will these fit?

Hey all i currently have some Te37's sitting in my garage and was wondering if they will fit my X. Specs on the wheels are
19" 9.5 +22 offset for the front wheels and 19" 10.5 +22 offset for the rear.
They came off a 350z so they are the same lug holes.

There are a couple issues here.

The front is ok.

The rear is going to require fender work (rolling and maybe pulling).

The bigger issue is that staggered fitments are not recommended for AWD purposes. Unless the tires actual rolling circumference is exactly the same, you run the risk of trashing your transfer case and messing with all the electronic gizmos (AYC, ASC, etc.)

Sell the TE's...

^Nobody is, because like gooygrin said, you cannot run staggered on AWD.

Well you can... a lot of WRX/STi guys run staggered in order to force the car to rotate a specific way. Heck there are Evos with staggered fitments too. It's just not something you really want to do on a street car if you can avoid it.

I run very stagered fits on my GT2 car but the driveline is set up for just that!

many 350z/370z/g35/g37s have the 19 in. te37 setup. so do some m3s and below is a porsche with te37s


only this isn't the concave face and the rear is 12in!

but 19in. te37s are very common, just not common on evo x.

If you are hell bent on using these wheels, you could get some 275/30-19 Pirrelli PZero Nero or similar that will work on both wheel sizes. The 9.5" wheel will mount these tires with no flex while the 10.5" wheel will look more stretched but really only 1/4" on each side of the wheel and many will say it should improve response with less sidewall flex.

I haven't really pushed my tires yet since it's way too freaking cold and I'm only test fitting them, but they should work ok. When the tire is at full lock it rubs the plastic fender wells slightly although as the tire wears that will become less of an issue as they have meaty treads. You are running +22 offset so compared to my effective +30mm offset after spacers you'll be 8mm outwards for a more flush look. This will likely require some fender rolling but nothing too extreme as many of the 18" wheels for the Evo X are +22 offset spec as well, the difference being that the 10.5" wheel will probably work best in the rear.
