Thanks man. I never really liked XXRs but the 526s are bad***! I do want to make sure quality is good. What wheels do u recommend? I want some that look similar with a huge lip in the back and maybe 1.5-2" lip in the front. I will also be getting some bc br coils sometime in the near future too. Being that it is my daily driver And it snows pretty bad up here I need the adjustability. My price range for rims is around 1200-2500$ . I also have a question about g37 sport 19s. Are they a direct fit onto the g? Will the fit the x? I could run those as my winter setup. Sorry for all the questions I'm just seeking assurance from all of you.

So in essence, it's not that you CAN'T but more that you SHOULDN'T go staggered. Check out the marketplace for wheels and save up a little more for at least a set that's forged, you'll be happy you did. Good luck man!
Plus you can swap tires around and they should last longer.

In a sense yes, depends how often you rotate. I swap mine side to side every 2k and they last me over 25k for summer tires. Just have to stay on top of it.

One thing I've learned from this site, when it comes to modding, that there are 3 different types of people: one that says get the top quality (wheels in this case - Work/Volk/SSR/HRE) or GTFO, one that's more conservative and doesn't want/need to spend 4-5k on wheels and goes with a middle class to suit their needs (Varrstoen/Enkei/Avant Garde), and the last that says do whatever you want it's your vehicle _ "to each their own".

What's awesome about the G is that pretty much ANY mesh style wheel looks fantastic! I personally love the mesh style over many of the other overdone styles. It really comes down to your taste and wallet. Keep looking in the marketplace here and definitely on Craigslist, you'll find something that gives you the look you want.

I have the 37 sport wheels on my coupe right now, required spacers. For the X I wouldn't think it'd need spacers but that would be the only issue from the offset being so high.

Hello. It's been a while! I have some Volk 20x9.5(+35) and 20x10.5(+37)'s and need to find out what size spacers I would need to get them flush. I'm not dropped, yet, but I am looking at lowering my car too. Thanks in advance!

Get the drop first, then it'd be easier to judge the room you have to push out.
Those are pretty high offsets so my guess for spacers would be around 15mm +/- 5.
Got any pics of how they sit now?

High teens to very low 20s so you can run good sized tires. Then you won't need to run spacers or make body changes...Gary

pick up someone's OEM 19"s
Most of us on here sell them with tires already.

Best of both worlds

G35X 2005. Standard suspension.
Currently with 17X7 ET 45 OEM wheels and 215/55/17
Will 17X7,5 ET 35 with the same tyres cause any problems?

I do not want to roll fenders, etc...

Thanks

Hey need help.
Im running 19 x 9.5 front 10.5 rear varrstoen rims.
I already decided on 245/35/19 front but I don't know if I should go 275/35/19 rear or 265/35/19.
The reason Im confused is because I have front and rear camber kit, and I'm trying to get as close to oem spec as possible but I'm pretty low on coilovers. Im tucking tires all the way around. I don't want the super aggressive stretched look and I like the look of 245/275 but I'm afraid if I run 275 and I'm as low as i am now that I will have to run additional camber just to avoid rubbing. I do have rolled fenders also.
Thanks
Which is best bet 275 or 265.

275's will work fine on a 10.5. You can even go wider to a 255 up front and 285 rear if you don't want too much of a stretch. But since you're low and you want to clear the fender you may want to stick with the 275. It will all depend on what your offsets are.

8.5 wheel with 28 offset will not be flush. I would go with a lower offset or wider wheel. A 9.5 wide wheel with low 20 offset will be flush without needing much fender modification (maybe a roll at most).

Stick with your OEM tire size, or use the tire/rim calculator to pick a tire size with an overall diameter similar to the OEM spec. 225/55 might be a little too tall.
