Winter Rim Issue on 2006 M35X

[thopkins]

Winter Rim Issue. After endless searching found out that 17" x 7.5" Rims with 114.5 /40 offset fit. Got a set from an older q45 that fit perfect with 225/55/17 winter. Really hard to get steel wheels to fit and 18" winters are an out to lunch price. Nice to have Chromes off for the winter. 225/55/17 not much different 245/45/18 (As checked on tire calculator).Did all of this for $1100 and I'm in Canada. Would appreciate any comments or tips from others who have gone through the same.

I was curious on the same subject and the fountain tire near me had winter tires for the stock 18 inch rims but were asking 1800 dollars for the set which is stupid. But i just drive my trucks in winter so i don't have a problem

The cheapest 17" combo that I found was through Tirerack and was around $1050 delivered. 18" wheels and winter tires were almost $250 more.

All in all, I think that you've done well, because your Infiniti OEM wheels are definitely of higher quality than the cheapest alloys that TR offered.

Got pics?

My dealer got 17" alloy rims with Blizzacks _ no tpms for $2,000 cdn.

I love them...
