Expert Buying Guide for 2012 INFINITI G
The 2012 INFINITI G uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 66.1mm center bore. When installing aftermarket wheels, hub-centric rings are essential to match the bore precisely, preventing vibrations and ensuring proper load distribution. The factory offset is around 40mm; deviations beyond ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues with suspension and brakes. Always verify that aftermarket wheels have a compatible offset for your specific G model (sedan vs. coupe). Lug nuts are M12x1.25 thread pitch with a conical (60-degree) seat. Using incorrect lug nuts (e.g., ball seat or wrong thread) can lead to wheel loosening. Re-torque after 50-100 miles of driving.
Historical Fitment Data Reference

- Observed total offset span across years: 90.0 mm
Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 80-90 ft-lbs after 50-100 miles to ensure proper seating.
- ✅ Avoid wheels with offset below 35mm on the G37 coupe to prevent fender rubbing.
- ✅ Check for caliper clearance on aftermarket wheels; some designs may require spacers.
- ⚠️ Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- ⚠️ Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x114.3 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).

2012 INFINITI G — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2012 INFINITI G?
The 2012 INFINITI G uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 66.1mm and the offset is 40mm.
What other years of INFINITI G have the same bolt pattern as the 2012?
The INFINITI G uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1992 through 2013. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2012, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What is the center bore of a 2012 INFINITI G?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 2012 INFINITI G is 66.1mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
What lug nut size does the 2012 INFINITI G use?
The 2012 INFINITI G uses N 12x1.25 lug nuts. Always verify the thread pitch and seat type (cone, ball, or flat) match your aftermarket wheels.
What does 40mm offset mean for the 2012 G?
An offset of 40mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 40mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your INFINITI.
Why is matching the 66.1mm center bore important for the 2012 G?
The 66.1mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
