03 Infiniti G35c 6MT + 19" Lowenhart BR5 = ?

I know this is an Acura forum but I could use some input regarding my Infiniti G35c and aftermarket wheels.

On g35driver.com, someone is selling a "new" set of Lowenhart BR5's.

Here's what the listing says:

"you are looking at a set of Chrome 19" Lowenhart BR5

The fronts are wrapped in Nitto NT555 235/35/19 at a 8.5 width

The backs are wrapped in Nitto NT555 265/30/19 at a 9.5 width

The life on these wheels are at about 95%. They will clear Brembos, these wheels have not been used for months. I have had these sitting in my garage. The wheels have NO damage to them at all, the most that is wrong is have some dust on the them. "

The seller doesn't know the offset of the wheels. They are 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

Will they fit my G without rubbing? How will the ride be on those tires? Will I be sitting on rubber bands? Thoughts on the BR5? Input, or other wheel suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for the help everyone!

ask for a pic of them on his g Also, the offset is generally stamped somewhere on the inside of the wheel- it is almost impossible to tell if it will rub or not without knowing the offset

it sounds like the wheels are from Lexus GS or IS.

First of all 19x8.5/9.5 would work if the offset is in the 30s F and 20s R. they will look flush... if the rear is 30s or 40s then They will FIT but it will look retarted.

2nd of all.. the best tire size for G35C is 245 35 19F , 275 35 19R or 285,295 30 19R

u will have some ugly ass gap in the rear with 265 30 19... even if your car is lowered.

to sum it up... YES IT WILL FIT and i am 99% sure it wont rub, but it wont look nice.

Thanks for the input!

The seller sent additional pics last night (but has none of them mounted on a G), and the offset is 31 on the F & R. I'm most likely passing on these. Thank you for confirming my doubts about the look.
