Offset question/New to aftermarket wheels

Hey guys I'm new to the whole offsets/rims world as I've never purchased or owned aftermarket rims in my 20+ years of driving. I found a pretty killer deal on some 19" Falken Koblenz black rims and was wondering if they would fit my '12 non-sport sedan. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the specs:

+35 offset
19"x8 front 19"x9 rear.
114.3x5 Bolt Pattern
I'm lowered on Eibach pro-kit.

Also with those specs, what size tires would I have to purchase? The seller is selling the rims only.

Thanks for any help.

Those sizes are similar in the front and exactly the same rear as the OE 19" staggered set. Infiniti uses 225/45 front and 245/40 rear. This will give a little bit of a stretch fit. I run 245/40 and 275/35 respectively. More tread but a slightly looser turn-in due to softer sidewall action. With your offsets you should have no problem in the rear.

The big question is will the wheels clear the calipers. The cast-iron single-piston sets are easier to clear than the aluminum 4-piston Akebonos found on S models.

Non Sport Sedan won't have brake clearance issues, only additional purchases other than tires would be tapered/conical seat lug nuts, and hub adapter rings. Need to find out what hub bore the new wheels have and get adapter rings to fit the Infiniti 66.1mm size this will eliminate or decrease high speed vibration issues.

Most aftermarket hubs are 73.1mm but need to confirm prior to ordering the adapters. Aluminum sets on ebay are good, and affordable. Here's one example~

This is why I love this community. I don't ask many questions but when I do I get quick responses and straight to the point answers without the BS. Thanks guys!!

FYI these are what I'm considering.

Not 100% sure what the hub bore on those would be, I think a few other Falken wheels I've seen were 73.1mm, it's no problem adding those rings after purchase though. Glad you're happy w/ the site!
