19" M45 Sports on 07 G35x question
So, I really like the M45 sport wheels as an upgrade. I know I'll need spacers due to the 50 offest, but wanted your opinion on what you would pay for a full set with tires off an 06M45 with 99% tread on them.
I'm thinking $1500.
1. What do you think they're worth. 1500, 2000 or more?
2. If offset is 50mm and preferred is 35mm does that mean 15mm spacer needed. I'll probably just measure the gap when they're on and get the correct spacers.
3. Would you get rims knowing you need spacers?
If it's too high I'll pass and get aftermarket, but would like these. Your opinions are all welcome and appreciated.
Thanks
Hopefully you feel this thread belongs here if not, my apologies and feel free to move mods.

1500 with out rims is too high I have purchased the wheels and tires myself for 1000 on eBay. You just have to keep looking. I'm not a fan of spacers but I recommend you get hubcentric spacers do a search on eBay for G35 spacers. They offer 10-20 mm spacers that converts to about 1/4 inch up to 1/2 an inch. From what I remember (do a search for spacers) the 15 thru 20mm are hubcentric so I would go with either of those...
If you are confused by what hubcentric means... the weight of the wheel is balanced either at the hub (hubcentric) or at the lugs (lugcentric) since you are going with factory wheels the wheels themself are hubcentric but if you add a none hubcentric spacer it will throw off the balance of the wheel which will cause annoying vibrations if the lugs have to take the brunt of the force keeping the wheel in check. A hubcentric spacer is designed especially for your factory hub so it will fit perfectly and there will be NO vibration.
