So i am about to buy M45 rims, to put on my 07+G35s. I am wondering if anyone knows if I will need spacers or to clear the brakes? my car is dropped. Also what tire recommendations would you guys tell me to buy for these rims. I want something with high mileage but still has the low profile, so i am thinking like an all season performance tire? still get 30-40k mileage, but still keep the nice look of low profile. I dont need high performance summer tires because 1. i live in the northwest it rains a crap load, i need tires that do well in the bad weather 2. i drive like a grandma so no need for the performance tires. What sizes of tires should I go with? Are the sizes that are stock that come with the M45 sport sedan ok for our G's or no? thanks in advance!

The search function is in place for a reason. USE IT!!

 

To be fair, I just searched and only found two posts for M45 wheels on an '07, and they were for an X not a Sport.

You might check the wheels section.

 

M45 sport rims/tires will clear the stock brakes without spacers. Many are running them in this manner without issue.

Since your car is dropped, for a better looking stance, I would recommend adding 20 mm spacers all around.

 

^thanks for the response! ya i think i am gonna throw the wheels on first then do spacers a little later. im only buying the wheels cuz im getting a KILLER price on the rims. 350 for the entire set. no curb rash on three of the rims, and one has the slightest curb rash, which can prob be repaired for cheap. So i hear that i need hub centric spacers, no? probably run about 100/pair of spacers?

 

A quick search I did led me to this...

I think it has 10mm spacers.

 

Definitely get hubcentric spacers. Once I lower my car, I'm thinking about trying these from ebay because they're cheap, hubcentric, and are direct bolt-on (no need to remove the stock studs and install longer studs which is a PITA to do yourself):

Ichiba is popular on these boards, but pricier:

^What kind of rims do you have on your car? stock or aftermarket?

 

those ones from ebay are probably good, they are hub centric which is good. but ya i have heard the ichiba are popular

 

ima first put on the wheels/tires then later on worry about spacers. because they are a quick easy mod, and relatively cheap.

 

I've heard these guys are pretty good, check out, www.m2tuning.com. They not only sell spacers and adapters but the also offer lug nuts and locks. Know a few people whose bought from them. They're also track tested.

 

^they are real cheap. but they only make 10mm spacers. my car is dropped i need about 20mm all around.

 

M45 sport 19s!

 

^you gonna do the 10mm spacers? do you have a link to pics of your ride?

 

No pics for my ride. It's just a blk 08 w/ tinted windows and M45 19s. Once I lower the car, I'm going to do 20mm spacers - maybe 25mm.
