Came across these wheels- Should I?

Found this in the local classifieds for $300...

Four infinity wheels and tires with good tread left.

Tire size: 225/50R17

Two tires are Bridgestone Potenza

Two tires are Kumho ECSTA ASX

I estimate at least a year or more of tread life remaining. These wheels and tires have been on my 2008 Infinity G35X only during the winter months for the last 2 years.

Wheels are standard 17" OEM Infinity Wheels from a few years ago. No significant damage.


I have factory 17" chrome wheels, and I do like the "alloy" look a bit more. If I didn't recently buy brand new tires, I would go with coupe 19s, so that's not an option.

Would these wheels fit my car? The tires on these are 225s and I have 215s now (I would switch the tires onto the new wheels), so would those fit these new wheels or would they be too narrow?

I also got brand new tires on my OEM 18's for my coupe, and I decided to wait until my tires need replacing before I size up to 19s and get new wheels.

So in my opinion, save the money for the new wheels, and wait until yours need replacing.

Well it'll be a few years until my tires need to be replaced...and I wouldn't be spending much on wheels anyway. I'd buy used OEM wheels most likely...

I was just looking around on Google Images, and it looks like based on the image these are off of a 2006 Coupe (17" wheels). Can anyone confirm this?

They look like coupe wheels to me. I wouldn't buy anything from someone who couldn't spell Infiniti

Ok, so next question. I was just looking online and it looks like the coupes with these wheels had 225 in the front and 235 in the rear. Is that correct? I would want to keep my new-ish 215s if possible. Would they fit on these coupe wheels?
