do any of guys know if the infiniti fx35 18" rims fit our 3rd gens? reason i ask is because im about to get a set for $250 locally and i need to know if they fit before i buy them.

 

Same bolt pattern. And Murano rims fit 3rd gens too,so there shouldn't be any problems. They look nice, and that's a hell of a deal, but they look like boat anchors to me.

 

idk, but they'd look sick...
35mm offset, correct?
(5x114mm bolt pattern, so they'll bolt on...)
edit: grr... beat me...

 

well, i've seen them on a 4th gen and they look sick as hell. so now im hopefully going to pick them up tomorrow.

 

POST THEM PICS TOMORROW! And weigh em, for s***'s and giggles.

 

i'll post pics if i get them hopefully. where in miami are you?

 

weigh them if you can pick them up to put them on the scale......

 

Specifically, I'm in Hialeah.

 

the thing is that i should be able to pick them up tonight not during the day. the only place i would be able to use a scale is at a publix supermarket. it would be weird to weigh a rim at a supermarket but it seems i don't have a choice or any other way.

 

weren't you living somewhere else?

 

I'm sure they'll fit/look better on teh 3rd gen ne ways..

 

i think ive seen the FX35's on a 5.5 gen up here in washington look nice but i bet they weigh hella alot. then again this 5.5 sprays nitroos so it prolly doesnt matter to him lolz.

 

are these the rims your talking about???

 

Nope, always have been in Hialeah.

 

well, i just got them fellas:

 

they do look similar but i don't think those are the FX35 rims?

 

have you even been to the SFMG meets up in Markham Park? how come i have never seen you?

 

actually they are 40mm offset.

 

i beleave they are the fx45 rims because this is a local maxima tuner i hang with at meets and if im not mistaken he said they are the fx rims

if u want i can go read his mods list on nwmaximas.com and see what rims they are exactly and settle the debate about the rims in that pic lol.

 

and i quote from his words on his mods list"YA THERE HEAVY *** 20'S FROM A FX45 "

 

Nope, never been.

 

ahh urs has 7 spokes on them and his has 8 spokes on them.

 

Standard on the FX45, optional on the FX35. Guy up the street from me got His and Hers black and burnt orange FX35s with the 20s.

GRNMAXDMON: Interested in seeing how they look on the car. Less interested on how much they weigh. Sounds like a good buy either way and its not like you should have a problem reselling them if you don't like them.

 

exactly, FX45 not FX35. i have the FX35 18x8 not the 20's that come on the FX45. Nax has the 20's on his black 4th gen. here is a pic of his car:

 

Those look sweet, but definitely boat anchors.

 

ok, so what size tires can i use?

 

 

The ironic thing is the wheels are the good looking part of that picture.

 

they are the best looking part of the car, but I still don't like them either.

 

seems like 235/40-18 or 235/45-18 might fit best, and be closest to stock height. its almost an inch wider, so check to see if you have that much clearance
(im not a tire guy, just from what i could find...)

 

im thinking ben is right but i think the first tire size would be more accurate because u have to keep in mind u have to in the end still have the same total height as what the stocks rims of the maxima are. Or else you will be having to rotate bigger rims with more power required to rotate them compaired to the factory height.i think at 235/40/18 it might already be pushing it enough.

 

245/40/18 Would probably be optimal for the best mix of steering response and cornering ability/performance.

 

the power required to rotate them is a function of weight primarily with some rolling resistance mixed in.

 

you also have to take into account the area needing to be rotated too

 

so what tire size can i finally use?

 

18x8 40mm offset? Should work if you use something like a 235-45-18. I ran 245-40-18s on 30mm offsets. That was a tad too wide for the front/back.

I don't think you will need spacers from what I remember. 1cm = 0.4" inboard. I think there was plenty of room for tire w/ my 30mm offsets.

 

i've had guys at work tell me 225/40 or 225/45. is that another size i can use or am i better off with the size you specified?

 

well, here you go guys, i finally got the rims on after trying to get new tires for them. enjoy!

 

wow.



yeah, wow.

 

Looks pretty damn good grnmaxdmon!
