I know this thread is old but I have a '10 g37x with the stock 17's.. was going to buy g35 19" rims off of a 2005.

In the front its 225/40 r19 with 8" rim. Rear is 245/40 r19 with a 8.5" wide rim.

These should work right?

Diameter is 662.6 front and 678.6 rear

Also, anyone know what gorilla wheel locks to get? I thought it was 71621N but getting conflicting info and can't seem to find it on the forums

If it is indeed a 245/40 front they won't work on AWD, it would need to be a 225/45 to go with the 245/40 rear, and even that is a bit much as the rear tire is .96% smaller and since the rears wear faster they will be over 1% in time and this can cause AWD issues.

For those wheels a 225/45 front 255/40 rear will be about .22% larger in back which is about the best you can do.

Also the locks need to be a mag-style with the integrated washers, not sure if gorilla makes those type locks, most of their sets are the typical tapered seat lug nuts.

Thanks for the reply. What if I were to change all the tires to 245 40? Seeing a set of four really cheap here locally on Craigslist

I mis-typed, it was 225/40, not 245/40 in the first part of my reply.
That said, you can use 245/40s all around, many have done it, and for AWD it will work well.

When buying used tires be SURE to check the date codes stamped on the sidewalls, you'd be surprised how nice some very old tires can look

Thanks. One last question.. I bought the tires and he said 3 of them have sensors that worked with his g35. Do you know if one sensor from my g37 will work with these?

The sensors have only a few yrs range of models that will work, I doubt they will co-exist w/ your G37 sensor.

Looking to pick up new wheels and tires for my 2013 G37S Sedan in Malbec Black. I want to go with gloss black wheels. A spot has 10 spoke and 15 spoke OEM 19" wheels in black. Both sets are staggered. He's willing to do $1300 for the 10 spoke and $1600 for the 15 spoke. This seems way too high even though they look great refinished. What do you guys think? Also would you go 10 spoke or 15 spoke? I think the 10 spoke look better with the g37 sedan.

Both look great on the sedan, but TBH I'm not sure how well gloss black will flow with the Malbec paint. Something like black chrome or polished silver may be better. But if you have your heart set on gloss black, you can't go wrong with either of those choices. You are right, those prices are pretty high even if they are newly refinished. Try and talk him down, they are not worth that much without tires.

I'm pretty much over chrome but I'm gonna google and see exactly what black chrome looks like. I don't really wanna pay anything to upgrade to 19s if I'm gonna stay with polished silver. I feel that's too close to what i have now. Do you think hyper grey or matte black works.

As you know the Malbec black just looks black at nighttime and that's why I felt gloss black would go well. I actually like the 10 spoke better for the sedan. The 15 spoke seem a bit too busy. The guy offered 2150 installed for the 15 spoke wheels with tires that are almost brand new. I'm guessing he will come in around 1700 or 1800 for the 10 spoke with tires. Both of these prices are just too much for used wheels even though he did great job refinishing.

The 10 spokes are more desirable, but they'll both look/work great.

I paid significantly less for 15 spoke wheels in like new condition.

ptaylor78

What's a good deal for either set? I prefer the 10 spoke. If I get him down to 1400 or 1500 with tires installed, is that a good deal? He didn't seem pressed to go much lower even when i offered cash.

The tires are stock potenzas. 225/45 and 245/40. I'm assuming we can just install with no need for modifications or additional purchases, right?

The OE tires kinda suck. How many miles on them?

The coupe wheels are big enough to mount 245/40 and 275/35 on. I wouldn't pay much of a premium for used OE Bridgestones.

If those are powdercoated w/ no blemishes that would be a good deal w/ tires, are you planning to swap your TPMS to the new set?

Being a good deal depends on the tire condition, if they're basically new take-offs that would be good, but like Lego mentioned, the deal isn't great if the tires are more than about a third worn. The OEM Bridgestones tend to be gone around 20k or less miles.

ptaylor78

He said tire nips still on so almost brand new and less than 100 miles. Would Michelin pilot sports be better tires to go with if I only buy the wheels?

ptaylor78

I'll find out if they are powder coated. From the pics looks like no blemishes. What's recommend with regards to TPMS? The price he is giving me is for all installed. So you think his 2150 estimate for 15 spoke and maybe 1700-1800 for 10 spoke is a good deal?
