I'm not 100%, but I believe they are 18x8 +33

Could be wrong...

just talked with Grant. They won't fit as they are only a 30+ offset and the Q needs 35-40+

they'll fit, but it's not "ideal" for a Q, there should be two sizes an 18x8 and a 18x9 if I'm not mistaken, since they run two sizes on the G35 with the 18"(like the 350z)., you'd ahve to run split tire sizes and make sure the load indexs were high enugh for your Q.-chet

chet,

what do you mean it's not "ideal"? And so you think I'd be running 18x8's up front and 18x9's in the rear?

The pictured G35 wheels are all 18x8 +30. Tire sizing is different. The front wheels have a hole in the backside of the mounting pad which mates to the small pin in the front G35 rotor, so you don't end up with the rear wheel (with it's larger tire) on the front.

the early Q fender "flaring" as it's designed should make a neat match to the lower offset of these G35 wheels..

maybe..

they'll be set farther out than the factory wheel, so it's really up to you if you think it sits too far out and looks odd. It'll probably look good.

and here's the disclaimer: you (we, all) won't know till you test fit. :(

This is true. I'm hoping to get a set of take-offs from a dealer as I could then return them if they didn't look right.

So the question is: do I get 18x8's for the front and 18x9's for the rear? Or do I go with one or the other and which one?

The green haired cat is correct, they are 18X8 all the way around. They do not have a wider stock rim out back. Only the tire sizes are different front and back, it's the same wheel width.

By the way, that avatar kills me. At first I thought that was Gay Ellis but the hair color is wrong (a nod of the head to all the Gerry Anderson fans out there). ;)
