2007 G35s mimimum wheel size?
 

I have a set of winter tires + wheels from my 2005 G35, will they fit on the 2007 G35s? I know the spare rim is a 17" one(coolest spare I have ever seen), but that 's a very sporty looking spare, I figured it was to fit the bigger brakes.

No the 17s wont clear calipers. You can buy spacers though and still use them. 15mm should clear the calipers.

Thanks for the info, that's what I was thinking after seeing the spare.

Will 17s from a G35 / G37 fit on the G35S? I'm looking @ the price of spacers.. I can get some 17s used for less than the spacers and swap the tires!

The 17s from any second gen (V36) chassis will fit on the G35S model. The only difference between V36 Sport vs. non-sport models that could possibly effect you is the brakes, and there is still plenty of clearance there. The only clearance issues that came up were with the later G37 Sport models which had the bigger Akebono calipers.

I see, so V35 rims will not fit if 17s :P? I Guess I'll just have to test fit a set, the Steelies I have, I haven't tried yet.

I never said that. I responded to your post specifically asking about V36 17's. I don't know about the V35 17" cross fitment, so I can't speak to that, but it looks like you already asked about that in your original post. :confused2:

Sorry, should have been more clear, I have 17" Wheels ( Steelies) from my v35 with winters on them, that I wanted to use on the V36, incase they don't fit, rather than get spacers, I might just get another set of 17s.

OK, one last question, will these fit on the G35s (2007)?? I tried some generic 17" rims that did not clear the caliper :(

WHat brakes do you have on the car?

2007 G35 S comes with 18's but the brakes are the same as the base model G35 which does wear 17" rims.

I have a feeling it will come down to a matter of offset/BS if they will clear the calipers. You could always try spacers.

I have the factory brakes on the car, are you sure that they are the same size on the g35 without the sport package? I Guess I Can always just test fit one wheel.

Quote from one review
"The brakes, on the other hand, are flawless. Sport models get larger 13-inch rotors front and back, and they stop this big sedan with little trouble. Fade is not an issue, pedal feel is excellent and stops from 60 mph take just 112 feet."'

Nope, they're not the same :S

Regular /x and journey are 12.6" front and 12.1 rear, the sport is 13" all around

Yup you are right. I never new the G35 sport sedans had different brakes.


Due to the larger diameters I have a feeling you are going to be stuck using 18's or usng a pretty big spacer with some 17's (not all) to clear the brakes.

It looks like 17s will fit, but not all, depends on style, like previously noted in this thread, I guess I'll just have to try one wheel on the front :).
