Wheels were purchased from original owner with the car and I am unsure of offsets.

Could anyone please guide me in the right direction so I could order the correct size needed? I am sending the wheels off to be refinished and will need the rings prior to.

Thanks in advance!
Here's the one's you'd need, but if you can find aluminum ones that would be better if you do a lot of wheel removals.

Call up discount direct auto and tell them the size you need. They have them in aluminum and in my opinion they are a hundred times better than the plastic ones.

One more basic question:

I'm looking at getting a set of the 19-inch OEM sport wheels from the G37 coupe. Is there anything I need to do/know or are they pretty much a direct fit? Also, what size tires are most AWD sedan owners running on those wheels? I was thinking 245/45 all around. Yay? Nay?

They're staggered but it's only a 1/2" stagger so running 245/40/19s all around is what you want.

Would there be any reason to run 225's up front?

A little quicker turn-in but having AWD I'd stick w/ those 245s all round.

I'm praying I can migrate my wheels from my G35 that was recently totaled..

I don't know the offset of the front but they are 20x8.5 /w 255/30's the rears are 20x10.5 +29 /w 285/30's..

Could someone give me some input on if I'm already doomed or is this doable?

Welcome to the site, sorry to hear about that G35 (hope no one was hurt).
If you have a coupe those should be "workable" maybe a bit more camber, a sedan would require fender mods, at least in back.
If you have an AWD those tires are way off diameter-wise front to back.

Can't really get any better than that w/ a staggered setup, and should look great too
I assume you're dropped.

Any thoughts.. I am really not liking how they look.. I am still on stock suspension but pushing down on the suspension to try and get some tuck didn't really do much for me..

The rears are 20x10.5+29 /w 285/30's

These were originally for my G35.. I spent a long time getting everything set and then some ****head rear ended me and totaled it.. NEVER got to put them on the car.. so depressed..

Is that a Sedan or Coupe that you have now? By the look of the poke I'm guessing a sedan. Looks like you're going to have to run a stretched tire and heavier camber to get it to look better but the rim edge will still be outside the fender.

That's the sad part.. it's a RWD Coupe.. I'll revisit once it's lowered any change in your thought since it's a Coupe? I'm contemplating these: http://www.ilovebodykits.com/product...k_1_pair_.html

I spent ~$2500 on new barrels, powdercoating, and new tires.. so far in that I can't back out now..

Tommie,
If you don't mind running heavier camber you should be able to get those to tuck in with enough drop. There is plenty of guys in the hellaflush thread that are running setups more aggressive and making them work. Might check that thread and post your setup, one of those guys should be able to help.
