I have tried my best to get my head wrapped around all the info...but I am not sure I am getting it.

I currently have a set of 19" Rims: 19 x 8.5 +20, 19 x 9.5 +20.

Will these fit with a new 2009 G37X Coupe?

Can spacers be used if required?

I appreciate the help in advance.

Well "it depends"

What do you consider "fit"? Do you want to run stretched tires? Camber? Will you roll/pull fenders?

What's the stock wheels sizes offsets (I think they're ~8.5 with mid to upper 40's offsets)?

Doesn't the X in G37X mean All Wheel Drive? If so, you don't really want to run staggered wheels/tires.

Assuming the stock wheels have a higher offset (means they sit further "in"), then adding spacers to these (with lower offsets) would make them sit even further out, so spacers won't help.

My armchair quarter back guess is no, but with more details that may change.

You should NOT be running staggered wheels on a G37X. You are going to trash your center differential.

That is the first part of his problem.

Next, you read this info here:http://forums.g35club.org/zerothread/342067

and you can't figure out if those offsets will work on a G37?
