I just need some expert opinions on a set of wheels that I'm planning to buy for my '03 coupe with Brembo brakes. I really don't know much about wheels & tires so this is why I'm posting here.

Front: 2x XXR Sport Max Racing Type 006 18x8.5 Gun Metal (5-114.3/120 bolt pattern) +35 offset, 2" dish
Rear: 2x XXR Sport Max Racing Type 006 18x9.5 (I suppose the 9.5, not sure though but looks like it) Gun Metal (5-114.3/120 bolt pattern) +35 3.5" dish

However, the tires are:
245-45-18 in the front
275-40-18 in the back

What do you think of this match? How would it be a change from my OEM 18" prem. wheels? How would it affect the driving of the car?...or would it just...fit perfectly

please let me know

 

Any reason why your staying with 18's?

 

weak offset, will look as sunk as stock. but they'll fit. if you like the design and are getting a good deal, then be happy and go with it

 

Don't get them, that's the best advise!!!
Aftermarket 18's dont look right unless they are aggressive and even still some don't look right!!

 

I don't really have a choice to go with 18" or 19" cause here it's pothole land. Here's what they actually look like on a G.



If I am to get them, what would be some good spacers (size, make)?

Thanks in advance

 

30/30!!!

 

tire sizes are wrong and offsets are wack. 30mm spacers all around like Shane said

 

Are the offsets really that bad as compared to OEM 18"? I did a quick search and the spacers seem to go up to 25mms for the Gs https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-...available.html

If I get 25 mm ones, will I have to roll the fenders or will it all fit perfectly?

 

You're better off sticking with oem wheels.

 

I have to change my oem ones + tires are finished, so it's not that bad. So will the 25 mm spacers do just fine?

 

project kics makes 30mm spacers

 

Unless you're getting them for free just save the $ and find different wheels later on!

 

I found an interesting deal for these:

18x8.5 front 20 mm offset
18x9.5 rear 25mm offset
color: hyper black with chrome lip

will they be flush?

 

No.

 

Please do everybody (and most of all yourself) a favor and forget about those wheels. Spend $800 on a good set of Rays forged 19" OEMs, and maybe some spacers if you want them to sit flusher. They will be lighter, better looking, and much better made than any trash Sportmax puts out. Also as others have said, the offset on those Sportmax wheels is high as hell, will look really sunken in and ugly on your ride.

Don't pay to downgrade!!
