It'll be on the spokes.

You'll have a couple numbers.

1. 5x114.3 this is your bolt pattern
2. There will also be a 20xsomething, this will be your diameter by width. (probably 20x10 and 20x9)
3. Last will be something that will read ET and then a number (sometimes has a + symbol)

Find those and they are all you need, I know they are on there if they are asanti wheels. Lexani and Asanti stamp everything.

Hey I need some advice on what tires to purchase. I have an 05 coupe with these rims (http://tinyurl.com/2erychv) with 245/40/19s in the front and 275/40s in the back and I was wondering if i should go with the VREDESTEIN - SESSANTA's or the Pilot Sport 2's. I can get the Sessanta's in a bigger size but the PS2's are too expensive to go bigger than stock so should I go with 225/40 and 245/40 PS2's or the Sessanta's in one of these sizes http://tinyurl.com/3yjg7ag, I am not sure what sizes will keep the VDC happy and have good performance since I can't get the same size tires I already have. Thanks in advance guys!

^I'm by no means a tire expert, so I'll let some of the guys who are answer your question.
I just wanted to say congratulations on making your first post in the correct location. You have no idea how many annoying threads get started that are "Hey guys, what tires should I get" and we have to point them here.

Way to do the right thing SoccerStar and welcome to G35Driver.

Soccerstar,

Try to keep tires as close to oem size as possible to keep speedometer true and vdc from slipping.

Use this website and enter in you oem tire size and see what tires you can run to be as close as possible.

I would personally run Vredestein Sessanta's bc they are one sikk tire and thread pattern is cool, plus like you said cheaper

I wanna get 19x9F and 19x10R Forgestar F05 rims where I can choose my offsets. My tire set up is 245/35F and 255/40R and I'm dropped on Z H-techs. Can anyone chime in on the lowest offsets front and back that I can go with without having to roll my fenders? Thanks

hey so i currently have 20" asanti af 121s and there on bald tires! so the current sizes are 245/35/20 and 275/35/20 i have been told to get 275/30/20 in the back because ill be more level with the 30 series. and i showed my back rim to a friend and the side wall is straight up and down almost and he said to get a 265/30? i have pictures but as for width i dont know specs. the rims were custom made and theres no specs. i measured with a ruler from lip to lip inside the barrel and its 11" in the back and 9" in the front but that cant be accurate! :/ well any ways maybe you could tell froma picture the side wall is not stretched at all and im getting toyo t1rs if that makes any difference!

Here are the pictures hope these help!

Alrighty.. I'll make my first post an important question

I'm about to buy an 03 G coupe. I currently have wheels on my old car that will fit the bolt pattern to the G. How ever the tire size is 205/18/40 all the way around. I've noticed the Gs come with 245s in the back and 225s in the front. So my question is.. will the 205s still fit? And if they do, w/o any problems, will it look weird?

I decided I'm just going to just keep the tires that are on there because they're brand new Dunlop tires. So I'll just look into getting rims that will fit the current size.
