Looking to buy some black Konig afterburners. I don't have a drop and I don't have the sport suspension.

1. Should I run staggered with the AWD or not
2. 20X8.5 5x114.3 ET30 <--- would this work without spacers

sorry for the n00b post here im just kinda confused on the specifications for rims for the G35, I did the auto find for my last lexus, but im in love with these rims and they are on sale at dirt cheap!

 

You can use a staggered setup but you would need to run 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear tires and those are the same diameter as your stock rims. If you plan on lowering you car then it is fine to run 20x8.5+30 front and 20x10+40 rear.

 

do i need spacers for the offset, and will the staggered mess up my awd, i get mixed emotions from this

 

I pretty much have this exact setup in terms of specs (+/- a few mm for offsets) and there are no problems whatsoever. The 245 285 combo is nearly an identical match in terms of diameter and circumference which is all that really matters.

 

Ok so if I were to run staggered it won't freak out my awd, and I won't need spacers for the rims to fit without rubbing ?

 

No it won't cause problems. There are a ton of people doing it. I am running 19x9 F +(41) and 19x10 R +(37)

 

I'm not sure about the spacer in the front. If you have the bigger akebono brakes then you would have to and if you have stock brakes then you can get away without using spacers.

 

They will fit fine, the rears will be flush but the fronts (if you have +30) will need ~10-15mm spacers to be flush, this is all for looks of course, you can run this setup fine.

 

im running stag set up right now on my awd .10.5 in the rear with 275 and form 8.5 with i think 235 not to shure.justr got them put on last week.no problem as of yet lol.and th eback sits flush but not the front like he said gona need some spacers

 

Im about to pull the trigger with these rims tonight and I just Want to make sure everything will fit because i will be at a loss of money for a little while after this.

DO IT! Do IT! i love the afterburners..i have only seen them on one G Sedan to date.

and post pictures.

 

Did you pull the trigger on these? I'd love to see how it turned out bro.

 

I pulled the trigger however i ran into a jam. I decided to go all 20X8.5 but they only had three in stock, I keep getting mixed responses with the 20x10.5s rubbing, im not sure ive gone through the threads and saw the chart someone posted on what sizes rims people had on but im still not sure do u think its a good idea ? AND! is anyone selling afterburners by chance, lol im gonna look in classifieds but it was worth a try here
