For people with G35 wheels, do you use hub centric rings?

I use the same tuner lugs. My rear tire is 245/35/19 and with -2 of camber I can run a 10mm spacer, but that leaves me with absolutely no room in between. I don't have rolled or shaved quarters either. I'm going to put on my friends old spacers on soon and see how it is. 5mm up front and 10mm in the rear.

I used to run a 225/35/19 up front, but now I have a 235/35/19 and no rubbing. The rear has no issues right now either and I got my hands on the 10mm spacers...I just have to find time to put them on.

I received the hub rings from 1010tires and they fit perfectly. After installation I experienced about a 90% reduction in shake I still get a little bit but its probably my car need to change all of the bushing on the front end.
I just recently acquired a set of M45 19's that I believe are the same 66.1. So would it be advisable to get the 66.06 to 60.06 plastic set or go for the 66.06 to 60.1 aluminum from 1010tires.com? I had a local shop here recommend me to bore the wheels out to a bigger size that way the rings could be thicker. I don't really know if I want to go that route

just updating this a little bit, now have my hub centric rings, lugs, and im picking up ANOTHER set of g35's. im getting all four for like 250 and they are 19x8 (so i can rotate them correctly) im gonna go with 235/35/19 on all 4 rims (actually gonna look for a matching spare shortly) just need to get tires/spacers and these are going on....
future plans while im doing this are to put on the coils im getting from a local member,finally install my Daizen control arm bushings,either FIG's RCA's or SAGE's RCA,and either the ls400 brake kit or the TT brake kit

anyone have a suggestion on a good tire? not to noisy, good all around handling and not to quick to wear out. i been using michelin energy MXV4'S which are GREAT tires but they dont make them in the 19's plus they are expensive in 16's yet alone the retarded cost if 19's

well i did pick up the rims today (actually my brother picked up the rims in oregon for me) the seller let me know 3 are 19x8 and one is 19x8.5 so he sold them to me for $150 wow what a amazing price. so now i will sell the 19x8.5 and pick up 2 more 19x8,one to replace it and one for a full sized spare

im gonna run 235/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport AS Plus Tires (wanted to run the pilot sport plus but they will wear out WAY to quickly for the cost of them)

so with this setup, should i go for 10mm spacers F&R? if so, im assuming they wont rub at all with no fender mods

Wow! You got a great deal. G35 rims go on average of $900 bucks around here. Can't wait to see picks of everything installed! Oh and btw if you happen to find/buy another set for cheap let me know!

If i slap the g35 7-spokes onto my 1gs what size or kind of lug nuts do I need? 12x1.5MM? I already got the hub rings. But, I'm curious about the lug nuts since people are saying we can't/shouldn't use the stock ones.

i know, i been trolling the g35 classfieds since jan looking for another good deal. im not paying the 900 people want for them. this is my 3rd and final set of them (i havent paid more than 600 WITH tires for any of the sets nor will i)

they not in bad shape but im gonna clean them up, little paint chipping and some minor curbage but for 150 i dont care. rims need a little buffing and what not but should be good to go soon (5th pic is a paint chip not a curb and last 2 pics are the rim im gonna sell 19x8.5 and no thats not a curb mark its grease)

Brian are you asking about 10mm spacers front and rear? If so then that is hard to figure out without knowing your height or fender mods. G35 wheels are 33 or 30 offset depending if you are using the 8.5's or the 8s. Would need more info in order to give you better advise.


Quick Reply: For people with G35 wheels, do you use hub centric rings?
