Anyone tried? Ive having a lil trouble finding offset numbers for the wheels, but it looks like it might be tight on the fronts with the width.

And also, just a note: I was trying to sell the rims off of my car a couple months back and someone brought up that there was a recall on them. Well, no, there wasnt, it was just for 2000-2001 Y33 with the 5-spokes. But my wheel cracked just the same, all the way thru a spoke(could see light). Infiniti international wouldnt help because their goodwill terms end at 84k miles (?) and my car has 100K. So if anyone has a spare Y33 Q45t 5-spoke wheel they want to sell(for something less than the "discount" rate the dealership gave me at $5XX) let me know.

What do you mean by 'goodwill' ? Are they replacing the wheels on '99? Last time I've talked to Infiniti they said the recall is for 00-01 only.

My guess is they were telling him if the car was under 84k, they might have been able to replace it under what they cal "goodwill". Which is an easy comment to make to the guy with 100k on his car.

BadQ45t was gonna put the M45 Sport wheels on his Y33, but offsets are way too high, like +50 or something! I'm running +20 all the way around, so you'd need like 1.5" spacers to make them work right.

There is a TSB with an across the board recall for these wheels if you are in the correct VIN range.

I would call Infiniti Customer Service and inform them of what your dealer did. Register with them as the owner of your vehicle if you have not already done so.

Yup, the backs fit perfectly fine but the fronts will require spacers. My mechanic in LA checked it out and he said it was doable but spacers were needed for sure.

I've got them for sale since I have lots of tread left on my current rims and I don't have hte money for the tires right now. Email me if you're interested in them.

I have a set of 16" 97' touring rims but they do not help you, they look different than yours.
