Will Maserati Wheels fit the G?

I looked up the pattern and its 5x114.3 but the offsetts are slightly high. Front wheel is 20, width 8.5 offset 52, rear is 20 width 10.5 offset 37. Anybody tried that before?

Yes, roll your rear fenders.

^ I'm sorry but if don't know what you're talking about, don't respond and give bad advice...

IMO, the offsets are terrible.

You'll want at least a 35mm spacer up front (personally I'd go larger if I had to run the wheels) The rear you could run up to a 15mm spacer and be fine without a roll, however.... I'd roll the rear and run a 20mm spacer.

If you look at his threads made, he has a coupe for sure.

I found some maseratti wheels and pretty cheap and are 20s with new tires and design is pretty unique, but didn't with those high offsetts what would the deal be. They are especially high in the front, but they are wider than stock, so If I don't do spacers it won't clear brakes?

it might not depending on wheel design. But the worse part will be how they look, it will be totally sunk into the wheel well.

They'll work but they're going to tuck like OEM wheels. The fronts more than the rears. I'd use spacers, but if you don't mind the sunken look then go for it.

Front offset of 52 is going to be way worse than oem's, I would be surprised if they cleared without spacers. Even the rears' 37 is worse the oem.

Depends if it's a coupe or sedan. If it's a sedan, the sedan uses a 7.5 +45 offset. Would be equivalent to running an 8.5 +57. If it's a coupe it will tuck way more than OEM. OP didn't specify and I assumed sedan, my mistake on that part. Regardless I'd go with spacers at least up front and for a good look, a smaller one in the rear.

+52 on coupe is crazy.... That's like at least in the range of a 40mm spacer

You don't really understand how offset and width work do you?

The rears are a lot more aggressive than OEM 20mm more aggressive to be exact...

Again, guys, if you don't know what you're talking about don't offer advice.

Misread the wheel widths as 8.5 all around, I know a decent amount on wheels. In any case 10.5" +37 is still extremely pathetic
