Will aftermarket M3 rims and tires fit my '05 RL

There is a guy that's selling some aftermarket 19"s that are 5x120. He's about 1 hour away and I've only seen pics and talked to him. He had them on his M3 (not sure what year). Would they fit my '05 RL. I know that the bolt patterns are the same, right? But I'm worried about spacing.

19xwhat? What is the offset? Who makes the wheel. Go back to the manufacturer and see what they say about the fit. They may not know, but unless you ask...

I would also worry about the tire size. What is it? Worry is too strong...consider the tire size...of course the wheel is the most important.

You may just have to drive there and do a test fit.

I believe they advise against it for the Acura AWD, but that said, others have run staggered setups on TL SH-AWD and RL, The minimum consideration is that the tires must be the same rolling diameter, which is how staggered should work, but people often do whatever they want...

Hi I was wondering the same I have some G37 staggered 19x8 /19&9.5

Hi Fellas, I wanted to know if 19' staggered from a g37 would fit on my 05 RL? Let me know what you think.

Staggered is generally not recommended for AWD. Bolt circle is wrong, and hub size is different, who knows about clearance? To my knowledge, no one has tried that combination on an RL

M3 wheels on this RL so the G37 wheels should work?

I found this RL on Cardomain with M3 wheels staggered and they fit.

As said before, the bolt circle and the hub are wrong sizes. You could try adapters or drill out the bolt circle. You would also have to check the rolling diameter against that recommended for the RL. You do not want to vary more than about 2% from that diameter.

or you could just ask RonJon to re-drill whatever wheels you want. He got Blazing GT hooked up with stock TL 17" rims.

You need to find out information on :
A- HUB sizes for those Nissan Wheels. Our RL hub = 64.1mm
( In case U have to buy hub rings )
B- Bolt Patter of nissan wheel (5x114 ) ours Rl = 5x 120
C- Off Set I beliebe everything over 35+ will fit. My M3 replica are Off set = 35 with front wheel wide =8.5
