From what I know you are within 3% rolling diameter with the specs you posted then you will be fine. I have never tested this 3% claim because I got 20x9.0 all 4 corners. Maybe you can try it and validate this claim, but I have seen people run staggared wheels with no problems to the Awd system.

Did you check the marketplace to see If one of the website vendors have these.
And please don't take offence but you can do much better than those wheels. Pm me and let me know how much you want to spend on wheels and tires and I'll show you a couple of designs and good wheel manufacturers and company you can buy from.

the AWD should have same size tires and wheels both front and back. this will throw off your traction and may damage your car.

I am getting them for $1000 slightly used, i am a low baller so i think the price is pretty decent.

You probably shouldn't put THIS staggered setup on your G. According to the calculator there is >20mm difference in the circumference.
My mechanic always reminds me to rotate my wheels often (which I do myself) to keep them the same diameter. It's very important on an AWD or 4WD system.

Wow thanks rpm&my_G35, Thats actually really helpful info. I am not getting the rims now, i feel bad now because i feel like i kinda dragged the guy along but i def dont want to damage my car.

so what kind of staggered rims would i be able to buy for the X? You wont believe how frustrated I got when i found out that the Q300 Invidia Exhaust wont even fit the G35X. That wouldve been a good alternative to getting rims, but i guess not much out there for our X. Its funny in the Tri-State area 8 out of 10 Gs I see are X.

Thanks for the Help. Any further recomendations?

Are you sure? 20mm isn't that much, as your calculator shows it's less than 1% difference between front and back.

TallyG, it's not so much your wheels, but the tire size.
