Coupe or sedan?

Actually someone on here did 350Z wheels and it could have fit. So I wouldn't say G35 coupe wheels would be out of the question.

With a +30 not without fender mods and a skinny tire

Basically what my situation is back in early 05 I bought a New 2004 G35X sedan. I loved it and the coupe even more but I have kids and couldn’t go with the coupe so I wanted the next best thing an AWD sedan with the coupe 18” upgraded wheels.. I went to the dealer to get the coupe rims. When I got there they told me the coupe wheels are different sizes from front to rear or the offsets (I don't understand that .40 offset stuff, it’s alien to me). So the dealer told me if I wanted to have G35 coupe wheels on my AWD X Sedan the very best way is to order 4 of the Front Rims and tires. The four fronts are the same width and size and so forth and are much smaller then the rears and will work well. To make a real long story short I bought four fronts installed them on my G35X and they worked great. I then 6 months later traded my G35X in for a 2005 Acura TL no Nav. Anthracite on Camel. I traded it with out the G35 18” Coupe Wheels. I Loved it. Kept until late 06 traded for FX35 Sport Lease. Lease ended and believe it or not go such an unreal deal on a 2007 Honda Accord EXV6 no Nav I leased that car (it seems like a big step down but not really it may be my favorite other than the 05 TL). My wife drives the Accord and I just bought a pristine 99 Acura TL with Nav. Black on Black. Kind of a neat story behind the car. It was the President of a prestigious local Mass College. The head of maintenance traded it in at a Toyota Dealer for the President as they wanted a Hybrid. The car is perfect. Always garaged, always Acura Dealer serviced, it is so perfect I was amazed. I got a great deal on it also. The college did everything to it. At 75K they did the water pump, timing belt, spark plugs, full 120k tune up. The dealer told them that it was the time that dictated the work not the miles. It now has 80k. New brakes everything it’s actually pretty amazing. All I am doing is having the front end re-painted to remove the stone chips (bumper, front fenders, and hood) and then having the 3M installed. Then also having the Gold Pkg. removed and having the chrome OEM badges installed and I was really hoping my old 18” G35 rims will fit. It is in the body shop and there are some TL rims on eBay I don’t want to miss on if my rim’s don’t fit. After looking on this site I want to do a lot more to it now.Sorry for such a long essay but at least you know where I am coming from. Thanks

Just try them on

as far as i know they are the same size as the 04 maxima 6 bars, and my cousin had them on his 01 TL and it looked sick, like i loved the way it looked but you have to lift the car a little from the back because it will rub, the rims are too wide unless you get smaller tires

TLJack

Is it the same as lowering just get springs to raise the car. Also, now that I know I have a shot at them fitting I am going to just let the eBay auction end and wait until I get the car back from the body shop to see if they fit. A great set of S 17" wheels for a pretty good price is just coming to an end. Thanks for all of the help

Do not lift your car, are you serious?

TLJack

I was just asking because the other gentleman said they may rub. I hope to get it back this week end I will try them on and see if they fit. If they fit that will be sweat. If not I will let you guys no and wait to get feedback from you guys before I do anything to the car.

What grade of Royal Purple should I use can where do I get it. Should I use certain kind of oil or do anything to help the trans last longer now that I know it has no warranty. Thanks

You can buy royal purple most anywhere. I saw it at Wal-Mart.

TLJack

Wow I just went online and checked out that royal purple stuff? Should I used it in my tranny? Will it help make it last long? If I use the oil in my motor what weight should I use, Please? Thanks.

TLJack

I will post pictures when I get to put em on them next week

LOL. You posted a response to your other thread in this one. whatever you do, do not raise the TL to get rims to fit, that is a bad idea and the car will handle like garbage if you do. I'd just get the A-spec rims from a 3rd gen TL and put them on instead of the G35 rims. If the G35 rims fit without issue though just keep em. Might wanna find some blank center caps though. Goodluck with whatever you choose.
Here's a pic of the A-spec rims:

Use the OE recommended weight for your car. You don't need anything different. It's either 5w20 or 5w30.

Thanks those A Spec wheels are great? I was thinking about what to do with the centers? They Infiniti ones are smaller than the Acura Ones? Do you know where I can get some centers? Also, thanks for the grade recomendation. Thanks

mcflyguy24

I don't know do YOU think they are great? Where you thinking about what to do with the centers? Are the Infiniti ones smaller? What's this about centers?

I'm sure you could find some center caps on-line at a wheel dealer or at a parts store. Off the top of my head I don't know cos' I haven't looked.
