I cant find any nice aftermarket rims and so I just take a break.. I found a set of G35 wheel and great condition tires in local... Thank for me that I do research for G35 wheel in local so I dont have to worry about doing all the work for shipping and other stuff... Sorry the pic was too dark but IM gonna swap different rear size of tires tomorrow at work.. I put front rims on and it make rub like crazy.. The front is 225 and Im gonna put 215 to see how it go.. Also they are for sale too...





1) Stock Lexus Lug Nuts will work on Infiniti wheel

2) The front and rear rims sit flush and they look better then stock ISX50 wheel because the offset is low..

3) 245 Series tire in rear will able to tuck under the fender without roll..

4) They are temporary wheel on my car and I will get 215 front tires soon...

I know, wait until I get the front tires.. Thank for myself again that I have extra defect front tire (215-35-19) for the front rims and see if there is room clearance between the fender and bumper.. If they fit perfect, I will buy brand new 215-35-19 tires again...

i recommend:

- 225/35-19's up front and 255/35-19's in the rear, because you'd have to stretch 215/35-19's to make them fit up front.
- raising your car up, so you don't have rubbing issues w/ the aforementioned tire sizes.
- hubcentric rings, as peace of mind and a preventive measure.

while these oem g35 19's might be lugcentric (vs. hubcentric), if the lugs are not tightened the respective rim will not be centered, and you will have high-speed vibration. best case scenario, you'll end up w/ flat spots on your tires. worst case scenario, you'll have suspension failure.

hubcentric rings will center the wheel with the hub. fyi, these oem g35 19's have a hub diameter of 66.1 (for nissans/infinitis), and the 2is has a hub diameter of 60.1.

hubcentric rings are not that expensive, and if you order them from justforwheels.com and ship them priority, it won't cost more than $50 and you'll get them in 2-3 working days.
