Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the stock wheel sizes on that model ... so, my question: what is the size and offset of those wheels? That would help in providing an answer.

Yes, the FX 20s will fit just fine but you will need to use different tires than the ones that came on the FX.Im not sure why the other posters beat around the bush on answering this, this question has been brought up and talked about MANY many times and there are over a dozen pictures of cars on this forum with FX 20s on a Y34!Cheers

I have FX wheels with tires (300 miles on both) that I want to sell. If you are interested, send me an email at [email protected]. I can send you pictures and all...

With wheels and fitments, you can never be too careful.

Regardless of which, you are correct. More importantly, I misread the original post to mean wheels from an "EX35" (not an FX35) - i.e., the new Infiniti model - and, as far as I know, no one has yet taken wheels from that one to put on a Y34. Hence my question!

As I mentioned before...I have 20 " FX wheels with the tires (245's) with less than 300 miles on them. I also have a set of Eibach springs, a Stillen exhaust, and an Injen intake. Drop me an email at [email protected] if interested...

Okay, I did some research on the car that I misread about earlier.

As an FYI (not related to the original posted question in this thread though!), the EX35 wheels will not fit a Y34 M45 without using spacers. The EX has 17 x 7.5 and 18 x 8 wheels with 47 and 50mm offsets ... these are similar in offset to the Y50 M (i.e., 2006+ M), but too high a value for the Y34 M (2003 and 2004 M).

And, of course, IMHO, using the 15 to 20mm spacers you'd need for these wheels on a Y34 is "evil". YMMV.

No spacers although I think I will put some on in the future
