Hello everyone, I'm a proud owner to a 2006 M35X, which I picked up on 03/13/09. My question is, would FX 20 inch chrome wheels fit my M35X, without any modifications. Would like to upgrade the wheels and keep the OEM look.......Thanks in advance.

Perfect photos...but, Lou-BX-M keep in mind the car will sit a little higher (1. this car has lowering springs installed 2. your's is an X-model)

Thanks guys, love the pics. I'm still debating on getting the FX 20 inch chrome wheels because the guy I was going to buy them from had them on a Blazer Extreme and he had to drill new holes to make them fit. My issue is that I believe he compromised the strength of the FX wheel by drilling new holes ( please correct me if i'm wrong ). The guy is asking for $900 with nitto tires ( is this a fair price )......P.s, so Its fair to say that the wheels are a direct fit, with no rubbing or modifications needed.

I would definitely avoid wheels that have had holes drilled in them. The metal has been compromised, and the bolt pattern may be wrong for your car now. The original manufacturer of the wheel had not, in all likelihood, taken this into account when designing the wheel and it simply may not be sufficient for your car now.LOU-BX-M wrote:Thanks guys, love the pics.

Finally, before you go for the FX wheels, make sure that the offset is what you expect. If lower than stock offset (which I think they are), they will sit on the hub a bit further out. Which may fit fine without touching the fender (however, if the larger is larger in diameter, this is not guaranteed), but may, or may not, be the look you want.
