How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
Infiniti Q70 OE Wheel Specs
The 2015 Infiniti Q70 (Sedan) uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 66.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 18x8J at ET43.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday fuel efficiency
- A widely used size in this segment, so tire and wheel availability stays strong
- Keeps unsprung weight low for stable, predictable handling
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake calipers and suspension components
Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, 20x9J ET32 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Infiniti Q70.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
20x10J ET28 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 18x8J ET43 → ~6.19″ backspacing
- Flush: 20x9J ET32 → ~6.26″ backspacing
- Max: 20x10J ET28 → ~6.6″ backspacing
A Note on Clearance
Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Infiniti spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Infiniti Q70? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
