Found a guy selling these rims for $600 with bridgestone potenza's on them. My question is, will they be a perfect fit on my 04 g35x ?

Anybody? I need to know before tomorrow morning. I dont want to make the trip to pick them up, if they arent going to be a flush fit.

Yup! Sure does!

I have an X and found a deal locally (no tires) so I decided to try these.

I think they are flush, and will be perfect as long as you are running same size tires front and back, so you may need to buy fronts to match the back.

Can someone explain how front and tires of different WIDTH will effect the awd system? As long as everything else is the same, and all tires are spinning equally, i dont see how merely having wider rear tires effects the ride..

It won't matter, as long as the tires are the same diameter. Since the gears for the front and rear wheels are the same, the tires need to be the same diameter so that the gears spin at the same speed.
