Found possible wheels on EBAY - will they fit the G35X
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.

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.

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:
http://gs.tolan-hoechst.com/tirecalc.htm
Plug in the numbers and keep an eye on the Tire height (inches) field.
PS - Thanks for the compliment.
