Infiniti M35 on 22's

[Marley263]

I'm new to the site, but definitely a big fan. Some of the rides on here have inspired me to do some work to mine. I still have some more work to do, but here's my 2007 Infiniti M35.

Looks nice. You have specs on the wheels?

^To be all chrome those are actually all right... welcome to the forum!!!

[Marley263]

Thanks. They're 3pc GFG Laguna. 22x9 in the front and 22x10.5 in the rear. I'm running a 38 offset in the front and a 42 offset in the rear.

^You must have a spacer in the back...

Looks like you dont have much fender clearance...did you drop also? If so, what kit you rolling on? Looks clean.. Staggered 22". Damnnnn!

[Marley263]

^You must have a spacer in the back...

No Spacers at all. Direct bolt on.

[a.blanco0905]

^Can you please refrain from using the word "damnnnn" it offends me. Thanks.

[a.blanco0905]

No Spacers at all. Direct bolt on.

Then you might have the wrong spec for the wheel... looks very nice tho, I really like them man!!

Thanks. I lowered her with eibach pro kit springs. 1.6" drop in the front and 1" in the rear.

Sorry sir didnt mean to offend anyone.....blanco->
Damnnnn!!! Somebody showing there soft side!! Lol

Since these are 3pc wheels, they don't have the offset stamped in the back of them. The offset was determined after doing some test fits with other wheels. I may be off give or take 2 mm. Thanks

[a.blanco0905]

Lmao... it just remind it me of a recent incident where a guy was complaining about something similar without even knowing the etymology of the word, lol.

Ok I thought so.... I'm on eibach and 22x8.5 42 offset on all four corners.... Staggered 22" wont work with my RAS system of the sport model. (unless I turn it of ofcourse)!

[InfinitiEric]

Thanks! Definately agree about the specs being off, but it looks good anyway.

[a.blanco0905]

^^If you're off, it's not by give or take 2mm... it's probably by about way over an inch (45mm) but it doesnt matter, it looks baller anyways... better to err on the agressive side than on the wimpy side.

I've seen your ride. Looks real tight. Your ride was one of the first Ms I saw with 22's on the Internet. When I saw yours, that just confirmed it for me that 22's can be done. So many have told me that it couldn't.

Thanks man. I appreciate the feedback.

[Marley263]

Here's a rear side shot.

[a.blanco0905]

^Bet!! ...and also some companies dont release the offsets and most companies do, the fact that they're 3 piece is irrelevant tho.

Yea, was running into that when I was doing my research on what wheel to get. Thanks for clarifying.

[06M4.5]

et should be around 48 for a 10.5" wheel.

but you can work on the fenders, Chris posted that he was able to get 12mm (if I read correctly) on his M which has bags now.

you can also get the back of the wheels milled a few mm, I got 5mm milled of my rear wheels when I ordered them. I went from a 38mm to a 43mm on a 10" wheel. I didn't want to have the wheels sticking out pass the fender and I wanted to use the 285/30/20 tire.

[mexillis]

car looks good and at first i thought the rims were asanti's from the way they look. I like the way the rims sit and if i were you wouldnt do anything to them but keep em clean! Now that you have 22"s you are really gona need you some BBK to fill in the gaps.

Thanks. I got asked that a few times already, but they're GFG's. I'm taking your advice, and not doing anything to the wheels and investing in BBK system. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice. I'm fortunate that I didn't have to do any modifications to make the wheels fit. Straight plug and play. Right now I'm running a 285 with a slight stretch in the rear

[mexillis]

Look around for a used BBK or if you dont care buy em from conceptzperformance. I have seen the OEM infiniti G37s calipers on a Black M and they looked good but I think Black calipers with white akebono looks better.

[Marley263]

Had no idea they'd fit. Thanks. I like the way your M looks. The aero kit makes a difference. Tight.

I gave this info as his wheels are sticking out of his fender lip. They don't rub because his tires are stretch.

but they might rub when you have 4 people in the car and hit a nice dip. The worst would be if the the wheel hits the fender lip.

[a.blanco0905]

^Oh ok, I actually think he went for that look.
