Wheel spacers to fit G35 rims?

I have a set of G35 rims. I purchased them before finding out that there were fitment issues.

The fitment problem for the front is not a concern for me since I can just install the wheels without the center cap.

The rear wheels are a different probelm because it seems the center hub ring on the car is slightly bigger (or rather, contoured differently) than that of the wheel.
I was wondering if adding a wheel spacer, and thus installing a different shaped center hub might resolve the probelm.

I know others have honed the rims to make the fit but that's out of the question for me since I will have to use these rims on a different car later on.
I want to keep it in original form.

Does anyone know if adding the spacer will correct the rear fitment issue?

Unfortunately I've read mixed reviews with the G35 rims from the stick thread in the Rims forum. I really want a set so I'd like to know the details as well.

Where did you get these wheels? You sure they are real Infiniti wheels vs replcias? All Nissan/Infiniti oem wheels feature the correct hub bores to fit each other. I've run G coupe, Z track, Z tourings on my 3-gen with absolutely no issues with the hub bores.

Seems you got jipped. Any wheel pattern of 5x114.3 will fit our cars without a problem. And it seems to me like your saying that they will bolt up but it loose which means there something wrong with the wheels. Their either not OEM or they have been modified.

Not correct. Ie... toyota has 5x114.3 but their oem wheels will NOT fit due to hub bore differences.

Yea. I didn't know that was the cause of the problem.
Mine are not OEM.
They are replicas.
They do not fit.

Will adding a wheel spacer change the bore size of the hub?
