Would the 06' Q45 Sport Wheels for on a Y34?

[Mark Linkous]

Hello,I was messing around on autotrader when I saw a listing for a 06' Q45 sport. I gotta say, the wheels look really good. Anyway, if anyone knows if they will work on a Y34 it would be greatly appreciated.CheersMark***I know they look like the current m45's. Wondered why I liked them so much. Will either work?***

The offset is wrong - see information and note in the Basic Specs sticky.

To use them on the Y34, you would need to use spacers. Some people are okay with spacers, but I think they are evil, add unnecessary rotational weight right at the wheel, and could cause problems down the road with increased wear and tear on the wheel bearings.

But, that is MHO, and your mileage may vary!

Hello All,Szhosain I am with you about spacers. After seeing they were 19's I was afraid it would come down to something like that. I think they would have looked awesome though.As always thank you for the responsesMark

Whoops, I think I made a mistake (sent you an e-mail to let you know)!!! Please do check out the offset on those wheels before discarding them as an option.

If they are 19"x8" or 19"x8.5" 2006 Q Sport wheels, with a 35mm to 38mm offset or so, they may work out just fine for your 2003 M45! I was looking at the 19" 2006 M Sport wheel values when I posted.

Sorry about that!

Really! That would be awesome if the wheels work. I like the idea of switching it up while still retaining an oem look.ThanksMark

They do look outstanding, and have the strength to support our relatively heavy cars. All too often, people tend to get larger diameter wheels for the M and Q's and discover that the rim and material is not designed for 4000 lb cars. Easy to bend and/or cheaper rims!

So, yes, I would recommend going with OEM Infiniti and Nissan wheels whenever possible!
