Offsets equal between X and RWD?

When buying wheels, can the offsets be the same with a X and a RWD car? Is the suspension/brakes/ etc more or less the same except for maybe the hubs being different to accept the front axles? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

X and RWD take high offset. RWD takes mid off set on old model
for your X i recommend any size rim w/ 8.5 width +38 to +42 offset.
i had the X as well and had 22"x8.5 +42 w/ 255/30/22 looks best but very scary ride.
now i'm having 19" w/245/40/19. but plan to go 20" w/245/40/20.
i'm having my rims shop so i can try, change and resale whenever i want.
check out the pics in my garage.

X doesnt have BBK, so pretty much anything will fit.

As far as flushness with the fender is concerned, its the same as RWD.

Cool, that is what I was looking for. I'm looking at wheels that are either +35 or +38 was afraid the offsets would need to be a little higher. I think the older, first edition G35's had to have a higher offset than the standard RWD cars.
