Saw a picture of your new wheels, which look great. Photo is not detailed, are these the rims with the little dots on them? Were there any problems with the size of these rims as I noticed that the Z rims have about a 30mm or 35mm offset vs. 45mm of the original pie pan style? Did you add spacers? My vehicle is a 94'Q.

Rex is right, that's the exact wheel I'm using and he'd probably know the offset better than me! Everything fits perfectly, no spacers or anything. Awesome wheels IMO.

Thanks Colorado. By the way, what tire sizes are you running?

Depending on the Potenza you are talking about, the front 225/50-17 have load index values that are below the recommended minimum load index for a Q45 (the values for the various Potenza models range from 93 to 94) and the rears are okay at 95 or 96.

Please switch to 245/45-17 with a load index of 95 or preferably mugh higher! The wheels can handle the larger size without issue!

I had the same width and offset G35 rims on my 1995 Q45. Not as nice as these, but not bad at all!
