I currently own a 2014 Infiniti Q60S AWD Coupe and am sourcing and shopping around for some Nismo V1 Wheels. (Looking and comparing prices and availability as I’m from Ontario, Canada).
I’m new to the forum and to Infiniti’s. I tried using the search bar typing Nismo V1 etc but nothing came up that I could find.
Just looking for some friendly advise, pointers and information regarding fitment on a factory setup. At this point and time I’m not looking to lower or bag the car.
I was having a hard time picking a set of rims I like, when I stumbled upon these that I personally just liked the look.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Will they bolt right on, do I need spacers, what’s the widest tire I can go with the AWD and anything you guys think I should know or be aware of.
Even if you guys are better at navigating the forum then me and want to copy and paste a link to a previous thread or threads. I’d be glad to read it and do some more research.
They are defiantly speaking to me lol. I like them a lot. Price tag is defiantly steep and looks like there’s a few options on where to get them. I believe they are staggered.
I’m a complete Noob when it comes to rim and tire set ups.
Don’t want to mess up the car and the AWD. Want a clean nice look without getting into too much or any modification if I can pull it off.
I noticed

Here's about the most aggressive you can go without fender work squared up w/ camber close to spec 20x10.5 +25 on 275/30s
So that would be
20x10.5 Front
20x10.5 Rear
275/30’s all around
+25 Spacers not sure what this means

He’s running Rohana RC7's.
20x10 Front on 245/3520
20x11 Rear on 275/30/20.
Mild stretch on the tires and did have to shave off the rear bumper brackets and roll his front fenders only because my drive height is pretty low being he’s on air ride.

20x10 Front
20x10 Rear
Both on 245/35r20 Square set up
+40 not sure what this means
Then he said +25mm Rear / +15 front Wheel spacers when he gets around to it. Back is really sunk

19x10 +45 front
19x10 +40 rear
255/35/19 all around
*19x10 +40 is a perfect square setup if you're looking to leave enough room not to rub and not to poke out too much*
DO NOT GO HIGHER THAN A +45 in the front if you have a ten inch wide wheel. You will rub on the front spindle or whatever it's called.
Can anyone else chime in on a squared setup and some other options now that some years have past?
You ever see something in picures and was like "they look good", but then you see them in person and wasn't impressed? That's how it was when I saw the Nismo wheels in person. I've seen wheels like the Rc7 in person and they catch your attention more. But to each their own.
The V1 Nismo is tough looking, while still being elegant and OEM. The V2 Nismo wheels look odd at first, but once you see them in person the design pops.
Personally I think those RC7s look uninspired and unremarkable. The kind of wheel every manufacturer has. Some people like them I suppose.
OP, why are you staggering all of your comments with so many line breaks? It's a lot, man. If you tighten things up it will be easier to read.
Spoke with multiple people on Instagram that have G37’s.
Two people got back to me said there running 275/35/19 all the way around (Square Setup). 4 rear Nismo Wheels V1 wheels 19x10.5.
Both also had to do some fender rolling, pulling and cutting bending some things in the wheel wells.
One person just got back to me today saying to avoid cutting things and rolling fender they also did a Square setup all 4 Rear wheels 10.5’s … but 255/35/19 all around.
So far I’m more inclined to do 4 Rear wheels 10.5’s … but 255/35/19 all around so I can keep my factory ride height without any modifications.
Now the mission is just finding a set that isn’t going to cost me to sell my liver lol.
looks like everywhere is approximately $600 a wheel American. Being in Canada that will be plus taxes, duties, shipping and the conversion from Canadian to American. This is looking to be about a $3,500 Canadian wheel package plus all the other costs above then getting tires locally.
Love these wheels but looks like unless I can find them in Canada, after all said and done with Wheels, tires, duties, taxes and currency conversion I’ll be around the $6,000 mark. Wow
