Hello. New to the site and to owning infiniti. I just leased a 2012 M37 in Dec 2011 and looking to put rims on it. I am trying to decide whether or not to put 20 or 22 inch wheels. From what I have seen if I do 20's then I may need to lower the car. Not sure if I want do that on a lease so was considering doing 22 inch. I am sure this is a question that has come up before. I tried to search site before I posted this but nothing came up. Sorry if this is a repetitive question but any feedback would be appreciated.

I don't think 20" will make it to where you have to lower it, depends on the tire.. 22" doesn't really matter what style you go with they usually look fine although it will lift your car a bit more than the 20" so either way you may still consider lowering it. Springs is a good option you can remove them when the lease is up... :gotme

What color is your car and what color/finish are you planning on going with for your wheels? The stock 20" from the M sport look very nice IMO you can go that route like the ones with 06+ m's go from 18" to sport 19"... Just something to consider...

Even with 22's you'll need a drop. Front gap is too big.
