I don't have the slighest clue about rim sizes and such, and I looked in the sticky thread to see if I could answer my questions but I couldn't find anything. So here it goes...

What bolt pattern does a 07 g35x have?

I know you can't stagger a g35x, but what about offset...can a 35 or 45 be used? What exactly is "offset"?

What rims are reccommend for a G35x? I was looking at 18X7.5 but will 18X8.5 fit as well. Do you need to get hub rings?

Sorry for the stupid questions, but any help would be appreciated.

THanks.

 

Bolt pattern: 5x114.3

From wikipedia:

The offset of a vehicle's wheel is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the plane of the part of the wheel bolted to the hub. It can thus be both positive and negative, and is typically measured in millimeters. Offset has a significant effect on many elements of a vehicle's suspension, including suspension geometry, clearance between the tire and suspension elements, the scrub radius of the steering system, and visually, the width of the wheel faces relative to the car's bodywork.

Zero Offset - The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.
Positive Offset - The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.
Negative Offset - The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline.

For an 18x8.5: 40-45mm offset wheels would fit fine

To simplify things, take a look at www.tirerack.com for wheels & tires

 

If I can add to you thread:

f - 19x8.5 - 245/35/19 +34 offset
r - 19x9.5 - 275/35/19 +40 offset

= nice deep dish look (depending on wheels).

 

As far as I know...you can't have a staggered setup on an AWD.

 

Thanks.

 

1010tires.com has an offset calculator that tells you how much your inside clearance and outside position will change for a given offset.

That's why I have the S. Forgot you have the X.
