Will These Rims Fit?

I'm in the market for new rims now and I just want somebody to double check to see if these rims will work for the G37.

Found a deal on Forgestar F14s

Front: 19x8.5 +32
Rear: 19x8.5 +32
Bolt Pattern: 5x112

Offsets are fine but the rear width is slightly smaller than my stock 19" Sport wheels and bolt diameter is also a bit smaller on the F14s.

Does the difference mean that the rims can't be fit onto my car?

wrong bolt pattern. you can get adapters, but not really worth it for kind of wimpy sizing.

How much would those cost? Would it be any different than getting the correct bolt sizing? And what do you mean by wimpy sizing?

hi
the adapters run about 30 dollars per wheel for decent ones. as for the wimpy size.....I would guess that they were referring to the smaller width 8.5 inch is a bit smaller that stock on the front wheels, and a whole lot smaller on the rear wheels. I like a nice wide tire front and rear, but each to his own.
As for what you should do, it's a matter of what is better for your car, and how YOU like it. If an extra 120 bux or so is no issue, and not having the widest tire that will fit, then proceed and enjoy your new rims. I always tend to believe you don't need to convince yourself to make the right choice.
cheers

Ahh thank you. One more question. I just decided to get mine from a dealer for normal price. The size is 19x9.5 for front and 19x10 for back. Is it possible to use the stock tires on my stock rims and put them and the forgestars? The wheels only have 4k miles on them.

Hi again
The 9.5" and 10" width sound a whole lot better than those 8.5" bicycle wheels you were looking at in the original post......lol. like I said It's all a matter of personal taste. I like em fat an wide....lol
As for the tires as long as they will fit on the rims I see no reason not to use them. It would be a huge waste to toss out a set of tires with only 4000 k on them.

cheers

Update: Decided to just pay full price for rims. They're coming in about two weeks from now. Pictures will be posted as soon as they're on.
