Default 08 G37 19" OEM wheels on IS350?

Anyone tried to put 08 G37 19" OEM wheels on IS250/350? Would they fit okay? If I do get these, I will need to remove the infinity center cap..
What do you think? Good idea or bad idea??

Front: 19x8.5, offset is 43mm
Rear: 19X9, offset is 45mm
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3

I can't wait to see what they will look like granted I had the similar 17's on my AWD. I like the finish that offers a graphite look. If the offset and bolt pattern is the same (probably is), you should be free to go.

Infiniti definitely kicks Lexass as far as wheel designs go....I think it would look cool, I'm just on the fence about whether putting Infiniti wheels on a Lexus is 'ok'...

We'll, this is true that Infinit does have some sportier wheel designs, but these factory rims basically come from the same supplier for both brand cars. The vast majority are made in China and shipped to Japan for instal. You will see the Chinese character stamping and lot no. inside the rim.

nissan 350z and infiniti g35/g37 wheels will fit fine and all clear IS350s front brakes due to a wider offset. The only problem is that there are no 50MM toyota/lexus center caps...

If, by that, you mean it's round and multi spoked then yes it is pert near identical.

For me that Infinity design is pretty much played out, having seen variations of it on everything that brand has churned out for a few years. It is a design that is starting to get picked up by other manufacturers for OEM applications Hyundai installs one somewhat like it on the “near luxury” Azera.

I’m sure that they are cheap (to make), cast (heavy) and durable…like the vast majority of OEM wheels.

I'll be curious as to how it'll look. The Japanese IS-F wheels are so cool.
