Think I made my decision...

So I have fell in love with a set of rims and think I want to get them..

http://www.mirowheels.com/111.html



I am going to go with the 19 inch which they give a few options for.

I first saw and fell in love with these rims after seeing this G37X:
http://myg37.com/forums/picture-shar...hotoshoot.html

I see he went with 9.5 ET33 but also commented on page 2 that if he didn't drop, he thinks they would stick out a bit. I have a 07 G35X and haven't dropped yet. I plan to use a Prokit in the future, but not sure how far from now. I don't want it to look silly in the mean time though.

From the research I have done, everyone is saying because of the offsets of the 5x112, I will need to go with the 5x120 and have the rims redrilled. Here are the options, what is everyone's professional (or more professional then me), opinion.

Here are the options:
19x8.5 5x112 32
19x8.5 5x120 15/35
19x9.5 5x112 40
19x9.5 5x120 20/33

From my research I have come up with 19x8.5 ET35, but I have only been on the forums for a week (only had the car for 4 days), and don't want to make a mistake on my first decision. I don't plan to do any heavy mods, I like the clean factory (but updated) look.

I appreciate the help greatly!

Chris

Thanks, any advice on offset for an unlowered g35x with a potential Pro-kit in the future... I want it to look good now and after being lowered.

Not sure but I'd say 19x8.5 +35 would be ok but 19x9.5 +33 would look more aggressive and probably will look much better when you lower it. Thats just my opinion though I'm no wheel expert lol.

I saw some concaved 19X8.5 with +32 and they didn't seem to be that off. But I'm no expert to offsets so can't help here :-P

Bremmer makes a very similar styled rim, maybe if these don't fit you might wanna look there as well??

Really like those rims... but a sweet looking rim won't look right if the offset isn't right either just make sure it fills out the wheel well to your satisfaction before you buy.

Thanks- but thats part of my problem.. I have see 2 G's with them, one was a sedan and was able to get the 5x114.. I'm going to have to go with the 5x120 and have them redrilled because of the offset.. I'm not sure if its worth the chance/headache.

I'm not a fan of cast wheels in general add that to re drill and I'm paranoid enough not to like it

So was there any suggestions on offsets for these on an 07 g35x? I really would like to make sure I get the right specs, and can use some of everyone's experience to help! I have done a tone of reading, and still need the reassurance.
