tire and wheel fitment

[xerexabante]

hey gang, will 19x8.5 with 245-40-19 from an 06 m45 fit my f50?

[maxnix]

Probably not without spacers. Check the respective offsets.

[widebodyq]

Are you refering to the stock M45 wheels? If so yes it will fit.

Is your F50 lowered?

Isn't the offset on the newer M35's and 45's like 55 or something.

[xerexabante]

no my car is not lowerd. the guy said the offset on the m45 and the q45 is 45mm. what the tire store from what he said is it will fit. now yes i know it will but from reading some posts that the m45 installed to the q45 will sit 10mm towards the inside. he wants $1000. and the tires have 25,000miles on it. i don't think it is a good deal anymore if i need new tires.

[Q45man1]

It will be sunken a little bit and will touch your suspension components. You will need a spacer for sure to fit the 06 M45 19" to your F50. The M45 rims looks good though but for the money, I rather check out the rims from Tirerack and get new rims and tires. I might to the same thing soon.

[xerexabante]

Yeah, I did not call the guy back. I did not think it's a good deal. If it was like the Rays rims I'll go for it. I might pick something better down the road.

IMHO, that's way too much.

Check out our Wheels and Tires classifieds section for some better deals.

[xerexabante]

i was looking. there are good deals on there. just got to be on it. good deaals don't last

Stock M45 Sport wheels from the 2006+ years are likely to have serious fitment problems with a Q45, as far as I am concerned. The offset is much too high, IMHO, so you'd have to use spacers.

Stock OEM wheels from a 2003 or 2004 M45 should fit fine though!

I have 4 new 20" American Racing "Casino" chrome wheels and almost new (approx 700 miles) Sumitomo HTRZ II tires for sale in Phoenix. They were on my '05 Q45 when I bought it.I won't ship them however, so you'd have to drive down here from LV and inspect them, but it's a nice ride in an '02 Q45.

PM me if you're interested.

Will a 5x114.3 fit on my 92 Q? I'm a dunce about this wheel fitment thing. The only thing I know is that 22's are too big for the car.

It will not touch the suspension components. I still have some room with my 18x13's but anyway the q45 wheels are +40 and the m45 wheels are +50. The spacer is not needed but I recomend it since wheels that are too sunken in don't look right.

[Haitian_King]

Do I get an answer?

[xerexabante]

pics please

[Haitian_King]

Guess I don't get an answer then. Will a 19 inch wheel with a 5x114.3 fit on my Q with no hassle?

I don't know a damn thing about wheel fitment. Those numbers mean absolutely nothing to me.

You'll need more info to get an answer

Wheel diameter, width and offsetTire width and aspect ratio.

That should get us "close".

Probably best to start a new thread as well.

[Haitian_King]

ok. I don't know all of that. I'm just asking because of an offer I got to purchase wheels from a NICO member.

zerothread?id=281288

That's the link to the thread that has the wheels and a picture of them. Please help.

[Rex]

I posted asking him to list the offset, but my guess would be that if they're (really) "perfect" for a 350Z/G35, the offset numbers would be too low for most of us.

If the for the fronts are lower than 33, and the rears lower than ~38 it won't be "bolt on". But you might be able to make them work.

19" tires are more $$ than 18's or 20's and the availability of tires with the right load rating is poor.

19"s are not a good idea, unless you have lots of tire $$.

What's your total wheel and tire budget? And what "style" of wheel are you looking for?

[StarPD]

Haitian King, no offense, but you really need to study up on wheel tech and the many issues regarding such. Bolt circle, stud size, hub size, rim width, and rim configuration all enter into it. Wheels and tires are essential safety issues, and cannot be ignored. There are many posts here addressing wheels. You would do well to learn them if you intend to make any wheel/tire fitment changes to avoid creating problems on your Q. Learn what you own car has, then before buying any wheels or tires, find out what their specs are.

It's not just as simple as putting wheels/tires on your car because they came off of another Infiniti product and or/ look good. You certainly don't want to change wheels and tires for looks, then learn the hard way you've actually degraded your ride and handling, or worse, created a safety problem. Every difference has an effect, some good, some bad. Learn wheel/tire tech so you don't go the wrong way with changes, and can safely improve your Q.

At the very least, you need to learn these things so you know what questions to ask, and can provide the necessary info so that others can help you with information as to what will work and what won't, as well as how to work around minor issues.

Pretty sure I said I was a dunce about wheel fitment from the get go.

But what the hey, I'll just have a wheel shop do it. Pardon me for trying to save a few dollars.

[cccpman]

Dont sweat it too much, there are always those who receive help but dont want to give any back out, or rather flame somebody who knows less about one subject then they do. I advise next time he has a problem he spends maybe 4 or so years at a school, then he will know how to solve it!

[Haitian_King]

lol.

Thanks cccpman. Question about your name, are you Russian?

Yes, you did say that.All I said was you should learn about it, not only for now, but for the future.It's not really that complicated. But if you want to get even with me for suggesting that you actually LEARN something, so you can at least give others enough information to help you, by going to a wheel shop, by all means, do so.

No one flamed him for knowing less than he does. I merely suggested he learn at least enough to be able to provide adequate information, so that others CAN help him. "4 or so years at school" is an absurdity. A few minutes on some of the many resources here, like the links to "The Tire Rack" would teach him at least the basics.

[Haitian_King]

Ok dude, let's man up here.

For the record, according to Tirerack, those 5x114 wheels should fit on my Q.

Now, the ones from Tirerack are 5x114. The ones that were being sold in the other thread are 5x114.3. Is the 3/10 a big deal? Or is it negligible?

[96Qowner]

5x144.3 is what Nissan uses, so yes, that's the proper bolt pattern. But that's just one of the parameters. The other biggie is the offset - where the wheel sits in the wheelwell. The center part of the wheel isn't exactly in the middle - it's offfset towards the car or away from it by a different amount for different wheels. There is a range of workable offsets for each wheel width.

So, what you need to know is the width of the wheel, and the offset, in addition to the diameter and the bolt pattern.

Once you know that, we can easily tell you where the wheel will fit in the wheelwell - whether it'll clear the suspension and also the fender.

A 19' wheel will fit, if the width and offset allow it.

[Haitian_King]

I know 22's won't fit without some major modifications. But what about a 20 inch wheel? With an offset of 35mm? Idk. Is there an offset range? What's the spectrum look like?

I'm asking because a friend of mine told me that it's difficult to find tires for odd numbered wheel diameters.

[96Qowner]

Width and offset go together - have to know both. Diameter isn't so much of an issue.

Look at it this way: the center part of an 8 inch wide wheel may be 30 or 35 or 40 mm offset from the center of 4 inches. If the wheel is 8.5 inches, that same offset puts the wheel a quarter (half of the .5) inch farther out. See? To get the same fit from the 8.5, the offset would have to be a quarter inch (about 6 mm) lower.

So, a 20 will fit just fine if the offset is right for the width. In theory, a 26 inch wheel with no tire would fit. The wheel issue is width and offset. Then tire width is the issue.

[Haitian_King]

How do I find offset?

I really want to do 20x8.5 or 9 in the rear and 20x7 or 8 in the front.
