Need help deciding if these wheels are worth the price

Hey guys, I'm a little bit of a newby with this stuff and I need some help.

I'm looking at possibly buying Stance SC-6 wheels and tires for $1,550. I plan to only use these in the spring and summer time and switch back to the stock wheels and tires on my 2012 G37x sedan in the fall and winter, which has not been modified at all.

The specs for the wheels are:
Front - 9.5x20 +20
Rear - 10.5x20 +26
114.3 pattern

Tires:
Front - 245/30 Falken FK-452
Rear - 305/35 Goodyear Eagle F1GS-D3
The tires have 95% tread remaining

Would these be worth the $1,550 (one wheel has a 1" rash on it)? Would these even work out well with the car?

If you had a coupe those offsets could work, they're way too aggressive for a sedan, especially w/ those strange tire matches.

For your AWD you could go 20x8.5 +40 w/ 245/35/20 tires or 20x9 +45 in front and 20x10 +45 w/ 295/30/20 or 20x10.5 +45 w/ 285/30/20 this would keep your diameters close enough to your stock tire diameter to keep your AWD, traction control, ABS, and speedometer in range. The tires you listed are way off in diameter, w/ the front tires significantly smaller in diameter than the rear. Use this calculator when choosing new tire sizes, w/ your AWD you really want to be within 1% of your OEM diameter. There's plenty of good tire deals in our marketplace w/ offsets & tires better suited to your X, patience will be rewarded

FWIW using the calculator for the tires you listed would result in your front tires being 2.6" shorter in diameter, this would ruin your AWD system

No problem, feel free to post any more tire/wheel fitment questions in this thread. Like I said the marketplace on this site is a great place for wheel/tire deals that will work w/ your car.
