Infiniti Q60 Bolt Pattern & Wheel Fitment Guide: Sizes, Offset, and Compatibility

Introduction: What Is the Infiniti Q60 Bolt Pattern?

The Infiniti Q60 bolt pattern is 5×114.3. The Q60 is also commonly listed with a 66.1 mm center bore. These figures mainly focus on the center-cap diameter and wheel and hub entrée, and they cannot determine the entire wheel fitment. Q60 generations and trims had variations in their wheel configurations. Hence, you need to find the correct fitment that satisfies your vehicle.

Infiniti Q60 Wheel Fitment by Generation

Modified Q60’s wheel applications changed significantly when Infiniti changed from the previous platform, CV36, to the generation CV37. This difference is important when you are sourcing the Infiniti Q60 wheels. This is because every model year does not have the same factory wheel diameter, wheel width, offset, and tire combinations, even in the same bolt pattern of any Infiniti model. The Infiniti wheel pattern fails to change in any of the documented wheel applications, but the other wheel fitment specifications for a specific car need to match.

Earlier Q60 / CV36 Fitment

The Q60 from earlier production uses CV36 as the platform code, which follows the same lineage as the G37 Coupe. Fitment references for this application mentioned 18 inches and 19 inches wheel configurations, which must be chosen carefully according to the model year and the trim of your vehicle. Due to this, a replacement wheel must be selected from the actual factory specification of the vehicle rather than any generic Infiniti Q60 listing. Moreover, for a distributor, separating CV36 applications from the latter model also helps to avoid an apt wheel that has to be assigned to the wrong vehicle configuration.

Q60 CV37 Fitment

The CV37 generation was introduced with the 2017 Q60. In the 2017 owner’s manual, there are many 19-inch road wheel combinations. There are several 19x9J wheels with 40 mm and 37 mm offsets, and there is a 19×9.5J wheel with a 44 mm offset. The documentation lists different tire combinations specific to individual applications.

Later CV37 models expanded the factory range to include 20-inch wheels. In the 2019 documentation, 19-inch wheels are listed for the Pure and Luxe models, and 20-inch staggered sport wheels are listed for the Red Sport 400.

Infiniti Q60 Wheel Specifications at a Glance

For a quick Q60 wheel specifications reference, some Q60 models used different rims and tyres rather than one type. And thus, no one table will apply to all Q60s. The owner’s manual for the 2017 model listed several 19-inch rim sizes, as well as various tyre types and sizes. The later factory material confirmed the previous observations.

This table is not practically suitable for all Q60s. For instance, several factories say that the Q60 uses 19x9J and 19×9.5J rims for Q60 2017 model, but it notes 20-inch separate rims in 9-inch and 9.5-inch widths by other factories in a later Q60 Red Sport 2019 parts table.

18-, 19-, and 20-Inch Wheels for the Infiniti Q60

Wheel diameter is a major part of Q60 Application Planning, given that Infiniti provided different sizes across generations and trims with the Q60. Thus, the difference between 18,19, and 20 inches, and choosing between them, should be based on the vehicle application and intended use rather than just appearances. The 19- and 20-inch factory configurations in later Q60 models are confirmed by Infiniti’s own material, and the parts Catalog also identifies the 18-inch spare wheel application.

18 Inch Alloy Wheels for Infiniti Q60

18-inch alloy wheels would make sense when the application focuses more on tire sidewalls and everyday road use. Typically, a smaller wheel diameter generally leaves more sidewall within a comparable overall tire diameter, which would be beneficial when a buyer desires smoothness of ride and practical road protection. 18 inches, however, should not be considered as the upgrade of Q60 to be universal. The brake package and vehicle configuration shall still be checked specifically before the application can be approved. For distributors, this would make the 18-inch category a lot more suitable for clearly defined applications than a one-size-fits-all Q60 SKU.

19 Inch Alloy Wheels for Infiniti Q60

19-inch alloy wheels are very important for the Q60 since Infiniti used this diameter on various factory configurations. The owner’s manual of 2017 mentions 19x9J and 19×9.5J road wheels in the table of dimensions of the vehicle. Also, 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels were mentioned on 2019 brochure of Infiniti on Q60 3.0t Pure and Luxe.

So, 19 inches is a useful category for those buyers who are looking for the factory-aligned appearance and also do not want to go for the largest available diameter. The most crucial point is that wheel width, tire specification, and vehicle application must remain matched. Thus, listing 19-inch Q60 generally is less useful than a listing for a specific year, trim, and configuration.

20 Inch Alloy Wheels for Infiniti Q60

20-inch alloy wheels are popular as part of the Q60’s superior performance configuration. According to Infiniti’s 2019 brochure, 20-inch staggered aluminum-alloy sports wheels are found in the Red Sport 400. According to its official parts catalog, 20-inch Q60 wheels are 9 inches and 9.5 inches wide, meaning that within the 20-inch wheel diameter, more than one factory wheel specification exists.

The 20-inch category is a special application fitment of wheels. Staggered wheels require consideration of both front and rear wheel and tyre specifications. This is even more important when a set of factory wheels is being replaced, or an aftermarket SKU is specifically designed for use with multiple Q60 configurations.

Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 Wheel Fitment

The Q60 Red Sport wheels stand out as unique due to a combination of larger wheels and sport braking hardware when compared to other trims. Regardless of whether it is RWD or AWD, 2022 Infiniti’s 20×9-inch front and 20×9.5-inch rear staggered aluminum alloy wheels for the Red Sport 400, or 20×9-inch all-around for the Red Sport 400 AWD, should be the bid on Infiniti’s Q60 model wheel.

The Q60 Red Sport 400 wheels require matching the complete specification, not only the diameter or bolt pattern. Further, Infiniti’s official parts catalog for Red Sport brake components, including sport calipers, supports the importance of brake hardware to the application.

For example, a 5×114.3 wheel may have the same hub pattern as the Q60 but still be unsuitable if its spoke design or inner profile did not provide sufficient brake clearance. For distributors, a Red Sport SKU would have to be validated against the associated brake package before it could correctly list the wheel as compatible with the Q60.

Does AWD vs. RWD Change Q60 Wheel Fitment?

The primary concern about the Q60 AWD wheel fitment is keeping the wheel-and-tire combination compatible. The bolt pattern itself is not what changes just because a Q60 becomes AWD. What does change is how important it is to match the tire dimensions and rolling circumference across the drivetrain.

RWD Q60 Applications

For Q60 RWD wheels, both square and staggered configurations can be viable options provided the wheel, tire, suspension, and body clearances are suitable. Infiniti has offered staggered factory applications on specific models of the Q60; hence, a staggered arrangement is not always an aftermarket-only solution. The idea is to fit a specific vehicle, not fit one type of setup to all trims.

AWD Q60 Applications

Tire selection for Q60 AWD wheel fitment must be done with more caution. The owner’s documentation from Infiniti warned that AWD drivetrain components can be affected by varying tire circumferences and recommended keeping AWD vehicles consistent with their tire specifications.

Before using a staggered setup on a Q60 AWD, one should confirm the complete Q60 tire size, front-to-rear diameter, and rolling circumference. The staggered setup must be judged by the final tire package and not judged by the wheel’s width.

How Offset, Wheel Width, and Center Bore Affect Q60 Fitment

The Q60 wheel offset will indicate where the wheel will be in relation to the hub. Not only the space between the wheel and the fender, but also the space between the wheel and the suspension. A high positive offset will move the wheel in, while a low offset will push the wheel out. The proper value of the wheel will always depend on both wheel width and vehicle application. The factory Q60 data from Infiniti will also show this. The factory view of Q60 wheels includes 19x9J wheels at +40 and +37 offset and 19×9.5J wheels at +44 offset.

Lastly, the wheel width must be taken into consideration at the same time. A wider wheel will change both your suspension side and wheel side clearance. This is why a suitable Q60 wheel size cannot be judged from just the diameter. This is why factory wheel width should be treated as an application reference, and not a common aftermarket cap.

The Q60’s center bore is often mentioned as 66.1 mm. If a wheel has a smaller center bore, it won’t fit over the hub of the vehicle; if it has a larger bore, then a hub-centric solution is needed for the application, and you will need the correct one. So the center bore is important to how the wheel locates on the hub of the vehicle but doesn’t replace checks for offset, width, or brake clearance.

For Q60 wheel fitment, the internal shape of the wheel makes a difference to the brake clearance as well. The basic dimensions might be alike, but there can be a difference in the spoke position, caliper clearance, and barrel profile of different wheel designs. This matters for Q60s with sport brakes.

Can Any 5×114.3 Wheel Fit an Infiniti Q60?

No not at all! 5X114.3 wheels match Infiniti Q60 bolt pattern. However, 5X114.3 only confirm five lug PCD of the wheels. This does not confirm complete Infiniti Q60 compatibility.

A wheel that is compatible with the Q60 must be checked for center bore, offset, width, brake clearance, tire size, the load rating, as well as compatible lug hardware. The factory Q60 specifications, and therefore wheels, tend to differ according to their generations or trims. This is the reason that wheels must be approved against the complete application rather than only checking the pattern of the bolts.

Cast, Flow-Formed, and Forged Wheels for the Q60

The design of wheels is affected by the cost, weight, and position of the product, and should hence be selected according to the intended Q60 application. A commonly used option for Q60 wheels is cast alloy wheels, which are generally chosen by focusing on the cost factor. Another option for the Q60 wheels is flow-formed wheels, which can maintain the balance between weight, strength, and price. The best option for the premium performance of Q60 wheels is to use forged alloy wheels. Forged monoblock wheels are built using a one-piece forged construction and are preferred by buyers who mainly focus on weight reduction and premium positioning.

According to Infiniti, the Q60 uses 19- and 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, but no type of construction qualifies every wheel as it uses from the factory material. For distributors, construction is the parameter for choosing the product and not the guidance for a direct fitment requirement. Hence, the right Infiniti Q60 wheels should suit the vehicle used, regardless of being cast, flow-formed, or forged.

Infiniti Q60 Wheel Ordering Checklist for Distributors

Always verify the vehicle application before ordering Infiniti Q60 wheels. Do not assume that just because the Q60 is listed, you are safe; you must still record the model year, generation, trim, drivetrain, bolt pattern, center bore, etc. Also, verify the wheel diameter, width, Q60 wheel offset, tire specification, brake clearance, load rating, lug hardware, etc.

Be sure to verify the front and rear specifications if there is a staggered fitment. This is so vendors can safely catalogue Infiniti Q60 rims and do not risk assigning one SKU to a wheel that does not fit certain trims. That is a lot of trouble to go through just to build a SKU, but it is necessary.

Common Infiniti Q60 Wheel-Fitment Mistakes

Many of the popular Q60 fitment issues begin and end with treating a single specification as all the answers. If you have 5×114.3 checked off, don’t assume compatibility. If you use a wheel from the incorrect generation or trim, fitment issues will also arise.

Common mistakes include failing to clear red sport brakes, using an incorrect Infiniti Q60 tire size, or using an incorrect Q60 wheel offset, center bore, or width, causing further clearance or mounting problems. When fitting an AWD, specific consideration should be made when changing the front and rear tire dimensions. Distributors should cross-reference the complete vehicle application before listing Q60 wheels that fit. This is more reliable than saying a particular wheel is universally compatible with every Q60.

Conclusion

The Infiniti Q60 bolt pattern is 5×114.3, but there is more to Q60 wheel fitment than PCD. It is crucial for the wheels to fit the Q60 generation, trim, OG factory wheels, etc. The distributor needs to verify the complete application before choosing or ordering Infiniti Q60 wheels.If you still have any concerns about alloy wheels for the Infiniti Q60, feel free to contact KIPARDO anytime.
