Wheels stick out
Hey guys i have 18in g35 infinity wheels and the front wheels only** not the back wheels poke out almost as if i have spacers but i dont... This is keeping me from lowering cause they stick out a lot and ive seen other 4th gens with the same wheels that dont do this... I dont have spacers but i have after market drilled and slotted rotors that possibly are thicker than stock can this be my issue ? Or something else any help is apriciated thanks guys

No not staggered, and it looks the same if i swap fronts to back and backs to front the front wheels stick out and the backs dont. I will post a pick when im home later on

back

When you lower the car the wheels come in a bit. My experience with G/Z wheels is they rub upfront if you run anything larger than a 235, The rear fenders MUST be rolled otherwise that sharp fender will chew your tires up fast.

sure seems that way to me. did he have a lot of negative front camber? you drop the car and the top of the front wheels are going to camber in a bit. they won't stay vertical.

I have G35c rims on my Max and they fit great. I only rolled my fenders for peace of mind, didn't really have to though.

based on what I am reading and seeing it seems that way. Measure how far they sick out and then pull your rotors and measure the rotor hub depth and thickness. Ill bet your tire measurement and the difference in factory vs your rotor thickness are a close value. Although they seem to be sticking out quite a bit, you are positive the offset is the same for all 4?

It can't be the rotor(s) guys...Think about it...
I have a feeling the wheels are really staggered. Have you confirmed the offsets? They're stamped on the inside of one of the legs.

Okay so im thinking possibly my rotors could be causing this ?? The outer part of the rotor the part the part the wheel touches on the oe maxima rotors is 280mm and the rotors i have the outer diameter is 295.5mm can this be my cause??

How thick is the center section of the rotor- the part where the wheel studs go through? factory rotor thickness is roughly 1/4" there. to cause this problem, those aftermarket rotors would have to be an inch thick there, and I guarantee you they are not.

Rotors will not do this, they sit flush with the hub, it they were too wide for car, they would hit brackets among other things...Need to do more homework on your wheels, seems like just a fitment issue. show full pics of the wheels front and back, with numbers...

PLEASE listen to the multiple requests you've gotten to LOOK and VERIFY and give PICS of said wheels. Wheel info / specs / tire size also.
Also something to consider...the rears in the 4th gen are about 10mm further "inward" than the fronts... so the disparity could be somewhat attributable to that fact.

C - Positions the braking surface area properly between the pads on the caliper.
You have the incorrect wheel offset, (or a spacer your not seeing) that's what's throwing them out, nothing else.

I've seen an offset number stamped/molded in the inside of my Infiniti/Maxima wheels (on a spoke) to show the wheel width and offset. For example I have some Infiniti wheels that are 18/7.5/35 (for 35 MM Offset)
Can you show the numbers from inside the wheel?

If you lower it, the wheel should move inward clearing the fender.
