M45 Sport Wheels

I'm looking to buy the M45 19' Sport Wheels. ( The ones everyone keeps drooling over ! ) Now I was wondering what size spacers, if any, will be required if purchasing,

A. 2005 M45 Sport Wheels
B. 2006 M45 Sport Wheels

My G35 is a 2005, 4-door Sedan, Automatic, with the Luxury and Sport Packages- Meaning I have the 18' Sport wheels on My G35 now.

All help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

i got them on my coupe, i used 25mm spacers. the guy i bought them from tried fitting them on his sedan, and it didn't. so what the stock sedan offsets? 40 something? so i'd say 10- 15mm spacers would be good. the M rims offsets are 50mm.

I've got a similar question. If I get the 10 mm or 15 mm spacers and put on the M45 sport wheels...is there going to be a problem if I switch back to my 17's?

I want to put the 19's on for the summer with high performance tires, and be able to switch to the 17's OEM's for winter driving here in Colorado.

if those are 50mm, you can probably fit a 30mm spacer up front
and 25mm on the rear for a nice tight fit. if the tires are on the
narrow side, do 25mm front and 20mm on the rear so that it
doesn't look weird.

kics should have those sizes.

I agree w/kenchan. If the offsets are, indeed, as high as 50, then you really want to run some 30mm spacers front/rear to make it sit right.

Since you have a SEDAN, I recommend running a 10mm spacer. This will ensure you clear the suspension and give more of a flushed look with the wheel. If I remember correctly, those 19's are 8" wide? If so, I would go with a 245/40 tire. Should be a good fit.

The larger spacers recommended above (i.e. 30mm) are for a coupe setup, not a sedan.

if you use a spacer incorrectly they are dangerous... like forcing a 5+mm
spacer on stock stud lengths.
