So I'm a noob when it comes to wheels and fitments. I came across a deal on a set of staggered Falken Koblenz. The fronts are 19x8.5 +25 offset and the rears are 19x10.5 +30. Would these fit my Q or would I rub?Here's a pic. Let me know what you guys think of them. All opinons are welcome as I'm still undecided on them..



Thanks in advance for any help/ insight..

What is the OE offset of the model year Q45 you own? Is your car lowered? Do you intend on lowering it? If so how low? What type of look are you trying to achieve? These are some important questions to ask yourself before you spend your pennies on a set of new wheels.

By the way... the offset of the OEM wheels are showing in the owner's manual. If you need a copy, you can download it free of charge at http://www.infinititechinfo.com

The OE offset is 40. I do plan on lowering the car but not anytime soon. At least until I have another running car. I just want a clean look. My Q is black with tan interior and I think the black with chrome lip would look great.

And Heath, thanks for that link! Lots of info that will come in handy.

Edit: According to Heath's second link for the fronts The clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 4mm LESSThe outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 34mm

And for the rears The clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 34mm LESSThe outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 54mm

You will probably need spacers on the front, the rears might make it.
