Potentially getting new shoes for the G.. thoughts?

Frequent reader/ lurker here, but have only ever posted once or twice.. So I have a 2007 G35 sedan (journey), and have had intentions of getting new wheels ever since I got the car (just over a year ago.) Well I just recently found a guy locally that's selling some G37s coupe / Q60s 19s. I've offered him $750 cash plus my stock 17s and he accepted the offer. I know all of y'all on here have a lot of knowledge / and even some experience with these wheels, so I wanted to get y'alls opinion before officially pulling the trigger on 'em.

BTW: tire specs are 235/40/19 & 245/40/19

Heres a couple of pictures I got from the seller:






This is what they would look like on my car:

After having read many posts on here talking about wheel spacers, I was planning on getting some some to achieve that "flush" look with the fender. Sorry for all the questions, but I want to be sure to do it right the first time.. What size spacers would you recommend to make them flush? And are there certain brands that are way better than others? Or any I should stay away from?

Wait until you get them mounted, then decide if you want them and if so, how much closer you want to get to the fender.Spacers are simple to add later and much better then getting ones that are too thick or thin. Seems like a nice deal, if they come w/ TPMS sensors they won't work w/ your 07, so include swapping your TPMS in the deal if possible (assuming yours still have the TPMS sensors). Tires look to be decent from the pics as well.

Now that's an upgrade, those wheels should look great on your Journey! If they come with sensors you may need to have a quality tire shop reprogram them for you. Do some research before swapping them out...ask!

Update:

Well, didn't end up getting the wheels.. I could tell something just didn't feel right about the deal from the beginning, and it turned out that when I arrived at the guy's shop, the wheels were in much worse condition than the pictures showed. So.. back to the drawing board.

Looking for another set of these, the G35s sedan 18s, the (other) G37s coupe 19s, or possibly some 19" Rays from a first gen coupe. (In that order, I think). Although I do like the look of some aftermarket wheels, I really would like to stick with an OEM set.

Thanks for all y'alls opinions / tips / etc. Much appreciated!
