Hey there everyone, I own a 2008 M35x. I'm in the market for some 20" M37 sport wheels, let me just get it out there my max budget is 700-1000. I was close to buying some rotiform wheels but the seller didn't disclose that they were staggered and I've been told it's best to stay away from different size wheels on an AWD model car. If anyone can chime in with some suggestions or hook ups on some M37s wheels that'd be great.

Thanks.

I would highly recommend LA Wheel and Tire for OEM wheels that have come from Infiniti buyers who had custom wheels placed on their cars shortly after taking delivery of their new car from the Infiniti dealer. However, I have never seen a complete set of Infiniti OEM wheels for anywhere near the price you wanted.
You will probably need to buy used wheels and even then, if the wheels are in great shape, I reckon a set of 20 inch wheels (new or near new_ will cost between $1500-2000. LA Wheel and Tire shipped a set that came from a fully optioned 2016 Q50 and they were nearly $2000 for a set of 19 X 9 with less than 50 miles.
Perhaps a salvage yard or maybe check places like Craig's or Ebay, etc. Best of luck.
If they don't need to be actual OEM Infiiti, I recommend Tire Rack.

In theory, and some have applied this theory, you can use staggered wheels on an AWD as long as the rolling diameter of all four wheels is identical. There are calculators around the web to calculate such a thing, but if you're like me, I'd rather not go that route.

I've met a guy who was selling his M37s wheels for 1000 even with tires but he had chrome and I'm looking for alloy.

No thanks I rather be safe than sorry; the last thing I need right now is transmission problems.
