'04 TL with G37s wheels & tires, sizes.
#41
Why would anyone install a 225 on the front of the TL when the minimum width should be 235, and especially since it's a FWD vehicle with almost 70% of the weight on the front wheels/tires? Maybe someone could explain the thought process.
Also with the 225/35 and the 245/35, the rear tires will be over 1/2" taller, and that in itself would look rediculous.
Rethink the decision.

Hey Guys,
Looking through all these threads I picked up a set of wheels and was wondering what type of lug nuts you guys used to mount G37 wheels to the 3G. It looks like it takes a 12x1.5 Mag style Lug, with 21mm width shank. I have been looking everywhere but no luck. Just wondering what you guys used???

i think they are using the g37's lugs.....

so if a tapered (lugcentric?) lug is used, would we still need hub centric rings to align the wheels properly? reason i asked is ive been searching night and day for 64.1 ID to 66.1 OD rings and no one seems to have it. e.g. ebay, discount tire, 1010, autozone, advance auto, online...

Here's what you need, tires are just suggested sizes, whatever brand, do what you want:
(2) 245/35 - 19 Nankang NSII - Rear
(2) 235/35 - 19 Nankang NSII - Front
(2) 5mm 'Akata' (ebay brand) 5x114.3/64.1 Bore spacers - Front
(2) 3mm 'Akata' 5x114.3/64.1 Bore spacers - Rear
(20) Mr. Lugnut 'Lug Centric' Nuts, 13/16" Drive M12 x 1.50, Special order from Advance, *Will edit with part number later
I think that's it, I have hub centric rings, haven't used them yet, rides quite good.
Other than that no problems.
I have a set of the hub centric ring if anyone wants to buy them.

245mm x .35 = 85.75mm x 2 = 171.5mm / 25.4mm (1 inch) = 6.75" + 19" wheel = 25.75" OD
225mm x .35 = 78.75mm x 2 = 157.5 mm / 25.4mm = 6.2" + 19" wheel = 25.20" OD
Hence, the 245 would be .55" taller than the 225. Enough to be noticeable to a discerning eye. This is why BMW, Audi, Infiniti or any performance oriented RWD manufacturer will often run a 35 series on the front and a 30 series on the rear to keep them very close in overall diameter, or say 40's on the fronts and 35's on the rears. It's the only way to keep staggered setups from looking goofy.

Tire Question
Guys,
Just had a quick question on tires for these exact G37S stock wheels.
I plan on having about the same drop height as H&R sport springs. So about 1.5" drop.
Can I run these tires sizes?
235/35/19 for the fronts
245/40/19 for the rears
I know the rear will sit a tiny bit higher but I don't think that will bother me..Am I at a disadvantage here?

woot!!! them things look legit....powder coat those rims and you got yourself an ill TL
here is my tl 04 converted (mostly) to type s
is running on stock shock with H&R sport sprint. The drop is mostly perfect for street driving. i would really like to install the koni yellow to drop 1/2" more but new york streets are to harsh. i might install it next summer if i still have the car.
I hated the drop while running stock g37s tires. now that i replace the tires with a all-around 245-35-19.
