Arrow i own a 2005 g35x and i need a little help with rims

i own a 2005 g35x and im looking at the g35 coupe rims, now i was wondering if they would fit on my car because the person selling them says they should fit. here's the spec's on those wheels:

SPECIFICATIONS:

-Staggered Fitment-
Diameter: 19"
Width front: 8"
Width rear: 8.5"
Bolt pattern: 5 x 114.3

will this work on my X ??? a little feedback will help me from spending 1600.00 and not being able to use them, im kinda new to this stuff so i really dont know too much.. thanks in advance guys.

You cannot stagger on an X. Some people will say though that as long as your overall (wheel AND tire) is the same you're OK. I think that's probably true. Some people say if you are within 2% you're OK. I have no idea where they pull this number from.

You have however left out a very important stat - what is the offset of those wheels?

OK on the X thanks to an increased ride height we do have more room to play with however...those offsets are a little too aggressive and 45 series will **** everything up. You can go 40 however.

But that combo is way too staggered to take a chance on with an X.
And your speedo will be off by like 5 percent. That and the fact that it just won't fit.

Get all 4 wheels and tires the same and you'll have no issues plus then you can rotate em. My setup is in my signature and here are some photos everyone is bored of. When more X drivers with new rims post some photos or when I get off my a$$ and take some better ones we'll stop using these.

See Chico- I'm learning buddy!

NO. Same reasons except for the stagger issue. Offsets too aggresive, tires too high profile. You'll rub to a nub. And along the way your speedo will be messed up.
