x coupe with 19 inch rims

I replaced stock 09 X coupe rims with 19 inch OZ & 245-40/19 tires. Not sure about tire pressure, recomended for stock x tires seems too low. What would you suggest for this setup? BTW car looks much better with 19 and wider tires, not sure why Infiniti initially got cheap on x coupe.

I hope Infiniti will fix this on next years x coupe. I have my fingers crossed that it gets the 19's.

I would also love to see pics though.

My '09 G37S Vert came with 19" rims/tires.
Recommended pressure for all 4 wheels is 33 PSIG
I don't know where you'll be driving but if you plan on also buying winter tires order them early. There's always a shortage of 19" snow tire.

It is much better look on 19 even without lowering body, I wouldn't suggest bigger than 40mm in height. 35mm might be danger for damage on NY roads

I sent you PM with links, nothing special and not vossen's . However I calculated cost of other suggested here upgrades and for this money I would better get new car (335 coupe). For now it is fine.

18? That is because you are looking on 19 while driving near to S . But they are really great rims, just need better/wider tires than stock. That is all.
Remember, bigger rims more wight to you car and worse gas mil's. Look at real sport cars while some racing, you will not find many with vossen's and 20-22 inch

It's just that 18s don't fill our big wheel wells. Same reason 17s look even worse--like an econocar.

Mechanically I feel like AWD better option since GTR also same AWD and engine is same as S. Look is very subjective thing. Yes, not sure why Infiniti got cheapo on X

You could use 235/50 -18 fine, I did.
