Espig37s

Hey all,

I am looking at getting some 19s again. I found some sweet g35 rays and have heard they are ultralight. However, it looks like they are narrower than the stock g37 19s.

Here is the question. I have a 2011 graphite coupe s lowered on swift springs.

With the g35 rays, Do I need to run spacers? Can I fit 255/40 up front and 275/35 or 285/35 in the rear?

Which do you think would look better, the stock g37 19s in black or the g35s rays in matte black?

Anyone have pics of g37 coupe with the rays?

Thanks.

G37 stock looks better IMO

yea, I would say the g37 wheels may look classier, but the weight difference is pretty significant and it would make it look different.

Would I need to run spacers with the rays? How about those tire sizes?

TeeItHi

weight is less. looks different.

looks of people are putting 245 front and 275 rear on those rims. not sure about 255 front.

I would stick with the 19s. There is a member who is selling the G35 wheels, but I think those wheels were best suited for the old gen coupe because the body lines were 'smaller'. But for track purposes, they are good.

Would the weight difference be noticeable? My g is my DD. I just really like how it looks different, although I still love the stock 19s on the g37s.

anyone know if the g35 rays clear the g37s front brakes? do i need a spacer?

TeeItHi

there's a significant weight difference, atleast 5lbs per wheel and it should clear big brakes. i've seen these wheel on 350z with brembo.

So the specs are:
19x8 +30et offset - front
19x8.5 +33et offset - rear
fronts are 19lbs
rears are 20lbs

the rays g35 wheels are forged 1 piece
it would have been sweet if g37s came with a forged wheel from rays...
but i do agree with everyone, g37 wheels do look better to me too

So the G37S doesn't come with Rays wheels? Not sure why I just assumed they did.

What do you all think of either of TSW Interlagos or the Nurburing instead of the 19s from the g37. Really like the idea of the weight difference, but love the look of the 19s from the g37 (prior to 2012). Looks like each of the TSWs are about the same weight as the rays.

Nurburing over Interlagos

Ya the mesh does look good, just wish they made them in black. Got a graphite g and looking to do black theme.
