Drill baby drill

So I have fell in love with a set of rims and think I want to get them..

http://www.mirowheels.com/111.html



I am going to go with the 19 inch which they give a few options for.

I first saw and fell in love with these rims after seeing this G37X:
http://myg37.com/forums/picture-shar...hotoshoot.html

I see he went with 9.5 ET33 but also commented on page 2 that if he didn't drop, he thinks they would stick out a bit. I have a 07 G35X and haven't dropped yet. I plan to use a Prokit in the future, but not sure how far from now. I don't want it to look silly in the mean time though.

From the research I have done, everyone is saying because of the offsets of the 5x112, I will need to go with the 5x120 and have the rims redrilled. Here are the options, what is everyone's professional (or more professional then me), opinion.

Here are the options:
19x8.5 5x112 32
19x8.5 5x120 15/35
19x9.5 5x112 40
19x9.5 5x120 20/33

From my research I have come up with 19x8.5 ET35, but I have only been on the forums for a week (only had the car for 4 days), and don't want to make a mistake on my first decision. I don't plan to do any heavy mods, I like the clean factory (but updated) look.

I appreciate the help greatly!

Chris

Are you a sedan I'm assuming?

They do make the converters which usually act as spacers as well. Always an option instead of re-drilling.

Yes, sorry sedan G35X.

I haven't heard/seen the converters... Are those reliable?
