Great video. I recently ordered 20 inch x 9 inch wide, American Racing rims with an offset of 35. I was worried they would stick out too much but your video shows those 10.5 and 25 offset rims didn’t stick out that much, and mine would stick out les than those. Thanks
@@austinwill3120 Not going on the track w my vehicle. Not to brag but found these $5k wheels for $1000 brand new on OfferUp. Killer deal. Skeptical of the offset and it was perfect when I dropped it. Living in Chicago so needed the forged strength on these puppies to deal w the pot holes. I don’t have rubber-band tires so that’s a plus. Did my hw on the tire sizes. I’m just satisfied. Looks and closest to oem performance. No camber.
@@austinwill3120 I could do it, but I know it's going to look goofy because I won't have the right tire for the FX. There are people who have done it though, and I have seen them in the Facebook group. I think most people just use the GTR wheels staggered on the FX. Then, quite popular as well is running 4 rear wheels for people that want aggressive stance. I don't know of anyone that has done this, but running a set of all front wheels will keep you close to factory specs, while dropping down to 20s for comfort and more tire choices.
Man, I've been known to do crazy things like taking off the wheels I am running on my own car to sell to my RUclips people. As I mentioned earlier, reach out to me by email and we can discuss - edbwoy@gmail.com
Great video. What's strange to me is that some sites say that the minimum width tyre that can be used on a 9" wide rim is a 255, and the standard fitment is 245 on cars with these sport wheels. The particular brand of tyre on my M37S looks way too narrow for the rim and the rim sticks out beyond the side of the tyre. It looks bad and the wheel is horribly exposed to curbing. I'm trying to decide whether to go with a 255 or a 265 as replacements.
Late notice, but better late than never, right? I agree that the 245 leaves quite a good portion of the wheel face exposed, but I know that the minimum width recommendation can vary between tire manufacturers. I know of people who have gone to 255 with minimal perception of the change, but there are others who go as wide as 275. The vehicle feels a little different with that large a difference, but to some people, that is desirable.
I like Continental tires, so I usually go by their spec sheet. Depending on a few different factors, they can allow as low as 225 on a 9" wide wheel. Now, will it look good? That is subjective, but hey! The option is there. Working backwards on this, they say the 245/40/20 tire can be mounted on an 8, *8.5 (ideal width)* , 9, or 9.5" wheel.
@@EdBwoyhey Ed been a fan for years was wondering what size tire I should get all around on my OEM M37 Sport 20’s? I want as wide as I can get on stock suspension any ideas? Thx!
You can do it. Like most other modern cars, you want to make sure the *rolling circumference* of the front tire is as close as possible to that of the rear tire
@@EdBwoy They were one of the lightest OEM 19's at the time. Not sure that still stands. At 19lbs vs 26 for the M 19's, they'll help the car feel a lil more agile. Pair that with BC coilovers (at their higher ride height and softer setting) and some Akebonos and you have a much nicer driving car.
@@EdBwoy I was watching your video about lower control arm replacement, that's when I left the message. But it's ok now, I hope I answered my own question. But you can read it and tell me what's your thoughts. I'm replacing the Tie Rod Ends this weekend, hope this fixes the shaking.👍🏾 U still have the aftermarket wheels I like? 😁
It’s my turn to ask for help. Normally our Infiniti’s Q70 right on a 245/40 ZR20. Currently my 2015 Infiniti Q70L RWD 3.7L is riding on a set of 255/40 ZR20(101Y) XL BSW Michelin pilot sport all season 4 with OEM suspension with a static fitment so I can rotate them. Has anybody installed a bigger size without having rubbing issues? Or am I already maxing out the width? Keep in mind that I am not planning to lower my suspension or installing any coil overs at this moment. My Q70L is my daily driver and use it for ride share. I just want to give my OEM 20 inch wheels a little more sidewall protection. Any thoughts? Please don’t give me any smart ass answers. I’m looking for real technical advice. What’s the next size tire I can use without having any issues keep in mind I will keep using Michelin.
Did you ever find an answer to this? I need tyres for my M37 and hate the stretched look of the standard 245's. Plus it leaves the rims horribly exposed to curbing and I want to mitigate that. Are your sidewalls vertical / square using a 255? Thanks.
My M37 has the non-sport 18's and I have been looking for OEM alternatives, this video helps a lot so thank you.
You're most welcome, glad I could offer some insight. If you're in a position to do so, please share with us what you ended up going with
Excellent video. Ed u a legend

Thank you, glad I could help. If you can, share the final product once you have them installed
Test fit a rear GTR wheel on the FX50. Would like to see how that looks and could be a lighter wheel option too.
I have 10.5” wide 22” rims on 305 lexani tires. Probably the best fit for the FX or qx70 cars with a 38 offset.
@@rommelbuena998 That defeats the purpose of finding a lighter wheel. But if all you want is the look, glad you enjoy it.

I really like the 295. 😮💨
My q50 has 20x10 in the front and 20x10.5 in the back and it fits perfectly
Great video. Would you consider making a video with the M45 wheels?
I made another video with these wheels on an M45. ruclips.net/video/wDaDCAzJ5lc/видео.html
Will 22's fit without mods?
Will 285 fit the front of the M56S? No rub or anything? Stock rim for ref
Great video by the way..
Thank you
I had 20x11 all around on my m45 255/35 front back 275/35
Hey EB! I have a 19 Q70L Luxe 3.7 . I would like to know if i can use regular or sports rotors? Thank You in advance bro!
Those bronze looking ones are what I’m looking for

I can vouch for the tight clearance with the FX50 21's....
What tire size did you use?
Can you stagger rims on the M37s with 4was? Or will it damage the 4 wheel active steering?
You can do it. Like most other modern cars, you want to make sure the *rolling circumference* of the front tire is as close as possible to that of the rear tire
@@EdBwoy 4sho that’s what I thought I just wanted to make sure I didn’t ruin the system. Appreciate it
Is it heavy on transmission when upgrading size of the rims
No, it should not
will 285's fit 20x10??
Yes.

Personally I think 10.5j +25mm square is the best for this car. Gives it an aggressive look.
Are you currently riding on that spec of wheel by chance? And what kind of suspension mods do you have?
@@EdBwoy Running 4 rear GTR r35 wheels. I have RS-R Best-i coilover suspension.
I'm looking for the G35 Rays Forged 19"s. I wonder how those will look on my M35....
I don't know if those pictures are still active, but back in the day I saw some Ms with G35 wheels in the forum

Hey ! Do you happen to have any aero kits for the m35? The sport front lip, skirts or rear bumper lip?
That stuff is unobtanium these days 😔
Sorry I don't have any available at this time

Yes, I do offer most of them for sale.
Which ones are you interested in?
Ps! The car came with sports wheels.
