anyone running m45 wheels?

Is anyone running m45 wheels? I did a search but cant get a good feel for it. Do they need spacers? If not are they sittin in too far.....if you got pics, put them up please.

Thanks.

Friend of mine was running on them for a while... this is the only crappy picture I got... no more cause he removed them and put other wheels on



You will need a spacer if you have the factory Big Brakes (Type S and 6MT manual)

BTW they are a +50mm offset...

ewg302 - since we know they will fit, i would say do the M35/45 wheels!! i think we've all seen one too many TLs with aspec wheels already imo...

I kinda like the way that G35 wheels look on the TL too.

Is this the 17" or 18" version of this wheel? Either way it does not look all that good to me. I think the stock coupe 19" Rays would look good on the TL though.

For some reason the tires look to big and the wheels look to small. To me the flush spoke design just does not seem to fit the TL.

That's because the size of those tires are wrong for the TL. They were 245/45-18. If I were going to use them on the TL, I would've used 245/40-18, since I had a couple of Michelin Pilots Sports in that size laying around. But the tires that were mounted on those rims were 245/45-18. I was just test fitting to see if the offsets would work, since these were +30mm rims.

I have been wanting to do this setup for a while but the spacers issue kinda killed it for me

Put my stock '08 M35 Sport wheels on my wife's TL today. Definitely needs about a 10-15mm spacer which i'll be getting this week. I also need to get some smaller tires for it. Overall, I think it looks pretty good.





To get an idea of fitment...
