Hi guys i currently have g35 18"s and i was wondering should i get new 19"s since i can buy them off my friend? The new wheels come with Potenze re
050A rubber 245/40/19 and 225/40/19 Does anyone has them on their maxima yet? Would like to see how they will look. and is there any negative reasons not to get them? Are they heavy? Will it slow me down? And what about the speedometer? will it show correct speed limit? Thanks guys please help me out on this

Post pics if you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I think a 4th gen has them and they look great. let me see if I can find the thread...

no they will not slow you down in any way, they are i belive lighter than the ones you have. I work for Infiniti those are forgged rims with low-pros that are put on sports package or the manual coupe only.They look really good. So you wont lose any speed at all you will gain traction,but carefull on bumps on the road.

 

In the pic forum theres a max with those rims last page i believe..

 

Look here. It will answer your questions.

i live in san fransisco and we have bad roads here. and i'm getting eibach springs and tokiko blue struts, how do you thing the ride quality will be? will it be to roughf? thansk?

 

The ride will definitely be rough, and you should probably spend the money on the adjustable illuminas. They are great struts that will control your eibachs better than the blues. I wouldn't count on the blues lasting very long either with the eibach springs.

 

Yeah, that will be too rough for your ride. Sell them to me!

 

I agree, it will be far to rough.

Better Idea, GIVE them to me.

 

I've got the G 19's on my Max. Front springs are eibach rear is all stock (245/40/19 will rub badly if your dropped). The ride with the eibach's is a bit harsher but not too bad plus I'm still running stock struts. These rims are light weight, forged and sit flush with the fenders front and back. Acceleration is still the same, gas mileage is still the same. If you have a chance to get a set then buy them! Here's a few pics for you:

 

Hope you like the pictures! Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

I have eibachs and blues and the ride is anything but rough. All of my friends have some kind of aftermarket suspension...h and r cup kit for one and the other is bilsteins. My suspension is lightyears more comfortable. Maybe some of the org members need a reality check as to what is a good ride and what really sucks. Just my $.02

 

i bet the tires are a fortune for those.

 

dibs on the 18's

 

Yep, $260 US a tire.

 

pm was sent earlier for those. he should have the timestamp.

 

if i will get them will post close up pics

 

1. Yes, they're becoming less and less original........and I want them too.
2. 20 lbs for 19" wheels = not heavy

3. If you check the tire size calculator in the tires/wheels section, it will show you that your speed will not be off by very much. Maybe 2-3 mph.

 

Talyan you getting 19"s?

You selling Omar the 18"s then?

 

Never said the ride would be sh!tty. I love my Eibachs/illuminas....

But the reality check is that the ride on eibachs with 19's will be a lot stiffer than stock suspension riding on 17's.

 

i will tell you guys how it will hadle, keep checking!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey Grant im Hoping to get his new 19's Not his old 18's... LOL

 

245s wont rub!? (with stock springs/struts ) .... whats the widest for 5th Gens .... im expecting my buds '06 G35 19"... so i can just slap em on WITH the tires it already has with no prob??

 

Yup, as long as your not dropped in the back you'll be OK.

 

YES!!! i thought i had to buy tires right away... dont think ill ever drop my car with the potholes here in miami ... maybe just Illuminas ...

 

roll your fenders. Best thing I ever did.
