NISMO Wheels on a G

I am thinking of getting a set of 19-inch NISMO LMGT4 wheels for my '06 G.
These wheels are 19x8.5 (front) and 19x9.5 (rear). Bolt pattern
is 5x114.3.Offset is +25 front and +30 rear. Who has these on their G ?
How do they fit and how do they look (any pics to "share") ?? Any clearance
problems ? Also, are these one-piece forged wheels ? How much does each wheel weigh and are they lighter than the "stock" 19-inch 5-spokes ?
Any info. will really help me out....thanks !!

These 19" wheels are made exclusively for the 350Z / G35 Coupe applications with the correct offsets and bolt pattern. So they are guaranteed to fit. By the way, I don't think they make them in any other bolt pattern and offset in the 19's. They are a 1-piece forged monoblock manufactured by RAYS ENGINEERING. Very nice lightweight wheels. Weight wise, I think they are roughly 20~22 lbs.

Here's a site of a 350Z with these wheels on. May take a bit of time to load, but lots of nice quality pics.

Man, do those disc brakes look small with those wheels!

Do they make a set for the sedan? Where is the best place to buy?

I don't think those will fit on the sedan. Sedan requires wheels with offsets in the high +30's.

I have the 18"s on mine, bought before the 19"s were available... the nineteens are cool, I know someone with them on a Z.

The Sedan's are different. A buddy has them on order from Japan,the wait is ~80 days. If I understand correctly, they are basically made-to-order. But they are available for the sedan with the correct offset. Try japanparts.com.

I also have the 18s on my Coupe. All dimensions are the same as the 19s, except for the wheel diameter (18" vs 19") But, width and offset are the same as is the cross section of the tire. With the 18s you use 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 and the 19s use 245/35/19 and 275/35/19, so the outer diameter of the 18" and 19" tire/wheel combo would be the same. Her's a pict of my 18s. I really like 'em. I've had them for close to three years now. IMO, the offsets are perfect.

Lou, those rims look sweet on your car. I was always a fan of the Nismo LMGT4. Love the concave spokes on the face. And the 18" version is even lighter at about 18lbs each!

Mine are similar to yours as they are constructed the same way by the same group of people. Only difference is they are 6 spoke while the Nismos are the classic 5 spoke but have the same concave spoke styling.

OH6, if weight is an issue, you might also consider the LMGT4 in 18's.

They are the one of the nicest looking wheels for the coupe and the 350z. I wish they fit the sedan.
