19" Infinity G35 Rims
I bought some 19" Infinity G35 rims from the 05-06 model. They are 19x8 30et [225/40/19] and 19x8.5 33et [245/40/19]. No drop, yet need one : )
Need to change out the center caps.

Wow, I'm surprised that those wheels worked out with the offsets you gave. I would have expected them to stick out past the fenders. If you drop it, you may find out that you have rubbing problems. I also hope you used hubcentric rings. Looks good, other than needing to be dropped, if you can without rubbing. Can you post a daylight picture showing how they line up against the fenders? Thanks.

Rim shot from the floor up
I was trying to show the space behind the rim with 8.5/245 wheel/tires
This is the rear wheel gap from the left side of the fender.

I knew those would look great... You can always buy the Infiniti blank chrome center caps and cover them up with a scion or TRD center cap emblem/sticker. Are you using hub centric rings on there too? Looks great....

Tires are right out there to the edge of the fenders.
I'd worry about rubbing with a heavy drop.
You might consider one of these 3 sets:
Eibach Pro-Kit = 1"F/1.2"R
TRD = 1"F/1.5"R
Tanabe NF210 = 1"F/1.7"R
These are all factory specs for the drops; I accept absolutely no responsibility if you try any of these and rub.
Looking great so far!

More in depth explanation of what hub rings are and what they do:
Your wheel has a, more or less, female hub and your vehicle has the male hub. Ideally you want the hub on your wheels to fit barely over the hub of your vehicle. (within .01mm) If they don't fit this tight you can actually torque them down off center which will cause a vibration and can lead to other problems while you drive. There is no industry standard for hub size. Scion uses a different hub size for each of their vehicles. Honda uses different sizes and so does Ford and Chevy for that matter. Most after market wheel companies want to make their wheels so they fit as many vehicles as possible so they build their hubs large enough to fit the largest vehicles hub. They then include or sell hub rings to fill the difference if your vehicles hub is smaller. EX: Konig uses as 73.1mm hub size for most of their passenger wheels you would need a 73.1-60.1mm hub ring for your 08xb. For your case, you would need a 66.1-60.1mm hub ring set for an OE 350Z wheel to adapt correctly to fit a 2008 xB.
I hope this helps and doesn’t confuse you more.
