Default Infiniti M45 19" Wheel question (again), please help??

Okay here it is. I have a 03 Z with the Eibach lowering kit (i bought it this way) and currently have 18" Infiniti Wheels on it.

I got a great deal on the Infiniti 19" wheels the other night. I won them on ebay for $1050.00 with tires. I couldn't pass it up.

They are (Infiniti description)
M35 Sport/M45 Sport 5-spoke, 8.5 x 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with 245/40R19. offset is +50 The lug pattern is 5-114

I don't know much about wheels and offsets (especially with my car being lowered). Will they even fit?? Will I have problems?? VDC issues? Spacers?? Tire height considering my Eibach kit?? I like the look of the wheel so if they can work that would be great. If not, I will just resell them and hopefully break even (damn impulse purchases!)

Anyway. I'd appreciate any help

Default addition to original post

One more thing, from what I have read, I believe the eibach kit drops the car 1.2"s (is this correct).

Just thought I would add that in.

that looks perfect IMO....19's on a 1.5 drop...it's kinda low but it won't rub since the tires are only 245 not like 295....

I am concerned about rubbing up and down as well as left to right ( against my suspension). Any thoughts??

get yourself some 15mm or even 20mm spacers

you have to bring it down to at least 30 - 35mm offset or you might better off selling them to someone on the G or M community

Thanks for the input Godmans,

Is it bad to use spacers at all??? What would you do if you were in my shoes regarding these rims. I do like them, but I dont want to cause problems.
