Need help on wheel fitment on 2012 G37x sedan!

Trying to figure out if these wheels will work out on my X sedan. I know Might have to run spacers and what not but I;m not sure if its worth it I mind as well buy the IPL wheels for 1200 I know the IPL wheels will be staggered but not by much, any input from you guys on my decision.


Here are the wheels the specs are 19x8 I believe the offset is +38.

Looks like the offset is +58, you'd need at least a 25mm spacer to get a proper fit. Those wheels will require full reconditioning but if you like the style they will be a quality wheel when they're all redone. You could run a 245/40 tire on them.

Thanks blnewt! I'm pretty new to the g37 world just trying to get all my parts slowly and surely and bring it all together into one lol. Thinking about getting the Megan LP street coilovers, I believe you have them on yours? Might just pay the price for nice wheels, just want to do it right the first time. You got to pay to play right lol?

Those specs are super weak, won't be worth it.
If you're going to upgrade, find something at least 19x9 to 19x10 all around.
I square set of 370z Rays would fit well, not to pricey, and great quality.

I highly suggest passing on those wheels man they need full reconditioning as blnewt stated in his previous post. Also I'd recommend dropping the car prior to buying wheels bc you're going to have a bad wheel gap.

Post up an introduction of yourself and what kind of car you got in the newbie section of this forum so people can get an idea of who you are. Believe it or not you'll get more help in the future with an intro. Also welcome to the forums!

It's a good thing you ask the right questions, this wheel fitment stuff can be frustrating, and having an AWD can complicate things if you decide to run a staggered setup. Keeping it square (the same size all around) will keep it simple, shoot for offsets in the +30 range for 8.5" and go up in offset as you go wider.
Or just post on this thread if you find another set but aren't sure, one of us will butt in lol.

Also, why do these these "WORK Wheels" have a sticker on them that says "Made in Taiwan"? I know my wheels are stamped in the metal part of the wheel with "Made in Japan"...

From the eBay listing you posted:

I'd say classic forgery case but the ebay wheel does seem to have Work printed on the front...hard to tell if fake or nah. Once seeing Taiwan, that's a hard pass bruh.
