Too lazy to really search, but check out these two threads:

https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-tires/188234-need-help-picking-up-lug-nuts.html (these are the wheels I have)

https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-tires/198385-new-rim-out-need-your-opinion.html (pg. 3 has a pic of a different wheel, pg. 2 as well I think)

The ones in the picture aren't mine, but it's possible that it's the same set-up as mine. Mine are 19x9 +22, and 19x10 +25. IMO, they look great....I couldn't be happier with my wheel set-up.

The center caps have been on back order I have them ordered and they said they think they'll be here this month (I ordered them back in September....they've taken much longer than it took for me to get the wheels). But here's a pic of what I ordered:


They weigh about 19 pounds each (very light weight). I have the dark gunmetal (DG coupe). I purchased them from a local company called Six Autoworks, so I didn't have to pay for shipping. I know gruppe-s can also get them, and I believe they still don't make you pay for shipping, so you should check with them on a price quote.

Haha, my car doesn't fall into the socially accepted type of car on this forum (it's not dropped, in fact it's not even clean!). I just don't have any pics of it....and I don't want to hear "your car needs a drop" and "slam that b!tch" and "your ride height sucks" so I just don't post pics...

use to have these in 19x8.5 +40 all around on my 03 sedan. excellent rim and very light weight. not looking for anything specific, just pics of lipless wheels on G's for comparison. everyone seems to be going for the huge lip look. guilty as I have Ro_Ja R2-5.

Ah Ha!!!... do you have pics from when you had the wheels?... I've been pounding my head (and buggin' members on this board) tying to decide what sizes & offsets to go with... How did you like running that size? Would you have preferred staggered? I was going to run what you did, but then went a diff direction... I'm putting a deposit down today or this week... I just haven’t decided what to do yet

no pics, sorry. the actual size was 18x8.5 +40...typo. this was a perfect fitment and allowed to still rotate tires. ran 245-40. they only weighed like 18lbs. chance to do it again and would have gone with 19's in 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +45 with 245-35 and 275-30. just decided to buy a coupe instead.

I mis-read the 19 originally... I'm looking at 18X8.5

Did the rears tuck in with +40 front & rear?... also, I'm debating on 40 or 45 series... the 245/45 are closer to OEM... 255/40 are even closer but maybe too wide?

18x8.5 +40 front and rear is perfect fitment. not too aggressive, but certainly not "tucked" or "sunken".

255-40 is not too wide, but may have a bit more of a "bulged" look. I like the more "stretched" look and lower tire profile. 245-40 is not "stretched", but has a nice low profile...not too low.

found this setup to be perfect. tried 18x9.5 +40, 275-35 in rear, but it was way too aggressive with the 350Z H-Techs. needed fender roll.
