wheels on my 2009 g37x coupe....

I own a 2009 g37x coupe and I want to change the stock wheels.

The thing is that I want to change them to stock wheels, and I found this picture below.

Are these stock wheels on 2011 g37x coupe? Will they be fitted to my coupe?? How much are they?

I love this kind of wheels because they look like sports wheels!!

p.s. name of the wheels please~

What about gap, with larger wheels on your 09X it will look ugly. You would need to do drop, which is another > $500 including parts. Rims seem from latest Xs.

they are staggered though... couldn't that be an issue on an x? you would probably need two sets of fronts or two sets of rears.

and of coarse... a drop

From: Framingham Ma,
first drop it, The staggered will work on a X( I looking also), Something about the rears can not be more that 3%-5% wider than the front( The tires) something like that. Maybe someone with more info on this will chime in.

I have an 09x coupe and originally I wanted to put the 09s wheels on it but, with the awd system you should stay with the same exact wheel spec all around. I found out that the Infiniti awd system activates based on tire rotation, but is also affected by resistance (which could be caused by tire width or a difference in wheel weight) from any wheel. That means if you were to install a staggered wheel setup, the awd system could activate at inappropriate times. I also recommend buying aftermarket wheels anyway, since you could order them with a more aggressive offset, and they will be much cheeper than the factory wheels.

Offset is more than just a look on a rim, it affects steering, handling, traction, even the service life of suspension parts that almost never break. Suspension components like knuckle assemblies. That should be more than enough reason for you to rethink your prior post.

The whole suspension is designed based upon the wheel offset. Once the suspension engineers decide what kind of wheel bearing & hub assembly they will use, the offset is calculated to spread the load evenly across the wheel bearing/hub assembly. that being said, if the dealership see's aftermarket wheels with big differences in offsets, they wont warranty the work in case there are tie-rods, springs, struts, etc going bad prematurely.

i personally wouldnt put anything but stocks on my car.(and as close to the stock offset as possible)

Nope I'm good.. no rethinking necessary. But thank you for your concerns about my warranty.

Here are my 19-inch powder coated gun metal sport rims on my 2009 G37x Coupe. The tires are the same size on all four rims.

Do you mean the code for my gun metal powder coating? If so, I have that information at home. I am currently traveling. Also, it is an exterior powder that has a semi-gloss finish. There is no clear coat needed. If you want to paint them instead of powder coating them, an automotive finish shop can obtain the paint code from the powder code.

Correct, the code for the gunmetal powder coating...
