19" Rays Engineering Wheels for 2008 G35 Sedan

I'm about to buy staggered Rays Engineering Light Weight Racing Wheels with the following specs for my 2008 G35 sedan (currently has the standard 17 inch wheels all around). Will these fit?

Fronts are 8.5
Rears are 9.5
Front tires are 245/35/19
Rear tires are 275/35/19

Thanks for the help!

People will need to know the offsets in order to tell you.

Post # 2 has all the links for the major wheel questions... That would be a good place for you to start... Right after learning to post in the correct section.

The guy I'm buying them off of says they're from a g35 coupe. I believe it is the '05-'07 coupe, but I don't know the offset and I'm not sure he does either. First time buying new wheels obviously. But yes, definitely deserved the pwnage for posting in the wrong place. According to this site, I believe they are 20-22mm offset.

I'd rather go too little offset (risk the wheels sticking out a bit) than too much (risk rubbing against suspension, etc.).

Those widths and offsets don't correspond to any OEM wheels; looks like you are quoting the 'aftermarket aggressive' setup which could be anything. If they are stock coupe sport 19" wheels, they are 8.0" and 8.5" and +30 and +33 offsets respectively. Do you have a link to the actual wheels?

You are right, these aren't OEM wheels given the width, and I am quoting the aftermarket setup as my best guess of what they are.

Here's a link to the craiglist post of the guy I'm buying them from:

I can't seem to find them anywhere else on the internet given the description.

BTW, the guy says that he was mistaken, they are 9 not 9.5 in back. Still not OEM.

Now we're getting somewhere. Yes, they are OEM coupe sport 19s, look to be in good shape and that's a decent price for them. They are 8.0" and 8.5" and +30 and +33 offsets respectively.

As far as 08 G sedan fitment, you will have to research that or get more-expert help than I.

would i have to do a drop? The overall diameter (wheel + tire) seems to drop a bit up front using the 245/35/19 setup. Would this look weird or cause a problem?
