Luff m1

Hey guys, I have another wheel fitment question for ya.
I have a 2012 g37s in moonlight white.

I am getting a smokin deal on some luff m1s. $400
They are 20 x 8.5 35mm front
20 x 10.5 42mm rear

Also, the guy is throwin in some 15 mm spacers.
So question is will they fit, how will they fit, and do I need to use the spacers to clear bbk?

Gonna powder coat black, and the lip color match moonlight white, will be sweet.
Thanks a ton guys. Car is coming together nicely, done r2s intakes, blackout grille, emblems, white front emblem, black rear valence, smoked tails, Cusco bar all in about a month. Next I need put on my hid fogs with day time halos. Pics soon.
Thanks

Do you have a coupe or sedan?
Only pics I've seen of these wheels were on German makes so need to verify that they're 5x114.4 bolt pattern.
Should fit OK on a sedan w/ a stretched tire mount, coupe may need small spacers to flush up in back and bigger ones up front.
Need to verify if they'll clear your big Akebono brakes. Here's a front template you can send to the seller to verify fit.

Luff m1

Sorry forgot to say I'm in a coupe. Also bolt is 5x114 so we good there. It comes with 15mm spacers as well, so sounds like will be decently flush in rear and semi close in front huh? I don't have to have hella flush like some, just close is fine for me. I can't beat the price either. $400 is cheap. When new they were like $1100-1400 I think. They are barely used too. Just too bad luff is outta business I think. So hard to replace if dent one.

Will prolly drop on eibach pros soon too. How do u think the gap will be on stock? Also, do u think I will need to invest in camber kit w toe bolts etc. I know it will save me some tire wear, but wondering how necessary it is for this setup?



But will do until I can afford my work vs-xx I really want.

Thanks again

If you're planning on keeping the G long term I'd invest in the camber/toe kit for sure, at least the rear for starters.
I'd run 235/35/20 F 275/30/20 R or 245/35/20 F 285/30/20 rear. Those 15mm spacers will come in handy in front I'm thinking.
And don't forget to verify brake clearance.

Is the "+22 flush all around" rule of thumb applicable for X sedan also?

I wish I could fit +22 all around on my S coupe... Pokes a bit much for my liking


( I assume... I didn't buy the +22 volk GTC 9.5/10.5 because I don't want to replace tires every 5,000 miles)












UGH So close to making them work! Why couldn't they be +32 or 10" wide!

255/40/19 w/ 275/35/19 will result in front to rear variance of about 1.7%, this is OK for RWD and since the speed sensor is at the rear axle your speedometer will be close. You might search a bit online for the tires you want in a 245 though, maybe you'll get lucky
Another option would be to run 235/40/19 fronts if they have those on sale too, the 235/275 set is only 0.67% off

I have a 2012 G37x sedan. I'm using my stock 17's with snows. So I'm looking to get some summer wheels. Someone is selling the M45 Sport 19's locally. I know the bolt pattern will work but will I need to run spacers?

The tires currently installed on the M45 rims are 245/40/19.

Thanks

Here's a good thread on the topic~
19" M45 Wheels Okay on G37X? : G35 and G37 Suspension, Brakes, Wheels and Tires
You'll probably want 15mm spacers to get the offset at +35 while running the 245s, should flush them up nicely. I'd get them first then decide exactly how much spacing you want though. Nice looking wheels for the G sedan IMO, classy but still w/ a sport look and a nice gunmetal shade.

Thanks for the help. Where is a good place to get spacers?

B2Autodesigns is a site vendor and their house brand hubcentric spacers get good reviews. Ask for Charles & mention the site for nice prices.
H&R and Ichiba also make bolt-on spacers that are decent.
