Will these rims fit?
 

Hi guys my cousin has a set of wheels lying about, originally it was for an Evo 10, and now he's selling them I wanted to see if I'd have any difficulty fiting these sizes:

Wheels----------PCD-------Hole------Off set
19ｘ8.5----------114.3-------5---------51
19ｘ8.5----------114.3-------5---------45
19ｘ8.5----------114.3-------5---------38

Same size wheels and tires for front and rear, would this cause me any issues since the G is a RWD?

I forgot to mention that I am lowered on JIC Magic coilovers, but only at the min drop height which I think is around 1- 1.5" lower than stock

and I know nothing about offsets or PCD or how these wheels would affect my handling so any help would be appreciated.

Also would it be ok to use the bolts that came with the wheels for the Evo X? or would I need to source newer ones?

The first two would end up too tucked-in, being lowered would just amplify that issue. My vote would be on the +38 offset, lower even if you can find it.

Those size wheels will be fine, i run the same on mine (except i have a +35 offset) with 255/40 tires and have no issues with it whatsoever.

p.s. You may also want to check the bore size on those wheels to make sure it fits on the G. Might need to get rings if that's the case.

humm ok one questino by bore size do you mean the size of the hole that the bolts fit into?

also does anyone know what the standard offset sizes for the Sports wheels on the G are?

No, he is talking about the diameter of the hole in the center of the wheel. It has to slip over the hub on your car. I believe the proper bore size is 66.1 mm. If the bore on his is bigger than you can use them if you get hub centering rings.

If that is okay than the 38mm offset rim is your best fit.

^WHS.
Most aftermarket wheels are 73mm hubs & you need hubcentric rings to fit the Infiniti 66.1mm hub.
& I agree the 38mm offset is definitely the best choice of those wheels.

ok now does anyone have a linky to where they sell these hub-centric rings? and are they advisable to use? or is it better to stay away from them?

What I mean is would I get any vibrations or bad feedback when fitting the hub-centric rings? as apposed to staying on my OEM wheels?

and what's the offset of the OEM 18" sports wheels?

You absolutely need them.
You should be able to source them from any wheel vendor.

Terry's data table has all that info in there.

Yeah I know I need them :p, I'm just asking would I be better off getting different rims, ones which don't need the Hubcentric ring for?

because I don't like adapters and stuff being stuck onto the wheels so are they safe? or could they add any vibrations? or does everyone need these hubcentric rings when getting aftermarket wheels?

lol I hope that makes it clearer

Also thanks for the link dude, it's got all the info I need :biggthumpup:

i always thought that most if not all aftermarket wheels needed hub centric rings for a proper fit. the rings are really no big deal; just a small, sometimes plastice piece that just fits inside the hub; makes a huge diff in the smoothness of the ride.

^whs; You won't find wheels other than OE that fit w/o rings.

BTW, if you do any track time I prefer aluminum rings like these.

Okkkkaaayy thanks guys that makes sense now, thanks

Ok slight update guys, I found out the rims are actually 19 x 9" Offset is 25:

Wheels----------PCD-------Hole------Off set
19ｘ9 -----------114.3---------5----------25

Now according to the offset calculator I'll get:

Front
Inner Clearance: 1mm more
Outer position: Extended 39mm!!


Rear
Inner Clearance: 19mm more
Outer position: Extended 31mm

Now would I face rubbing issues? considering this will the size for both front and rear? 9" on the front? and dropped on JIC :dunno:

Maz, 19x9 +25 will fit very nicely on your car.
Since you're lowered you'll have some natural camber from the drop so you won't have any rubbing issues at all, especially if you go with 245/40/19 tires all around. You could even throw on a pair of 255's in the rear for a little more rubber.

Ok guys I found out as well that the wheels have a 73.1mm Bore size, so I will be needing the rings, I've already ordered a set from Z1 performance: http://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-t...c-rings-4.html . I've just got one question, the guy told me that the bore size is 73.1mm while the adapter is 73mm, now I know it's probably a silly question but would the 1mm matter? I doubt it but I'm just trying to re-assure myself

Thanks for the reassurance Borna,

Now all I've got to get are the bolts, lol any idea what kind I'll need for these sizes?

Anytime bro.

What do you mean by bolts? Lug nuts?
If so then get any style lug nut that you like in a 12x1.25 size. Just make sure you get tuner lugs and don't use the OEM ones cause they don't fit properly.
Muteki lug nuts are a good option if you aren't looking to spend too much.

What color are the wheels?

I was thinking of getting these lug nuts:

http://www.amplifiedmotorsport.com/i...=7&subcatid=50

The wheels are Dark Gun Metallic.

and I thought you had to get different size lug nuts like on Euro cars like my old Audi.

I also just realized there are two types of Lug nuts that I have to choose from:

R26 Racing Lock & Nut Composite (26 grams)

R40 Racing Nut Composite (40 grams)

http://www.amplifiedmotorsport.com/i...=7&subcatid=50

So which one should I choose? Because I have no idea what the difference is

ah ok I think I understand the difference:

R26: 16 Lug Nuts + 4 Locks
R40: 20 Lug Nuts and no locks

I think I'll go for the R26 just for added security

Lug nut sizes don't change when you change wheels. They change according to bolt sizes with different cars.

The R26 is the short lug nut at 35mm while the R40 is the extended lug nut at 50mm.
If you want the lugs to show you should go for the R40, especially since Neo Chromes are open ended. They should both come with lock nuts.
R40 on the left and R26 on the right:
http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/kics_r40b.jpg http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/kics_r26b.jpg

Definitely go for the R40s, otherwise there's no point in spending $260 for flashy lug nuts if they won't even show. Just ask them for the R40s with lock nuts.

Amplified has the R40s with lock nuts. You just have to read the description to see it.

Here are two cheaper sites you can get the Neo Chromes from.

Borna, you're a smart fella you are lol :)

I'm used to Euro cars which don't have all these fiddly things but thanks for the info, I was kinda thinking along the same lines as what you said, but thanks for clarifying

Hey guys ok I have another question on these rims.

Ok so they are 19x9" Offset +25

Now all 4 rims will be the same size, so I want to play around with the tire dimensions to get the tires slightly fatter/wider in the rears than the fronts.

Currently the above rims have 255/35 installed on all of them, Does anyone know what's the max I can go on the 19x9" rims? can I fit 265? or even 275 tires on the rear?

I think you are better off checking the specs of the tire you want to put on the rears. Manufacturers usually publish the min-max range of wheel width the tire can safely be mounted on.

^whs +1
Tirerack is a good place for a lot of that info all in one place instead of the mfg sites.

Sorry I didn't reply to your last message Maz, didn't see the thread.

I'd say your best choice is to go for something similar to OEM sizes just in 19's and keep them the same all around. The wheels you're looking to run are semi-aggressive in offset so you don't want to risk any rubbing.

You have to remember that the overall diameter of the wheel/tire setup should be similar to stock so you keep the VDC in check.

I'd say go for 245/40/19 all around, that way you can even rotate your wheels to get better tread wear and longer tire life.

If you really want to go for a staggered tire setup, then your best bet is 235/40/19 up front and either 255/35/19 or 265/35/19 (preferably the latter if there's clearance) out back.

Ok I found this on tirerack, i selected my car and selected the sport package 18" that's what I currently have, then I selected optional 19" and it gave me the below sizes:

So I guess if I was to get 275 PS2s then I'd have to check the specs of the rear 275 tire and if it would fit on a 9" wide rim correct?

Do you think I'd be close to rubbing with 265 on the rear?

Thanks for the feedback dude, I wouldn't want to go down to 235 on the front I think it'll make the ride really harsh, I think 245 would be the lowest I'd be willing to go with the fronts.

I think I'll leave them at 255 for now until they wear out and change the rear to 265 if that's possible

im on 19 and running 245 all round which is a much better option as mine all four wheels are same and i can rotate now every 10k...

On mine i tried at the time of buying my tires tried 265..and there were chances of rubbing even though im on -ve camber and lowered but it wasnt looking nice as setup was not staggered..

humm ok thanks for the info dude,

E-ticket has 275 on the rear wheels right now with no rubbing issues, but I guess it's all down to the camber and width of wheel as well. How wide are your 19s?

mine are stock M35 so 8.5 +50 or 55 offset im running on 15mm spacers and i tried 265 with the setup there was rubbing then stick to 245 all round

Camber is around -1.5...ride is very smooth much better then OEM 18

humm I'm surprised there was rubbing, I'm guessing it could be due to the spacers as well?

I'm just saying this because looking at the excel sheet with everyone's wheel and tire settings there are a few with 265-275 and even 285!! I'm talking about the rear of course

The offset has a lot to do with it. 50mm with a 15mm offset brings you down to 35, which is still a relatively safe offset.

Also, tire width is not always equal. Some manufacturers have 245's that are wider than others at 255 (for example). The width of the wheel it's going in also affects the tires final width.

Ok so as my rims are 25 offset would that make it easier or harder to install 265s on the rear only? compared to having an offset of 50?

I guess its also linked to the rim width mine is 8.5 and stock wheels were 245 so i stick with those...offset is 50 but with spacers its a perfect flush look with +35 :)
