About This INFINITI Q50 Premium 2016 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This INFINITI Q50 Premium 2016 sits on a set of 19×10.5 / 19×10.5-inch ESR RF2 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose ESR 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 ESR RF2 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: ESR RF2 on the INFINITI Q50 Premium 2016
I walked up to this Q50 at the last meet and immediately locked eyes with these ESR RF2s. Running a 19x10.5 setup all around is a massive statement on a chassis like this. That +30 offset pushes the face out right to the edge of the fender line. It gives the car an aggressive, planted look that stock wheels just cannot touch.
The width on these wheels provides a deep, concave profile that really pops. Since we are rocking a 10.5-inch width, you get that serious barrel depth that makes the car look wider from every angle. The design flows perfectly with the body lines of the 2016 model.
Clearance is always the big question when we talk about wide wheels on the Q50. These ESRs clear the factory Premium calipers without needing any spacers. The hub bore matches up nicely too, so you avoid those annoying vibrations at highway speeds.
Running the same width front and rear makes rotating your tires a breeze. However, you have to watch the front inner clearance. At +30 offset, the rim sits very close to the suspension uprights and brake lines.
The lowering springs tighten up that massive wheel gap the factory left us. This drop brings the fenders down right over the tire shoulders. It creates that sleek, tucked look that every enthusiast chases on these platforms.
Watch your front fenders if you hit a dip while turning hard. Because these wheels sit so flush, the tire can graze the liner or the fender tab if your alignment is off. A quick fender roll or a slight pull keeps everything safe.
Overall, this setup transforms the car from a luxury sedan into a true road-hugger. The geometry feels sharp and the stance is spot on. I have seen a lot of wheels on this car, but this square 10.5 setup wins.
What We Recommend for INFINITI Q50 Premium 2016 Owners
If you want to replicate this, listen closely to our advice. Stick to a 19-inch diameter for the best balance of looks and ride quality. Going to 20s often ruins the ride on these springs, making the car feel way too twitchy.
For the offsets, stay between +30 and +35 to keep the wheels flush without poking too much. Anything lower than +30 requires serious fender work that you probably want to avoid. We see too many guys go aggressive and end up ruining their paint.
Staggered setups are fine, but a square 10.5 setup like this is our favorite. It gives you the ability to rotate tires and helps the car rotate better through corners. Just make sure you run a slightly narrower tire in the front to avoid rubbing.
Speaking of tires, do not go too wide on the sidewall. A 245 or 255 width tire is the sweet spot for a 10.5-inch wheel. It gives you a mild stretch that looks clean and keeps the tire clear of the metal.
Avoid cheap spacers if you can help it. Buying a wheel with the right offset from the start saves you a massive headache down the road. Quality wheels always balance better and handle the abuse of daily driving much longer.
Style and Build Analysis
The Bronze finish against this body color is a masterclass in contrast. It adds a touch of motorsports heritage to an otherwise refined luxury sedan. Sunlight hits the Bronze powder coat and brings out a depth that standard silver or black wheels completely lack.
The ESR RF2 design is simple, elegant, and timeless. The split-spoke pattern highlights the inner barrel while keeping the face open and airy. It is a design that does not scream for attention but commands it anyway.
Proportions are everything in this build. By dropping the car on springs, the owner allowed the 19-inch wheels to fill the arches perfectly. There is no awkward gap, just a clean transition from fender to rubber.
We see plenty of Q50s with garish, oversized wheels that look like they belong on a cartoon. This build stands out because it respects the factory silhouette while adding a layer of grit. It feels intentional, like something the factory should have built.
The road presence is undeniable. When this car rolls through the parking lot, people stop and look. It is that perfect mix of "clean daily" and "track weapon" that we strive for at WheelFront.
Why We Love This Build
This Q50 makes my heart beat faster every time it rolls past the shop. The Bronze ESRs catch the late afternoon light and glow against the dark paint of the chassis. Everything sits so flush that it looks like the car was carved out of a single block of metal.
We love that the owner chose a functional setup over a purely aesthetic one. You can tell this car gets driven hard on the weekends. It strikes that rare balance between a comfortable cruiser and an aggressive street machine.
Building a car is about finding that one piece that ties the whole vision together. These wheels are exactly that piece for this Q50. This is the definition of a build done right.

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 19×10.5 / 19×10.5-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 19×10.5 / 19×10.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
