Hi all,I currently have a 2001 325i and I am looking to upgrade to a G35 coupe (03-06ish). I have snow tires for my BMW and I can't figure out if they will fit on a G35. Tire rack reccomends 17"'s and mine are 16"s.

Does anyone know if this will be an issue? I would hate to drop an extra grand on more tires.

thanks!

the bolt pattern for bmw's are 5x120, infiniti's are 5x114.3

so the rims will not work. As for the tires,as long as its a 16 in rim, I'm pretty sure you can use them. Just as long as the tire size isn't dramatically different.

Welcome to NICO. I think you are out of luck with the tires fitting the G. The good news is that Mustang wheels fit the G and they are petty cheap. Just get the right size etc.

Your question about the tires if they'll fit...no they won't fit as they're the wrong diameter. Wheels, if that's what you're talking about won't feet either for the reasons above. If you're going to upgrade to a G, go with 05 and later.
