Just make sure your offset is about 15-25. That will give you the best fitment. Anything more than that and you might have trouble getting it to fit. And don't forget about camber kits if you don't want camber, and consider rolling your fenders if you have to.
Beautiful advice but same for instance I copy your specs. Could I get camber kits later on or would I have to get them as soon as? And I'm asking with the offsets I provided would I need spacers? I'm for sure getting those wheels. Id get camber kits later on but just too much money because i have to buy wheels, tires, install, springs, install, lugs, fender rolling.

So Front 225/40/19 and Rear 245/40/19?

If you're going with the Euro Tek wheels (F: 19"x8.5 Offset +15, R: 19"x9.5 Offset +20) then you can probably get away with not having spacers. I have a 19x9.5 +22 wheel for my rears but they were still not as flush as I had liked so I threw on a 10mm spacer. If you are going with the AG wheels then you will definitely need spacers. You can always put the wheels on the car first and then see for yourself whether you want spacers or not.

Camber kits are recommended to be installed at the same time as your suspension mods, otherwise your alignment will be out of spec. Like I said, you can forget about the front for now but you should definitely pick up a kit for the rear. You'll need the toe bolts (included in the kit) to correct the toe which is what eats up your tires if they aren't aligned properly.

Sounds good to me.

Thanks for the advice I know the forums dead and you really didn't have to sit here and help so thank you!

I went with this setup because I wanted a meatier fitment without a stretch. As you can see it's pretty flush. My fenders are rolled so there's more clearance. Also I have a rear camber kit but no front kit. Usually, you can get by with just a rear kit. I only have about 2 degrees i the front. Here's a photo for reference. In general, you should stay away from ebay parts... those are cheap for a reason. The camber kits I quoted are made by SPC which is one of the top manufacturers for alignment kits... you don't want to cheap out on those.
you can't say don't cheap out on camber kits when you cheaped out on gravity cast wheels. Op if you make $500 every two weeks you should NOT be looking at wheels.

someone's used work/volk setup is your best choice. Keep your oem wheels for now until you can save for the real deal. Should you ever look to sell these, you will have no problem re selling as they hold their value MUCH better...read into the different ways wheels are made ex cast vs forged as well Look to keep the offsets lower as well

You'll be much happier knowing you were patient and didn't waste $ on poorly made cast/ knockoff wheels

$500 each week for two weeks. Actually I make $500 every week but two of the weeks checks go to bills and security money just in case my car or something else has problems. Thanks if you don't have helpful comments don't comment.

But back on topic. I see that you want to have your set up be as least dangerous as possible. Running spacers and cast wheels is way more dangerous than running a little bit of camber. Your stock set up from Infiniti already has a little bit of negative camber nothing to worry about unless you're going to crazy extreme lengths
Also since you said that you were getting lowering springs you really only concern for camber should be the rears which can be adjusted and fixed back to normal using the SPC rear camber arms as well as toe bolts at this point in time since you're not going that low -shouldn't really have to worry about front camber settings at all

Best advice in a while thanks! I just wanted to make sure I would be good right now with those specs I planned on keeping them that way anyways. I just didn't want to get all of what I said and they don't fit. 😥

I wouldn't start doing any wheel/suspension modding until you can do it all in one big purchase. With plans to change both, doing only one at a time will mess up the stance of what you're looking for...ie camber and tuck.
Getting a set of quality forged wheels + tires will run you 2-3k used, double if new.
SPC camber kits - 700
Tein/Eibach springs - 300
Sway bars (recommended by everyone) - 300
Basically, until you have 3k saved and set aside specifically for these mods...just maintain the car.
You don't want your PL and PSG giving you a counseling for not being able to maintain your uniform from lack of funds.

So you're telling me in order me to buy wheels and tires I HAVE to save 3k+? I was just trying to get wheels and lower.

If you WANT higher quality wheels...yes that's what it will cost.
You can obviously still get a less expensive set, it's up to you.
But remember, you asked for advice and you're getting other's experiences...just food for thought.

That's exactly right on the price . I just purchased 20/10 -5rear 20/9 1/2 -18 front from aristo collection it ran me for the forged wheels alone $3,400 and im actually looking for stance fitment And im guessing the tires are another $800 . So that's actually more than the actual estimate on forged wheels maybe because there 20's but i wouldn't mind opinions on the tires I wana get . I'm thinking a nice stretch of 235/35 in rear and 225/35 in front .. Any opinions ....?
