Wanting your opinions on these wheels for my G. Please...

Admittedly, I haven't been on this board for quite some time after spending countless hours around the time of the purchase of my 04 Black sedan. I really need your opinions on these wheels though. It's getting time for me to replace my OE tires and saw these wheels/tires on Craigslist (figured I would price tire and wheel packages). Seems that he may be high but I like the style. No sizes were posted but I was thinking they would fit my sedan.

Those wheels are kind of played out in my opinion, but they still look good. Are you planning on buying that guy's wheels? Are you sure the offsets are correct for a sedan?

I have no idea what his sizes are, i've emailed him though. Like I said, I think he may be a little high. I'm probably in the minority but I still like that style wheel. I have to use some restaint because my wife drives the car alot and we're surrounded by construction. We'd be in counseling if she runs over another bag of cement on the road and I spent $$$$$ on badass wheels.

I have seen them alot, but they still look good to me. If you can get a good price I'd go for it.

This style looks great on a sedan IMO, but I don't think the off-set will work for you.

I had those on my sedan and miss them once in a while. just didn't like that they were 18.

I ended up selling them to a good buddy of mine who placed them on his Toyota Mini truck after dremiling the center...they look so good on it.

How can mesh wheels be played out? They're a classic design. The HP wheels look good, but they might not fit since they are on a 350z. BTW, that price is ok...you can get a new set for around $2000-2100 with tires.

Thanks guys. I'm a little rusty, I was thinking that the 350/coupe offset would easily clear. I'll have to get that nailed down first obviously and will probably buy new. You just never know when you'll run across a deal though.

Just from looking at how they fit that car they may be OEM spec offset so +33, +30 which would work on a sedan. Just wait till he emails you back with the offsetts...

I highly doubt those are going to fit. Even if they are a oem 350z offset if the fronts are 8.5" they won't clear...

They're 19s with a 38 offset. He didn't say anything about width. What do you guys think?

19's with a +38 should fit on the front up to an 8.5"
The rears will be good up to 9.5" and maybe 10" if you have a mild drop and roll your fenders.

another piece of the puzzle. Input please. Tire sizes are Front 245/35/19 and the backs are 275/30/19. I still don't have the wheel sizes. Can you guys decipher my mess of a thread and tell me what I would end up with by looking at my sizes combined with the Craigslist pic. Would my sedan look good with this setup? Offets are one thing but throw in tire sizes and i'm lost!
