I am running 225/35 and 245/35 simply because I do not like bubbly tires. I also plan on adding spacers so the stretched tire will help me fit the wheels with my drop.

Factory Toyota/Lexus lug nuts will not work with G35 rims because of the seating. Lexus OE wheels require only factory lug nuts ("shank" style) which have a washer

The G35 wheels and most aftermarket wheels require a "Acorn" seat which you can pick up at any auto parts store. Make sure that they are 12x1.5 thread pitch other wise you run the risk of stripping or cross threading your studs. The hex size you can either get 3/4 (19mm) or 13/16 (21mm). the benefit of the 13/16 is that you can still use your spare tire iron if needed. But I would recommend getting a thin wall socket to prevent scratches.

You can use acorn tuner nuts but its not necessary. If you do go this route make sure they are "closed" end. "open" ended tuners water gets inside and usually cause your studs to rust and weaken over time.

"Acorn" style


Tuner "Closed" Acorn


Tuner "Open" Acorn
