honestly it only sounds to me you don't know that much about wheels
And that's exactly what I was saying. Guess that was just pointed out to me because I'm just a lowly reader and not a moderator.

And those m45 rims don't give the same effect on the GS as it does the M. Maybe becuase of the GS stock height.

i replied you as a member, not moderator. if you think that way you just made another mistake.

i don't mind not knowing information and details, there are still a lot for me to learn for that matter. but before i make any bold statements i always make sure i know what i am talking about or i stay humble.

well, that's how i am as a person

If you mean the Infiniti G37 19" wheels, the bolt patterns are the same but the offset might be slightly different. They should fit on the GS300 but you have to find the right size of tires to match your GS300 OE wheel/tire diameter.

I think it looks really good, and dunnojack proved it.

the specs are as follows front 19 x 8.5 -26.5 lbs offset +43

rear 19x9 -27.5 lbs offset +45
gs would need 35 series rubber., and I think spacers, wouldn't I need offsets in the thirties to get flush??? Also to respond to the other post, I would not buy these new, used take offs can be had for around 1200-1400 or so with tires Sorry, guys didn"t have time to swap out with wife's car this weekend because of relatives visiting, Also need to secure small floor jack. Will test fit asap:

Offsets should be pretty flush without spacers. Lots of the infiniti G sedan guys put these wheels on and they sit flush, the G sedan uses about the same offsets as the GS.

M35/45 wheels would need about a 15-20mm spacer to look right

8.5 +43 and 9 +45, they aren't flush at all. considering that 9 +40 and 10+42 will still not rub and sit pretty good with fenders, with these infiniti wheels the front and rear are 10mm and 15mm more inset!

For an OEM wheel style, these should look pretty decent IMO. They will sit 8mm F and 12mm R further out compared to stock 18" gs350 wheels. That would definitely leave room to put a 10mm spacer, but not completely necessary and still a nice be a nice improvement over the stock 18's.

Lets see some pics of these wheels mounted!

That seems about right for OEM wheels. Hell they are quality rims so I'd be VERY surprised if they were cheaper than that. Not to mention it's coming from the dealership so right off the bat it's going to be expensive.

careful with the jacks, and swap only one wheel at a time if you're gonna do it
