I don't know about the G rims, the 06 and above M rims need spacers, I put 06 M45 Sport rims on my 97'. I wouldn't buy them again, I ddin't know betterwhen I bought them, however, I found a great set of spacers for about $280 bucks and they look very nice pushed out.

If I had to do it again my choice would be 02-06 Q45 18" rims of 20" FX35/45 rims depending on how big you want them. given the G is a lighter car that wouldn't be my first choice. If you have a line on some of them at a good price look up the offsets, but knockoffs from FX seem to be around. There is a set of 04' Q45 18" rims for sale in the Infiniti Parts section you might have a look at.

Thanks for the input my brother,I was looking at the 07 m45 sport rims but saw the 50 offset and it kept me away cuz I like the wheels to be flush with the fender lips or at least poke out a bit.Now the G37 rims ,u saying cuz they come off a lighter car then the q45 they wont be a good choice.I thought all stock sport rims where made with the strongest lightest alloys and where made to outpreform Regular stock rims as far as load cap and all that! Cuz I don't wanna buy these rims and the frost pothole I hit they can handle it especially at there price tag the guy selling them to me is looking foward to 1200 I was gonna offer 1000!!!

I put the G35 6-spoke wheels on my Q45 a couple weeks ago & I've hit a few Jersey potholes REAL hard...so far so good!

I hear you, I will post up the pics of my rims here this weekend. I can tell you the offset is way off, I had to buy like 22mm spacers (or was it 28) to make them fit, but they look awesome pushed out that far.

I wil post up on this thread, I never get any rubbing, bumping or anything, zero! And my car is lowered 2" with Tein springs.

Okay, we've had nothing but huge storms here in the Bay area this weekend, so here is my freshly polished Q in the garage, not a great pic but shows off the rims and tires...hopefully this works as I have not posted a pic in awhile.

Yup, they are 19" M45 rims, I will take more pics shortly and post up. I had to use 22MM spacers which cost me $280 bucks, I used the stock lug nuts to fasten those on and then had to buy new lugs for the spacers. They have worked out perfectly and really make the car look way better. I was very happy that there was no rubbing at all and they don't even kiss over hard bumps. I have the KYB SR Specials and Tein 2" lower springs as well.

While were at it a spotless engine, I just had the car detailed although it was 10 days ago so it is dusty :)

Enjoy, it was a PITA getting those rims to fit but they rock.

No, I didn't buy them on e-bay. I got them from a place in LA that a former memeber who was banished turned me onto. I wouldn't recommend the route necessarily but i love the way it came out. I believe 22mm was the size. Not to say that there are not any good spacer on eBay, but he had a local guy in LA and I gave him the cars offset and the rims offset and they custom made them for me.

Thanks!! My wife has been working on for a few months, it looked much worse a few months ago. I always scratch my head when people park their cars in the driveways due to the garage being completely full, or with just enough room to barely squeeze the car in :).

New Q45 owner here. My 94 has oem wheels with 45mm off set. I am looking at 17" G35 wheels with 30/33 mm offset. Will these work?

Yes. As far as I know all G35/G37 wheels will fit the G50 Q45.
