will they fit? they're 5 pattern and 18" so they should fit my tires right? i'm currently on 18" sport package stock wheels.
also how do you remove the XXR brand and put in an infiniti cap or is that not possible

Offsets (+38) are super weak, you'll need 25mm spacers to make them fit well. 5X114.3 is our lug pattern so you're good there and if the hole for the cap is the same size as the Infiniti cap, you just pop the new ones out and the Infiniti caps in.
I have the XXR 526. The Infiniti Caps from my 18" OEM's didn't fit.
Get the 526 and get the 18x9 front and 18x10.5 rear.
I am running 20/25mm spacers as well. The only way to make these look decent. I hate my 18's though.

So you wouldnt reccommend these?
Its an opinion thing. I wish I had just gotten 20" wheels instead.
I bought my 526's when they only had 18x9 Chromium Black in stock. I didn't want to wait until the 18x10.5 were back instock. I think I would have liked them better had I gone with a staggered set up.
This is what mine look like running 20/25mm spacers

how much would i have to save to get significantly better wheels than 600$ rims?
ITT: Aftermarket wheels without drops.

Edit: The only reason you scrape on stock height is because of your driving style.
Probably not a good idea to get lower even with poser springs if you drive it like a sedan.

uhm no, youre actually wrong. a bump or driveway that is too steep will cause you to bottom out regardless of how you drive. im sure there are bad drivers out there, but i take care of my car and how i drive it. the only way im able to get into my driveway at home is by going a certain speed, if i go too slowly it bottoms out everytime, so yes i have to 'drive it like a sedan' whatever that means, but in fact it helps me to not bottom out.
^^Did you buy the car used? Maybe its already been lowered by the past owner lol. If its stock height and your suspension is in working order than you shouldn't be bottoming out as often as your making it seem you do.
As for your rims, just get your stockers powercoated a darker colour if thats really all you're after. Cheap aftermarket 18'' on a G35 will get your more laughs than looks IMHO.
