Quote: Hey guys. I'm looking into getting a set of wheels for my 20006 G35x sedan. I was looking into these and I'm just wondering, if they will fit, and if they are going to look good. They are 18 x 8. any suggestions would be good.

I'm 17 years old so I don't want to buy a set of $3000 wheels. If you guys have any suggestions on a nice set of wheels I'm open to them.

thanks.

This is what they look like on an Audi and I gotta say I'm not really feeling them.
Yes they will fit. There's nothing crazy about them and you're only going as wide as 8 inches anyway. Same rim size too and you're not going low. But I wouldn't get those. My friend has them on his Mazda Speed 3 and he ended up taking em off and selling them. They're not wheels that turns heads is what I'm saying. Good luck find the right wheels though. I know it's hard

Under 1k. Hopefully less. I know that narrows things down a lot. That's also without tires. 1k without tires

Do you plan on lowering you car? If so, with springs or coil overs?

What kind of build are you doing?

I'm just going to lower it a little so it doesn't look like a monster truck because the all-wheel-drive ones do. No camber, just Lower it straight down in inch or two. Probably looking at 18s or 19s

you can pick up a used set of varrstoens from the marketplace here for under 1k without tires but most people offere them with tires so it'll be around 1200-1300 w/ tires for used varrstoens

Hey guys looking for some fitment help. Not sure what sizing i'm going with yet.

But their 20x9 +15 20x11 +15
I'm rolling on a 03 Sedan lowered about 3inches all around on coils. I was gonna do 20x9s all around but i would like a wider wheel in back. so i think i'm gonna go with the staggered set up. Right now my fenders are rolled, i know the rears would have to be pulled for sure. What tire sizes should i run??? Not looking for a bunch of camber so pretty stretched!

19's for tires are going to be much more expensive but to me 18's are too small most of the time on our cars....18's will work just fine though if thats what you want

I also want basically a stock offset. i want them to look like they actually belong on the car, I don't want them to be diagonal

20 offset?
Hey guys. Okay I started a thread this morning about some good wheels for a G35X. I just found a pair on eBay but they are 20 offset and says they do not fit. I really like them and I'm just wondering is there anything I can do to make them fit?

The sedan OEM offset is somewhere around the +45 to +50mm range (I do NOT know if that's the same for the X, but use this as a starting point).

So these will "stick out" around 30mm more than stock (slightly more due to width difference of the wheel), grab a tape measure and see what that'll look like. Bolt pattern is fine so they'll bolt up no problem, I would bet you'll be fine.

Do you have any suspension modifications or are you at stock ride height? If you're lowered you may end up needing to roll fenders but if stock you SHOULD be OK.

Now you and I can both wait for second opinions, I'm really guessing but I think you'll be alright.
