Need 19" Wheel Recommendation

Trying to see about some 19" wheels for G35x. Plain silver, no chrome, no black or colors. I would think the best bang for the buck is some used Infiniti 19" wheels but most of them are from the S models which have staggered setups with different widths in front and back. X has to be the same size front and back.

Any other suggestions as far as OEM looking aftermarket wheels that are decent quality for low price and don't look ghetto? And of course have the right offset as I'd like to avoid spacers. I'm assuming on an 8.5" (1" wider than stock) it would have to be at least 40mm offset or else it will not clear the brake calipers?

Wrong. Only the diameter has to be the same, the width can be different, including using a stagerred set-up. Get your best bang for the buck, and get some used 19" Sport Model wheels.

ive been running the G37S 19's staggered setup for 3 years on my X with no problems because i have the same sized tires all around to preserve the same rolling diameter.

you should be able to find a nice set for cheap on this site. GL

Get either the G37S 19s or the G35 19s.

Putting 19s on the sedan totally transforms the look of the car

G37's dont look right with 18s or 17s.

Well, if that is the case, can the X sedan run the same offsets as the RWD sedan? I would think they would be different since you can't get the different brakes on the AWD. And with the extra components up front?
