Default Other makes that have same wheel fittment as the F?

I am brand new to the F game. I am in the market for a set of wheels. Would like to see if I could find a nice set of pre-owned that would work. It seems like there just isn't much action on wheels for sale in this forum or for this specific vehicle. My queston is what other brand/make(model) forums could I be looking at to find correct fittment wheels for the F?

I am coming from the Z world and have a set of LE37T's that I wish would fit but they are +22 offset. Everything I read says they would stick out beyond the rear fender too much.

Any help will be appreciated. Cheers.

Few of us came from 350z, had to sell my +12 te37s too...

For a nonstaggered set up (possibly a few even staggered), the more conservative Evo 8,9 fitments should work. +22 offset gives old people heart attacks here.

You will be safe with a 19x8.5+35 Front and 19x9.5+45 rear without any fender mods. You can always get custom wheels from ISS Forged, Forgedstar, Forged Specialist, Vossen, etc. Or just order new wheels with a higher offset from name brands: 5axis, axis, SSR, work, volks, etc.

You can get alot of ideas from the wheels and tires classified section. Maybe there, you will find something you're looking for.

thanks guys. but I guess my question is what other brand(MB, BWM, Infiniti) forums should I be watching for wheels. Like BMW, Acura, Benz... do any other models have similar wheel specs that would work on the F?

For example-Someone is selling their volks or whatever off their vehicle.

I really want some staggered SF-Winnings in 19's in the propper offset.

I'm running my F snow tires on the TSW 19s I had on my G37.

Mercedes and BMW don't even have the same bolt pattern.

True, I would also look at the G37 forums. They run staggered high offsets and they love volks.

thanks guys. seems like finding wheels for the F is more difficult than I expected. and the question that lingers on everyones offset seems rediculous to me as well. is there only like 40 people in the US with aftermarket wheels for the F, because thats what it looks like. it's all pretty frustrating.

Its not a common car to begin with. And then at least half the people are plenty happy with it in stock form. Thats why most go with custom 3 piece wheels made for the car.
