They might look decent, but bear in mind that the 19x8.5s have an offset of +50mm and the 18x8s are +47mm. Our stock wheels are 17x7 +45mm. Use the wheel calculator in the Stickies to see how they fit.

Around what price did you pay for them? And did you had to shave the inside of the wheels for them to fit and do they rub?

Shave the inside of the wheel? I thought people just used spacers...

The M45 19" don't look bad, but they're not wow to my eyes. I still prefer the 350Z or G35C 18's. Or, my favorite 19's on a Max (Lowenhart BR5):

Does anyone know if the 06 M45 18x8 47mm offset rim would fit with no problems?

Has anyone seen this done or have any pictures?

I just purchased some 06 M45 18" rims for my 01 Infiniti I30!

Thanks Puppetmaster. I've seen this before. It says i have:

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 26mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 12mm

Problem being i still dont know if they will fit.

BTW i have the stock 16x6.5 40mm offset rims. Im try to get tires 235/40 18 with those M45 18's.

Use the measurements it gave you and see how much clearance you have with your stock setup. If you don't have 26mm+ clearance between the strut and the inside edge of the wheel then it won't fit. If you have the clearance it will. Extending outward 12mm is nothing.

Exactly. I'm guessing spacers might be needed, something like 15-20mm maybe.

Or even better, ask bsuccess1 and anyone else who has em....

1) This has to do with your personal preference
2) You have to make a donation towards the org in order to be able to search i believe i could be wrong tho.
