Hey guys

I want to get some bigger wheels for my Infiniti. I have found a set I like for a very good price, but I want to make sure they will fit alright before I order them.

Now I am not some dumbarse who has no understanding of offset etc, but I just want to know what sort of width's and offsets work with the G50. The wheels in question are 19x8+45 and 19x9+45. This seems a little high but because I have never put good wheels on the car I don't know. I know alot of bigger Toyota's can't fit low offset well, so I thought this might be the case with Q45.

The main thing I want to know is if they will sit fairly flush with the guards and if not, how far in the will be sitting.

And maybe some suggestions of width's and offsets if possible. I am not looking to have wheels sitting out the guards by an inch, I want flush fitment.

Thanks alotBrendon

i would recommend something like 19x9 +30, 19x10 +30 for a flush fitment. but you have to at least roll the lip of the rear quarter panel flat....

but if those are the rims you want to run, youd need at least a 1" spacer front and rear...

So I ran19x8.5 +35 FR19x9.5 +38 RRBoth super low disc.

The front would rub every now and then depending weight and the road. They needed to be cambered in, but my ride height was tucking tire.Roll that inside lip it's a lil harder on the G50's because of the kinda boxed fender lip. Remove plastic wheel well lining.

But for really nice fitment that will take work I wouldn't but any thing with an offset above 35. Depending on the look you want and wheel width.

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking that they would be a bit sunken. I like the wheels but am not 100% set on them. In saying that, I am not against running a spacer either.

Thanks for the info about rolling the guards too. I thought that might be the case. I'll look into rims around +30 then.
