19" Axis Penta

I have been reading this forum since I bought my 2004 G35 Coupe IP last October but this is my first post. I have been searching for wheels for a while but can't quite decide. I really like the Axis Pentas and have decided to stay with 19" instead of going to 20", but I can't find anyone that has 19" Pentas. Is there a problem with this size or does everyone just want 20". If the 19" are O.K. what would be the right offset. I am going to have the staggered setup of 245-35-19 in the front and 275-35-19 in back. Thanks

I have on 19" on my IP, but they have weird offset. In order to make it flush, I have to put on 25 MM spacers all around (which in turn requires me to roll my rear fenders.) I believe the 19" Penta only has one offset. If I could re-do it, I think I would go with 20" cuz it has deeper dish.

with the 20", do you still need to roll the fenders, or no?

The offset for 20's are 25(F)/25(R), while the 19's are 35(F)/40(R). I think 20" Axis Penta's are perfect for our car, 19's offset is too weak. I read another thread a while ago, a guy have 19" penta's and regret not getting 20".

Hey guys.
I want to get 19" axis penta's on my g35x.
Do you guys know if 19x8.5 will fit on a 05 g35x? Am i able to get it all in the same offset? I have read that getting different offsets for an awd car isnt good. is this true? also the higher the offset the larger the lip is? thanks..

hey i have a question, if i get the 19's and get spacers ( i dont have it lowered) do i have to roll my fenders? or can i just get the spacers, mount them and theyre ready to go?

it really depends on tire width sizes and how thick your spacers are going to be.

Check out xXhotelcrazyXx, he has 19in pentas....but he had it painted completely black(or powdercoated, i forget).

Although +1 on the 20in pentas....the rear lip is insane on it and you don't have to dish out more money for spacers.
