Guys Please Help Fitment Question

Just got my M45 Sport Rims 19x8.5 50mm offset. I put them on my G35 Coupe AT. They fit just right but to its capacity. Question is if i use a 5mm h&R spacer in the front will it be ok and clear.

Thank You in advance.

Why would you use a wheel that simply isn't made for your car? The offset is way too high, unsafe, not practical and the car probably looks odd. I would not even put those on a sedan that have an oem offset of +45.

I seriously doubt a 5mm spacer will clear your brakes Brembo or not. My best advise will be to get another set of wheels, but if you're really wanna risk it, take it to a shop where they can properly take measurements and then decide what size spacer you need to use.

Good Luck!

What I meant was will it rub on any of the suspension pieces with a 5mm H&R spacer.I have put them on and they clear my non-bermbo breaks by about 3mm.
Thank You
