question

will 19x8 front and 19x8.5 rear wheels fit on the ms3?

[Mike240SX]

You do realize the car is front-wheel-drive, right?

[Wastegate13]

Without knowing specs on the wheels or what tires you want to run no one can help you. If the wheels are 5x114.3 then yes, they will physically bolt onto the car but depending on offset and tire size you probably won't be able to put tires on the wheels.

^^lol, great answer! "sure those wheels will fit..... too bad tires won't"

He's probably right.

Why are you choosing to have a staggered wheel combo. There will be no benefit since it is front wheel drive. You are actually going to loose performance, drivability, comfort. I would say big fail. Show car/trailer queen???

[duy856]

they are forged 19" oem g35 wheels.

I'd be concerned about offset and centerbore. Most times, rear drivers have a very low offset in the rear. I'd wager it would rub pretty badly.

will 19x8.5 front and 19x8 rear wheels fit on the ms3?

corrected

Did some digging and it looks like the 8.5 has a 33mm offset and the 8 has a 30mm offset.

dude the stock rays g35 wheels are some of the SICKEST stock rims out there, if they fit they will look good, but with those offsets and width I dont think they will.

[duy856]

so they wont fit?

Not a snowballs chance in hell.

well some guy is supposedly running some 35mm offest 17x9 wheels so the infinitys might fit in that regard but the problem that arises is that mazda centerbor is 67mm and the nissan center bore is 66mm so you need to have them just slightly bored out to fit.

Who is running 17x9 35et? I know of 3 cars running 17x9 45et but 35 is insane.

I am pretty sure it's 35. This guy named laloosh has them I believe he has rpf1s and I didn't think they came in a 17x9 45mm.

No, laloosh, dazed_and_confused and buildabong are all running 17x9 45et rpf1's. Loosh was running a 235 and dazed was running a 245.

my bad.

[Wastegate13]

my bad.

Not a problem, you had me all excited about the 35 offset. I <3 aggressive wheel fitments.
