Other OE Nissan/Infiniti Wheels that will fit a G35 Sedan

5x114.3 is the size of the G35 Sedan...right?

I have a 2004 G35 Sedan with Brembo brakes, I need to find some cheap wheels for the winter. Somewhere I heard that 2000+ Maxima wheels will fit. Is this true?

Are there any other wheels that'll fit that I could pick up for cheap? I need some blizzak's in a hurry and don't want to mount them on my current wheels...

More than likely NO maxima wheels will clear your Brembos. Your better off looking for oem Z or Coupe wheels

The easiest fix would be to find 18 or 19 inch coupe wheels.

I assume you installed the brembos on the coupe.

Will the 19" M Sport rims fit on the 05 sedan without any adjustments?

no, from what I was told my sedan came with Brembo's from the factory because it has the sport package and the manual transmission, or maybe it's just the manual transmission that gives it the brembo's...

but they are stock...

getting 18" snow tires would be a lot harder than 17" snow tires, wouldn't it? I'd like to go as small as possible...

I asked that question about the Brembos because I've never seen a set on a sedan. Maybe it's because of the 6MT leather. I dunno.

I don't know much about snow tires or availability since I live in Florida and it is 80 degrees outside and we have the A/C on in the house, but www.tirerack.com has 18 inch Blizzacks for the coupe wheels.

I know the 18 inch coupe wheels will clear the brembos.

what rims do you have on it now, 17's or 18's?

I hope you went to verify what you were told about your sedan. I dont think any sedan ever came with Brembos from the factory. If you do indeed have brembo's they must be aftermarket, or swapped from a Gcoupe/Z.

... the easiest and most obvious way to confirm if you do indeed have brembo's, look at the brake caliper to see if it has the Brembo logo.

If it looks like this, then its the stock non-brembo brakes, which are smaller.



... this is the factory Brembo caliper that came on the coupes and Z's...



If you have the stock brakes, I dont think you should have much trouble finding a set of wheels for your winter setup.

well, it was the guy from Superior Infiniti that told me they had the Brembo's, and that was after I bought it. I thought they were the regular stock brakes when I bought it. I was just believing the guy at Infiniti over the guy at the Acura store where I bought it.

Good thing that's not the reason I bought the car! ahaha

They are the stock/smaller brakes afterall. Good to know because they stop me plenty fast for my street use and they're much cheaper to replace!

Oh, and that's how the guy at the Infiniti dealer brought them up. He said, "oh, you've got the 6 speed sedan, eh? You know you're going to go through brakes and tires like a mad man right? And those brembo pads and rotors are pricey, just wanted to let you know so you're not in shock down the road..."

what a tool....


ok, so then will 5th Gen Maxima wheels fit my non-brembo G without spacers or anything?

Since you don't have Brembos, your wheel choices are better. Try calling a local junk yard and see what they have that cross references with the G sedan and a 350Z. They may have parts guides as to what parts are interchangable.

no sedan came w/ brembos period only 03-'04 coupe 6mt's.... '05-'07 coupe 6mt's have infiniti 2 piston calipers non brembos


also G sedan and 350z have completely different offsets

maxima, 02-up altima, TL, accord V6 -- those rims fit

toyota's won't fit b/c it's a smaller center bore on the wheels
