Im waiting delivery on my wheels but my girlfriend wants to use them b4 me for like 6 months on her G35 coupe
Both our cars are stock and not planning to drop. What tire size would you guys recommend to fit both our vehicles? I did some searching and most people here run 245/35/19 but i was wondering if i could get like a 255/40/19 to fill the wheel gap since im not dropping my car and improving comfort at the same time. What are your thoughts? Do you think i would rub? I dont wanna spend 800 dollars for tires and have rubbing issues.
Is there anyone with a G35c that knows if my girl will have any problems running this setup at stock height?

go w/ 245/35/19. 255/40/19 will cause yoru diameter difference (compared to stock) to be too big. plus your odometer will read slower than what you're actually doing.

Tire Size Calculator

Also, i think the offset of the wheels might not fit the coupe. If she had a g35 sedan, it would work.

Can anyone confirm this?

Laxplaya11385

my bad, i didnt' see the +35 offset. I think +35 will work fine w/ the G35c. It was the +45 that i think wouldn't work.

If you are going to run them on both cars you should get them staggered. 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear and run a 245/35/19 front and a 275/30/19 rear. They should fit the G no problem also. Those rims are made for a car with BBK up front and rear wheel drive cars (wider in the rear). The 10.5 Hiro should fit the rear of the G but will not fit the TL so you are limited to 9.5 in the rear if you want to use them on both.

9.5 Front and 10.5 Rear on 350Z which is same as G35.

They'll fit the G35C, but tuck a little. Perfect for the G35 sedan though.

I would recommend reading g35driver.com for what fits best correctly.

I know on the G35 Sedan you can fit a 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 max on it with a 38mm offset. Anything bigger will rub.

pimpin-tl

This was my G35 when I had the sizes above but with 35mm offsets. I had to bend the lips in the rear.

Found this just now:

thing is i already bought the wheels and they are 8.5 +35 offset all around. I thought running staggered on a TL was not good and might rub if the rear wheels are too wide. Should i sell 2 and replace for the 9.5s?

limited

staggered wheels on a FWD is "just decoration" (lil sis)...I personally think it's pretty dumb on a FWD, if you wanted that look, you should of gotten a RWD car...

desper

if you want to fill the wells a little more you could go 245/40/19 instead or 45 series i use 35 series b/c ny car is dropped

So i should be fine with 245/40/19 all around in my TL and in the G35c?

gomezine

that g35 looks dope. i like the wheels. i've always been a fan of mesh wheels. i'm thinking about getting some 20" privats.

javamanbill

Both the G35 and 350 look hot. G35 clearly had a nice wax job on it. Hey Pimpin...did you get rid of that G35 because damn...that is a nice looking car and I bet those wheels cost a pretty penny?

pimpin-tl

Actually those wheels were only about $250 each.

Yea I sold the car for the TL.

limited

^hows the arm? Hope it's all good now. I remember you from the G35 forums...

pimpin-tl

It's there, that rotator cuff never heals. So I just have to be careful.

I have these wheels on my TL 8.5 front and 9.5 rear and they fit mint. I went back and forth with different wheel companies even axis told me they test fitted them and they couldnt do staggered on the TL. Needless to say I have them on my car no prob and they look great. The TL may be front wheel drive but the body was not designed like a front wheel drive car. The lines follow just like all the other sport luxury sedans that are RWD and having the wider rim in the back look 10x better than not. I know some people are like "staggered rims are for RWD only" bottom line is I dont care I want my car to look the best it can and if that means putting a wider rim on the back of a FWD car so be it. The whole reason for wider wheels on the back of RWD cars is for traction. All these people stating staggered is for RWD only hardly ever have enough power to need bigger wheels and tires so it is just a look for them also. Just my opinion. Dont get me wrong I am not condoning putting 10 inch wide rims on the rear of a civic but the TL looks much better staggered.

Where did you see them so cheap? The best price i could find was 340 each. If its only 250 each i would consider getting 2 of the widers ones.

mn2trance

^ I think he was referring to the rims on his G35 sedan that was for $250 each. And $340 is $40 cheaper for 19 x 8.5 than what Axis is advertising on their website. I need to get another one to replace one of my rims that has been bent again. And I have this same set up on my car in Anthracite.

looks like someone's getting their silver parts paint matched (or possibly chromed out)

06WDPTL...what is you exhaust setup?

06WDPTL

iTrader: (1)

Parts are being black chromed to match TL-S tails. Exhaust is Comptech. Car is very dirty so please excuse it, it has been in the teens here in CT so it is difficult to keep clean.

bigmoetl1

i thought you could not put fwd wheels on a rwd car because of the offsets you have to run please confirm thanks

depends on the cars and the wheels. some will work some wont. these should be fine.

pimpin-tl

Truthfully, I can not remember. I got them from some place online that a g35driver member recommended. It's where he got his from.

pimpin-tl

I like the wheels!

I Love The Hiros!!!!!!

nhousepro

Is this a manual or automatic? Did you need spacers?

shamen74

Picked out the Axis Hiro from a catalog because the wheel shopping was not being helpful. I was seriously worried about paying so much for something I couldnt see, wish I had seen your car here first. It looks great, I got the bright silver and am super happy with them.

Lots of people have commented on them, what an upgrade for the Type -S. I'd post a pic, but have no clue how to do it.

mn2trance

His car is a manual just like mine. And no, you don't need spacers. I got mine in 19 x 8.5 with 35 offset and it cleared my Brembos with no problems.

shamen74, copy the location of the pic, put [ img ] location of pic here [ /img ] (without the spaces), and you should be fine.

PLATTS

I think it looks nice.

Let's see if this gets the Axis Hiro Shots up.



I'll try to get better shots later.

Let me know what you think.

Looks great, would like to see a pic of the side straight on, not at an angle.

I am seriously considering these Axis Hiro in 19s for my TLS. What price are you guys getting? Which vendor? I see that they are selling it at wheelmax.com but I don't know too much about them.
