I just picked up a stock 94 Q45 but the previous owner put some hideous wheels on and tossed the stockers. I hate these wheels and I want to replace them with something nicer in an 18". I know the G50 has a pretty high offset to start with and I'm trying to figure out how wide of a wheel I can run and what offset I should be looking at. I'd like to run at least a 9" wheel. I don't mind a slightly stretched tire (say a 235 is about the narrowest I'd be okay with) and I want to keep the body stock, or 90% stock. I don't mind a roll, I don't want to pull or flare.

I've searched pretty much every forum I know of, and even hit up google, but I can't find much for the G50, only the F50. Can anyone help?

Find some F50 OEM 18's.

Cheap, strong, light, and nice-looking.

350Z Rays wheels: 18x8 +30 fron and 18x8.5 +33 rear.

For a 9" wheels, something with offsets around 30-40 should work from what Ive seen. That pdf in the thread in the Q forum has some good examples, although the guys over there say its conservative...
