I want to put FX45 rims on my QX4. I know the fx45 wheels are 5x4.5" and won't bolt straight on. I can get adapters to have them bolt on to the qx4's 6x5.5" pattern, but they're about 2" wide. From what I've found the offset of the stock wheels are +15mm and the FX45 wheels are +40mm, so the and with the 2" (50mm) adapter it should bring the offset to -10mm, so the wheel will stick out about an inch. What I'm wondering is will I have enough clearance on the fenders?

stock wheels are 17x8". The FX wheels are 18x8"

I removed the wheel and looked yesterday and the bolt adapters wouldn't even be able to fit over the hub unless I used about a 3" spacer/adapter. Oh well, any other suggestions on stock looking wheels or retrofit wheels that would fit and look good on a QX4. Don't want something that looks off-road

As additional options to OP, I assume that would include Titan and Armada wheels fit too?

I think armada wheels would look pretty slick... Someone on here a while ago was gearing up some to put on, but then he smashed up his pathy and disappeared.

I didnt think Titan/Armada wheels fit straight on? I thought the Pathfinder/QX4 had larger bore and you had to take the wheels to a machine shop? I want to run the larger Armada wheels on my 04 Path.
