Have an opportunity to pick up a mint set of M45 Sport Wheels for $999 with tires tomorrow 6/9/2007

I've read through countless threads about how the offset for the M45 wheels are +50MM. It seems everyone speculates and no one has a definite answer on the exact offset.

I know that the rear will not rub only appear slightly tucked in. I have a 2005 G Sedan and wonder how badly the front will rub without spacers. I prefer not to use spacers if possible.

Of the G's that I've found on this website with the M's wheels installed I've noticed the majority to be '03 and '04 models. Since the '05 and '06 models introduced a larger wheel combination, what are the chances of the M45 wheels rubbing on my '05 Sedan?

Pls no flaming (I am very familiar with the search button) just anyone with a solid answer.

 

Bump

 

The individual that is selling them to me had them on an I35 and he is stating that they did not rub at all. He also stated that he did not use spacers and had no problems.

 

why not use spacers?

I'm using 25+ and feel no difference.

I got Ms on my coupe and I never ran them without spacers. H&R are very nice spacer. Get spacer and forget about it.

 

The H&R spacers that I found are $60 a piece. So that's an additional $240 on top of the price of the wheels. Not to mention I have zero equipment for the install which means taking them to a shop and pay more $$.

I guess I am a cheap bastard but I want to come out of this paying as little as possible.

 

mounting on spacers is same as mounting on wheels, You can just ask a tire shop to do it.

 

sorry i believe for the G you absolutely must use spacers up front. the tire is basically right on the suspension otherwise

 

Thanks for the info gentlemen.

 

I too have a set of M45 Sport rims going onto my 07 G35c. I still have not found where to buy the spacers, but I want 40 and 45 mm spacers. I don't know if that means I need to change out the wheel studs or not. Any ideas?

My question, will the TPMS still work, or do I need to take the TPMS out of my stock rims to keep the system?

 

^anyone know about the TPMS problem? I'm also gonna be swapping m45 wheels on to my sedan and wanted to know if the TPMS on any M wheel (any year) will work?

I know the dealer will have to program them to my car, but will the actual TPMS work or do i need to take to ones out of my current wheels?

 

The dealer in South Miami told me that all infinity TPMS modules are basically the same, just need to have the new ones programed. I'l know next week.
