It would be cheaper to get spacers instead.

You can run stock 17's with spacers iirc.
You can also run stock 3GS 18 G-spider wheels. You may be able to get away with other 3GS 18's.

I think the stock offset is +45. The g-spyder got the same offset too with much aggressive looks.

oem isx50 wheels will work. any of the staggered 18's. they clear is350 brakes and i had to run r disc wheels to clear those damn things.

actually g35 wheels are about the same price if not a couple hundred more. i say go g37s wheels. you get wider wheels better offsets and bbk clearance for like 1k with tires.
