Question for changing the wheel!

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

I would consider 18" bec. the ride is not as rough as having an 19" rims. Also, you have more option in choosing tires with the 18" than 19". Did I mention the price of the 18" vs 19" tires? :ohno:

As for brakes, check out Stillen :

Bigger Rims look better... and I'm liking the latest 19" Rims on the newer EX35's.

I too, worry about the choices of Tires for 19's, especially if you live in a 4 Season area.

You could use the 19's for Summer and then the 17's for Winter.

If you upsize your Brake system, then you'd have to make sure your 17's can still fit over them.

I have bought the brake systems from stillen and it may fit the 17's I think.
I decide to change to 19's but the problem is that there is really few options for ex35 with 19's.
And I can't find a really suitable brake caliper for ex35.
19's for summer and 17's for winter is a really good idea.
Can u recommend tires for summer and winter?

Tirerack has several choices for your 19's.

The Infiniti EX35 OEM Tire Size is 245/45-19...

and for your 17's.

The Infiniti EX35 OEM Tire Size is 225/60-17...

I'm a Michelin man... and as soon as my Duncraps wear out, I'll be putting on Michelin Primacy MXV4 on my OEM 18's.

Here's what I bought for Winter use... They are not Michelins, but I got them for a good price and the Tirerack and EX35 Forum reviews on them are really good!
