Sorry, guys, I know it's been asked alot, but it's really confusing so I'm asking again. I found rims on EBAY with these specs:
18"x9.5", 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 45 offset
Will they fit my '95 G35X? Will I need to roll the fender? Thanks.

 

They are ok for the rear. But they will hit your suspension in the front.

 

thats a good year

 

Yeah, the '95's were much faster than the current G's! Way underrated.

And, no way can you put those 9.5" rims in front. Sorry.

-T

 

plus they would look dorky as heck

 

I have 8" wide rims with a 45mm offset on the front of my 05 X and there is no way that a 9.5" wheel with a 45mm offset it gonna come close to fitting. It will hit the susppension arm BIG time. FWIW, I have about 1/8" clearance (MAYBE a hair more) with my 8" wheels.

 

Thanks all. That's what I was worried about. Glad I asked. Not bad though that I was in a G at least 9 YEARS before anyone else, huh? Woe for the weak of typing.

So let's see if I have this right. Assuming the stock rim is 7.5" wide with a 35mm offset, if I would go to a 9.5" rim, it will stick out 1" more on both the inside and outside with the same 35mm offset, correct? Therefore that's why with a 45mm offset, it will actually tuck inside more and hit the suspension. So even if a 9.5" wide rim could fit, it would require more like a 20 or 25mm offset.

 

Just so you have it right the stock rims on the 04/05 G35X are 7 x 17 with a +45mm offset.

 

No, a 9.5" wheel will NOT fit in the front PERIOD. Go 8" or 8.5" at all four corners.

 

OK, and what offset to get them to stick out as far as possible but not to have to roll the fender?

 

+38 for 8.5"

 

Cru, you're the man. BTW, I love the look of your car. I also have the billet grille and have had many positive comments from strangers on the look of my car. But the stock wheels have to go. So I'll be looking for 18x 8.5 with +38mm offset.

 

Be very careful to keep the overall tire height as close to stock as possible, especially with the X.

I use this wheel/tire calculator:

Plug in the numbers and keep an eye on the Tire height (inches) field.

PS - Thanks for the compliment.

 

That's an excellent tool. Thanks again. I'm happy to have asked because I also heard that the AWD makes for different decisions.

 

Very true. I don't think you can go staggered with the X either.
