Did one of you q60 guys order rims yet?
I just ordered some Rotiform QLB's last Friday, and I'm still kind of pondering sizing, leaning towards 19x9.5+25 19x11+45 then run 255/40/19 and 295/35/19, which was the size Vossen had originally recommended. Debating if I can go more aggressive or not.
Apparently I have a week or so to decide on offset, as they can work on the other pieces of the wheel.
Before someone comments on it, yes the wheel design will be a tad annoying to clean, but I'm getting them ceramic pro'd, as well as the car and inside right away, so I'm not worried :-P.

Your wheels reminds me of the new competition package for the M3/4 wheel.

Damn! those do look similar.
I have the AWD (sadly the only thing sold in Canada, couldn't even special order RWD). It actually comes with a 1.1% variance stock, so I bumped it up a tad to 1.9%, which is still no where near the 3% max.
Locked in the specs at Front: 19x10 +24 with 275/35R19 Rear: 19x11 +44 with 295/35/19.

The Q50 has good grip and excellent body control, but it never reacts the same way twice—except that if given full throttle with stability control off, it always lights up one rear tire and does absolutely nothing to stop the one-wheel peel.

Yikes! So the RWD Q50S has no manual transmission, and no limited slip. Does the "S" get a tighter steering? No wait... steer by wire.
It's like upside-down world for what once made Infiniti's mid-sized car such a sweet sport sedan.
Yes, given all that, I'd be wanting the AWD Red Sport too.

What a bummer.
Like yourself, I too wanted a RWD but here in New England, that is impossible to come by. A 2015 RWD Q50 Sport sat at my local dealership for 1.5 years until they converted the poor thing in to a loaner. Heck my previous coupe sat for almost a year until they gave it to me for a steal knowing I was the only one who would actually take it. Sucks shopping for a RWD here.

Threads gone cold, let me revive it. My wheels are on, these are the performance wheel package 19x9 with 255/40/19 Michelin PSS. I had my roof vinyl'd as well. The Tanabe exhaust looks stunning and I also upgrade the shift ****/boot to that of the Q60. I haven't had a chance to take good pics yet but here's a teaser for now. I'm installing my midnight black grille this weekend.

Looks super nice I like the wheels.
I get to drive these all the time since I work at an infiniti dealership, what a difference the turbos make over a G.

My wheels are still on the way. but I got the car tinted and coated.
Ended up going with G Techniq at my dealers recommendation and it seems to work great. Outside, Inside and the Stock Wheels for now, then aftermarket once they come in.
Friend wanted to take a few photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vt4ep0j9j...v-Hd3CzUa?dl=0
how you like the Q @Goonz? Did the different tires make a big difference on traction?
