G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
I responded to your question in the Brakes sub-forum. They'll fit just fine, cleared my Wilwoods easily.

Hey guys, I have a quick question.

I have a 2008 g35x sedan AWD and am looking to get new wheels. I am interested in possibly putting some wheels from a coupe onto my car and know that I should get a full set of either front or rear wheels instead of having them staggered. I guess my question is which would be the better fit for placing all around on my car, 19x8, 19x8.5 or 19x9?

This is with a 20mm spacer.

It hits the caliper at 4 spots. The two corner edges, and two inner edges where the caliper is widest.

Wheel would not free spin at all.

spacers fitment...

I've searched and searched and searched....Ok so I just got some ichiba v1 12mm spacers for my rear and I went to install them only to find that when i took the rotor off to pound out the studs I grabbed a new stud to match it up and I know it's gonna be longer than the stock studs but it was WAY too long so i was unable to squeeze it behind the hub to install them. The only other way I can see them getting installed is to have a shop remove the entire hub to set them in. I was really trying to do this myself to save the time/money/hassle...if there's any other tricks to get these bad boys in please let me know thanks!

Is there no notch in the dust shield where you can take one stud out, rotate rub, and repeat. Then stick the new studs in, rotate hub, and repeat?

Hello Fellas. I had question about getting new rims. I am planning on getting rims with these specs.
Size: 19"x 8.5"

Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3

Off Set: +32mm

I want that size all around so I can rotate them. I'm a college student and want to maximize my tires. My questions are
1) will 245/40/19 work fine all around with no rubbing, I have G eibach sportlines.
2) do I need to install TPMS sensors, if not, will this make anything light up on my cluster?
3) also to get a flush look, what size spacers would you recommend without having to roll my fenders.



Thank you guys so very much!!

04 5at coupe

with those specs you won't have any troubles at all rubbing....without TPMS your tire sensor will go off only after like a mid-range drive

as far as spacers go you aren't going to be able to get flush in the rear even with the largest spacers made for these cars
