The OFFICIAL "I have a wheel offset / tire fitment question!" thread
#2401
Per the Enkei Website Size chart, looks like the 18x9.5 5x114.3 only come in the following offsets; 15 and 35.
The most basic square setup with these Enkei's is 18x8.5 35 offset. I think several guys did over on that 18" wheel thread squared with 245/45 tires. Those are basically the wheels made for Infiniti G37's already so really a stock setup except your bumping the width in front by an inch. .
One fitment guy told me I can run the 18x9.5 square but need to stretch a 245 tire over it but 255 tires would be too much in front.
A few other options I'm considering:

- Staggered Enkei Raijin with fronts 18x8.5 35 offset 245/45 tire and rear 18x9.5 35 offset 255/45
- Squared 18x9 - there's a few lightweight options of these in Enkei or O.Z. and the offsets will work in square setup. I'd go with 245/45 on these.

Checking https://www.wheel-size.com/size/infiniti/g/2005/ only 18x8 it lists has a +47 offset, do you have a pic or link to the wheels?

Summer wheels
Hello all. Well summer tire season is fast approaching. I am driving a 2013 G37X sedan. No big brake kit, but I would like to keep the option available, if possible. My 17's are fine for winter and are wrapped in Blizzaks. I know the 17's will have to down the road, if I want a BBK.
I have zero interest in 20" or not much in 19", although never say never. I am looking at 18" for lower unsprung weight, better ride quality, cheaper rims, and cheaper tires. I have company up in Canada offering me what looks like a nice mesh wheel. According to him, they are SUPERSPEED RF03 RR and are 18 X 8.5 + 35 and weigh only 18.5lbs. There is also a 18 X 9.5 available. Any thoughts on fit or the company? The deal sound awesome to me! I am thinking it would fill the wheel wells nicely without poking or squishing anything. I want a square set-up.

And I do want to do coilovers in 18 to 24 months but I would never drop more than an inch.
Thank you very much for any input!

PS: For bonus points, what tire would you recommend? He is recommending:
Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ / ContinentalExtreme contact DWS06 / Pirelli Pzero All season plus

Shane,
Those are a nice looking wheel, similar to the SSR GTV02 here~

I run Wedsports in that 18x9.5 +38 on 245/45/18 all around and there's a bit more room to go 255/45 if you want, I went 285/40 in back so there's even more room back there.
Here's my fit on 245s all around and the 245/285 setup on the same wheels. This is w/ camber at -1.0 so if you have a bit more camber you'll have more room too!

You should have adequate BBK clearance w/ the 9.5" wheels, but still should confirm w/ vendor on that.

Thanks for the reply! Your wheels are really bulging out of the wheelwells. I am thinking the 18 X 8.5 with a +35 offset would be perfect for me. So, go with 245/45/18? Any input on the brand of tires or is it just a personal choice?
So, will the wheels look different because because the rear wheel wells are bigger/deeper and therefore the rear wheels will look further in?

Hey all.. I am sure I am the 324 person to ask in this thread.. but looking to add some summer wheels and tires to my blue 2013 G37X. Want is the recommended 20" wheel and tire setup that looks best without a suspension drop? I know the drop makes a huge difference but not sure I want to do that. Thanks!

hello all,
I just picked up some Enkei ty-5s, with these specs: 18x9.5 5x114.3 +35offset
I have a g37xs coupe dropped on swift springs, can someone recommend what size tires would work the best for these wheels?
I saw from a previous post, someone else with an X and swift springs, using 245/45/18 tires - but they seem stretched to me.
Will going from 18s from the stock 19s mess with the odometer much?
thank you in advance!
