2008 INFINITI QX — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2008 INFINITI QX?
The 2008 INFINITI QX 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 QX have the same bolt pattern as the 2008?
The INFINITI QX uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1997 through 2013. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2008, provided the offset and center bore also match.
Can I put aftermarket wheels on my 2008 INFINITI QX?
Absolutely. Just ensure the aftermarket wheels have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, an offset near 40mm, and a center bore of at least 66.1mm (using hub rings if larger).
Can I use spacers on my 2008 INFINITI QX?
Yes, but ensure the wheel spacers match the 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 66.1mm center bore. Also verify that you have enough thread engagement for your N 12x1.25 hardware.
What does 40mm offset mean for the 2008 QX?
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.
How tight should I torque the lug nuts on a 2008 INFINITI QX?
Refer to your owner's manual for exact specs, but always tighten the N 12x1.25 hardware in a star or crisscross pattern. Re-torque after the first 50 miles of driving.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- 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).
- This model has multiple bolt-pattern records across years. Match wheels to exact year/trim before purchase.
