hey all, i picked up a set of 19" g37 wheels for my 05 g35 coupe that came with 17" wheels.ae the 19" a direct bolt on? when i was putting the rears on it tooak a little nudge to get them around the hub, but the do sit flat on the rotor, also i do not have a low tire pessure light on, so is it safe to assume the pressure monito is working correctly? also will the larger wheels effect my speedometer, thanks joe

 

...doesn't look good to me.

 

i think they look great..

 

Looks good we need more pics!
Anyone know the weight difference between the new 19s and the old 19s?

 

I think it looks good, but hands down the Rays 19's from the '05-'06 look more like they belong on the car, IMO.

 

i checked the speedo against my gps. it seems spot on, just need more input on the spacers and if i need them, thanks joe

 

from what i read, most went with 20-25mm spacers. the g37 offsets are more suited for sedan.

 

is that front and rear? or just rear?

 

Not quite true. His stock tires were staggered the 225/50/17 and 235/50/17 combo produced diameters of 25.9"/26.3" front to rear. The stock 18" wheels and tire combo produced diameters of 25.9'/26.8" front to rear. The G37 while using staggered sizes, uses diameters that make the diameter the same front to rear, 225/45/19 front and 245/40/19 rear, or a diameter of 26.9" on both ends. To match the stock height, the front tires should be replaced with 225/40/19 or 245/35/19 to reduce the OD of the front wheel/tire combo. The G35 VDC should not like the square setup of the G37, and should be letting you know it.

In addition, you should be using spacers as has been suggested above. The offsets are far more aggressive on the G35 Coupe than they are on the G37 Coupe or G35 Sedan. Your wheels look tucked in, and the tires could be coming in contact with under body components.

But, IMHO, the wheels look good on your car.

you could go 20 front and 25 rear, or even 25 front and 30 rear.

 

they look good IMO, spacers are definitely in order

 

They look good but you def need spacers to make em flush...

 

they look better on the older style sedan IMO

 

they look okay IMO. I think the 20mm and 25mm spacers will help make them look much better. go with Eibach hubcentric spacers as they have the studs already contained and you won't have to use centering rings or longer studs. once these are more flush to the fender line they should look much better...more aggressive. post some pics after spacer install. cheers.

IMO, nothing beats the look and weight combo of the 19" OEM Rays that came with the 05-07 sport package with 20mm and 25mm spacers.

 

+1 on changing the tire size, that front tire looks huge!
