You can run a staggered wheel set up. The most important thing is to ensure the rolling diameter of your tires are equal (or as close as possible). Do a search as there are many threads.

but to clarify here is an example: You can run 19x8.5 front and 19x10.5 rear. Then you would run a 225/40/19 tire up front and a 255/35/19 tire rear. Granted the tires are different sizes, their rolling diameters are w/i .1" of each other (Front = 26.1" and rear = 26.0") Plus, you would have some nice stretch

The Infiniti Altessa AWD system allows for a bit a variance..but ensure the larger OD is up front.

Second, Lorenzo/chrome? Really?

not a fan of Lorenzo's or chrome. Belong on a Caddy IMO. How much do they cost? Also, make sure you research the offsets as well for proper fitment.

Only occasionally can chrome wheels look good on our cars

+1 on researching offsets.

Try the following..yes I am partial to the Nismos. There are various sets of the ones below floating around at comprable prices in the sales forums...

Rays/Nismo LMGT4


SSR GT3


JLine 5RL3

If I had an all black G35 with tinted windows and stock chrome badging/grille, I would go for something like this. It's a little blingy and a little VIP, classy but aggressive. Most chrome wheels are too shouty, I like something a little more subtle.

I know Vossen isn't everyone's favorite, but I think the wheel will age better over time. Personally, I think that chrome wheels are already outdated and old news... every time I see someone drop a set on a new car, the car instantly look 5 years older.

The Vossens have potential to still look good in a few years.
