About This INFINITI Q50 Premium 2014 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This INFINITI Q50 Premium 2014 sits on a set of 20×8.5 / 20×8.5-inch Motiv Foil wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Motiv for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of INFINITI Q50 Premium builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the Motiv Foil creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Motiv Foil on the INFINITI Q50 Premium 2014
I walked around this Q50 for ten minutes just to soak in the lines. Putting a 20x8.5 setup on this chassis really changes the entire personality of the car. The Motiv Foil wheels sit perfectly flush with the fenders thanks to that aggressive +20 offset.
Most factory Q50 wheels tuck way too deep into the wheel wells for my liking. By pushing the offset to +20, we moved the face of the wheel out to the edge of the bodywork. It gives the car a much wider, more planted stance right out of the gate.
I checked the caliper clearance carefully when I saw it at the meet. These Motiv wheels have enough barrel depth to clear the stock Premium brakes without needing any messy spacers. The spoke design arcs nicely to provide plenty of room for the hardware tucked behind the silver finish.
The 20-inch diameter fills the wheel arches much better than the stock 17s or 18s ever could. We have a smaller gap now, which makes the whole car look lower and sleeker. It really highlights the shape of the fender arches.
Because the car sits on coilovers, the fitment is locked in tight. We dialed in the ride height to eliminate that ugly factory wheel gap. The suspension travel is limited, so we don't have to worry about the tires slamming into the liners during hard cornering.
I have to warn you about the front fenders, though. With a +20 offset on an 8.5-inch width, you are pushing the limit of the liner clearance. If you go too low on your coilovers, you might hear a slight rub on big dips or tight U-turns.
The hub bore on these Motiv wheels matches the Q50 perfectly. We didn't need any annoying hub-centric rings to get everything bolted up straight. It’s a clean, vibration-free setup that feels solid at highway speeds.
What We Recommend for INFINITI Q50 Premium 2014 Owners
If you want this look, stick to the 20-inch diameter. It’s the sweet spot for the Q50 platform if you want to balance aesthetics with daily driving. Anything smaller usually looks lost in the massive wheel wells of this sedan.
Don't be afraid of the +20 offset, but be ready to work for it. You need a decent coilover kit to make this fitment look right. Stock suspension makes this setup look like a monster truck, so drop the car before you buy the wheels.
I usually prefer a staggered setup for a more aggressive look on a RWD platform. However, the square 20x8.5 setup we have here is perfect for tire rotations. It keeps maintenance costs down without sacrificing that flush appearance we all crave.
Watch your tire choice carefully when running this offset. A thick sidewall will cause rubbing issues instantly on the front liners. I suggest a slight stretch to tuck the tire shoulder inside the fender lip.
Avoid cheap spacers at all costs. If you buy the right offset initially, you never need to mess with them. Spacers only introduce vibration and alignment headaches that you just do not need on a daily driver.
Style and Build Analysis
The silver finish on these Motiv Foils is a classic choice for a reason. It pops against the Q50’s body lines without being too flashy or loud. It keeps the build looking classy and refined while still turning heads at the local coffee shop.
The spoke pattern on the Foil model has a sophisticated, multi-piece aesthetic. It looks much more expensive than it actually is. The way the light catches the silver paint makes the wheels look like they are in motion even when the car is parked.
Proportions are everything in this hobby. By running 20s all around, we balanced the visual weight of the car perfectly. The Q50 is a big sedan, and these wheels provide the visual anchor it desperately needs.
I have seen dozens of Q50 builds, but many ruin the look with wheels that are too thin. This setup is bold and intentional. It makes the car look like it belongs on a magazine cover rather than a dealer lot.
This car sits just right. The stance is aggressive enough to look mean, but not so extreme that it looks broken or un-drivable. It is the perfect blend of street style and daily usability.
Why We Love This Build
This Q50 hits every mark for me. The silver Motiv wheels catch the afternoon sun, making the whole profile of the car look sharp and clean. Those 20-inch rims fill the arches perfectly, erasing the bulky factory look and replacing it with a tight, performance-oriented stance that demands attention.
I love seeing a car that looks this good without needing a wild widebody kit. The fitment is flush, the drop is dialed, and the finish is timeless. It proves that you don't need a massive budget to transform the entire vibe of your daily driver.
This build stops us in our tracks because it is honest and well-executed. It makes me want to grab my keys and hit the open road. Do yourself a favor and get this setup on your Q50 today.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to INFINITI Q50 Premium owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 20×8.5 / 20×8.5-inch wheels fit my INFINITI Q50 Premium? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of INFINITI Q50 Premium owners run 20×8.5 / 20×8.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
