G37 sport wheels

[finikM35]

I got a deal for G37 sport rims with Hankook Ventus V12 non staggered so its perfect for my M35x - 1000$ for the package. What do you think? SICK of 18 OEM wheels already.
Its gona look like this.



I was looking for M45 sport rims but no luck some are bent, some are overpriced like crazy

I reckon it's gonna look great. Seems a very good price for wheels + tires. Not a fan of Hankooks, but they are certainly NOT bad tires.

Would they tramline like some cheap tires? I hated that

They look ok BUT get some Sports Rims 19" if you are not in a rush.

I think all tires allow some tramling on our M's - just a matter of degree and frequency. My Infiniti service guy tells me the M's are well-known for tramling at times and there is no fix. I happen to have Michelins and tramling is very rare, but I still get it.
I live in Florida and since we are sea-level, rain comes in heavy downpours and makes huge puddles and roads stay wet and slick. The Hankooks have a lower rating for grip and braking in wet conditions and a higher rating for noise levels. I found nothing that called them 'bad' or 'unsafe', or anything even close to that so I guess it's a matter of personal preference. Our Ms eat tires qickly (if you drive like I do, LOL), so if you aren't completely happy, you can try another brand when they wear down. Michelins and Continentals seem to be the most popular choice among the members here judging from the posts I've read.

Yeah 19 M45 are better looking... Just hard to find for that price with tires.

Thanks Larz, ive got Conti DWS on 18s and they are great

^ I have a set of the M sport wheels...sitting in my garage until I get them refinished. 2 of the 4 wheels have curb rash. Once I get them refinished and if I decide not to put them on my car I will post them for sale. I'm going back and forth

Ok 1 more question! Debating between Vossen vvs085 20x9 and M sport rims. 20 inch tires are much less i can get a set for about 550 all season Kumho or General. 19 inch tires are about 700-800 for decent ones.
if i got 245/35/19 or 245/35/20 since tires are same size then comfort lvl would be the same right? Im just worried about our s*** roads
Vossen 20 vvs085

I dont think you will notice much difference in ride quality between your stock 18s and aftermarket 20s . Btw 19 should be a 40 series tire and 20" 35 series tire. Go for what you feel is a better choice but I can confirm that 20" s rides really good and looks better.

Ok thanks! I had 20inch wheels on G35 and driving on FDR was painful i got rid of them after 1 month even belt pkwy which is ok road felt way too harsh sometimes that was with Nankang tires. On D2 coilovers now 25/20

I know exactly what you are talking about I lived in Ny for 9 years. Its up to you as far as decision goes , now I live in NJ and the roads are only slightly better than Ny and as I switched from 18s to 20s I do not feel any negative difference. As a matter of fact I like the ride quality of 20s better sportier, firmer especially now after the drop. I take it easy on the crappy roads avoiding as much as road imperfections as possible becase after only about 2 weeks of having the wheels on I hit a terrible pothole and damaged only of my wheels. Just have to be careful.

[finikM35]

Another question! Can we run 245/40/20 on our cars? 20x9 ET+35 Is 40 profile too high? Reason is i want to protect the rim and keep some comfort.

I am not sure , but its about the roling diameter. Check out this website and use the tire size calculator , they also have offset calculator. ( dont forget to compare to your stock wheel and tires.) that should give you a better idea.

Thanks! It says not recomended since its 3.88% bigger than stock I really dont want taller tire for extra cushion

[Partysan7]

You are welcome , if I remember corectly a little under 3% is fine. Go with 35 series tire good luck
