Default Swapping 350z wheels with G35 rays

Ok, so i've decided to swap my 18" performance stockers w/ 19" g35 rays.

The g35 wheels/tires i bought don't come w/ the tpms, so from what I understand, I'll have to do a swap of the tpms?

I have no idea how to swap it over, and have no idea where to start. I've done a search and couldn't find any instructions. Is it a simple procedure? If so, can someone point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance!

The TPMS's are part of the valve-stems, so you would have to dismount the tire from the wheel. You could just have a tire shop just swap over the sensors. Thats what i did.

I personally like the 19-inch G#5 rays wheels, probably the SICKEST stock rims for any car out there.

problem is they aren't wide enough in the rear to support some nice tires

spend a little more and buy nice new aftermarket wheels. Lets stop the trading of one car's stock wheels with another thing. It's definitely ghetto.

Whats Ghetto about that They are nice wheels and some people like the stock look. Whats ghetto is that in your sign you have "Skyline" and "350GT" badges on the back of your G35 Can we please stop taking badges off one type of car and putting it on others cars you have a g35- not a skyline last I hear the skyline is a Nissan Reminds me of the honda days Vtec hear and every where.

I agree with part of your statement. There's nothing ghetto about a Z with G35 Ray rims. I think it looks pretty damn good!

And about the G35 being a Skyline. It is a Syline.... in japan. So your statement is partly accurate. Samething for the Z being a fairlady in Japan.

UHATEIT, good point. As much as I love my OEM 19's, there arent wide enough to support wider tires than 255 in the rear.
