should be perfect.

Front tires: 245/40/19 (26.72 dia.) & Rear tires: 275/35/19 (26.58 dia.) seem
to be good for 19" rims.

For comparison, The OEM 18"s are F: 225-50-18 = 26.86" and R: 245-45-18 = 26.68" and the OEM 17"s are 26.74" all the way around.

 

Rims look decent, but boy do they make those calipers look tiny.

 

Wow I thought that was a G35X until I saw the S badge. I just don't understand why Infiniti/Nissan keeps putting these huge gaps on their cars when all the other sport sedans are running a much more conservative gap ala BMW 3 Series and even Mercedes C230k has a small gap.

 

Thanks for the informative reply railgunner.

I just want to be sure I've read this right, anyone feel free to correct me if I have dyslexia and am reading it wrong.

If I were to have 8.5 wide rims at all corners (I have an X coming at the end of this month) a 34mm offset would have the wheels flush with the outside fender?. Common wheel offsets I've seen are 35mm and 45mm, would these work on a 18" or 19" wheel 8.5" wide?.

You said a 9.5" wide with 48mm offset would be 2mm inside the fender, but would that rub the suspension components?.

I am sort of leaning towards these rim selections:

Either wheel has no offset that is exact, but close... Hm, more thinking needed?

 

Those gold brake discs are the BLING BLING !

i just noticed that those 2 cars are not SPORT this is why i think that the calipers look smaller, with the sports package you are given a larger set or brakes which def look good with 19s and wont look small.

 

I don't think the 9.5/48mm will rub on the inside on the rear but I'll know for sure in a few more weeks when my 48mm rears come in.

Keep in mind, you can always add a spacer to something like a 48mm to turn it into a 44mm, etc but you can't go the other way and turn a 40mm into a 44mm, 48mm, etc.

Here's a site that has a lot of Volk rims with offsets listed for G35 Sedan's and they are recommending 19x8.5" (+34 offset) front & 19x9.5” (+48 offset)

The 40mm rears I have look ok and don't rub even with two people in the back seat but I want an offset that I won't have problems with if I lower
the car about 1".

FYI, I got my RIMS for 2599.00 and tires for 964.00 (3563.00) total and I really didn't shop around that much. Might could have got them for a little less. Shipping was around 125.00. Cost me about 100.00 to get them mounted.

Someone said the rotors looked a little small... I plan on switching to larger
slotted rotors and stainless brake lines. The rotors are not that expensive at least compared to a full big brake kit (calipers & rotors).

I'll probably trade my G for the 6 or 7 speed AT when it comes out in '08 or '09
so I really don't want to invest in a BBK kit.

Only other mods will probably be adding the OEM factory painted spoiler on the rear and the OEM factory painted lip under the front bumper.

 

The original pictures with the Zenetti rims are on a G35 Sport.

 

This is an awesome look! Can you imagine what this would look like with slotted and/or cross-drilled rotors? OMFG!!!!
