I am a NEWBIE and I need help on new wheels for my car. I have a 2000 Se. I was over at the Infiniti dealership looking at the G35's for my friend. I really like the 18'' wheels the G35's come with. Will they fit on a 2000 Maxima? I was asking around and no one knew ...the parts and service guys were gone.

 

they will. there are few guys running them on their 5 gen here on the org. just keep in mind that you won't be able to rotate tires. this is because the rears are wider.

 

Does anyone have any pics they can post of a 5th gen with G35 18'' Wheels??

 

Pablosal has them and they look nice. Look up his sig pic somehow...

It is a pretty good looking wheel. But I would bet they weigh 22-27 lbs. and prolly $500 ea from a dealer unless u can find used on ebay.

Take a look a centerlinewheels.com in the wheel deal section. You can get a 15lb wheel in the wheel deal section for a lot less and they are FORGED.
You will need a 114.3 (4.5) X 5 bolt pattern.

 

if you cant rotate them, whats the solution, unidirectional tires?

 

Here is pablosal's car and a thread about the wheels and his drop.

Jaco, you can rotate them. All the wheels are 18 x 8. The only thing is that the tires that come with the wheels are different. The front tires are 225/45-18 and the rear are 245/45-18 making the rear tires a bit wider. All you have to do is get the same tire for all.

 

How much were they pablosal ??????

 

Ebay
I think Pablosal paid ~$500 for wheels and tires
I paid $700 for wheels and tires with 50 miles on them. I sold the original rubber and put on Nitto555 235/45/18. I can rotate my wheels with no problem.

 

I paid $550 tires and wheels. I got real lucky. You can find them on ebay going for over $1000. Hope you find them. There's only a few of us running these G's. PEACE

 

I think the offset may be slightly off, at least for the 6th gen Max. I think the G25 wheels are 34-35mm and the OEM 6th gen 18's are 40mm.
