G35 coupe rims, fit with no rubbing?

I've tried searching, but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I was wondering if the 18 inch g35 coupe rims would fit on a 5th gen max. I'm lowered with H&R and am worried about the 245/45-18 rear wheel rubbing in the back. Anyone have any experience with this? I've heard the 350z with the 30 offset just like the infiniti rims will rub in the back. Thanks in advance for any help.

What mods did you do for the rear tires. I have the 17s from a G35 and I get a little bit of rub every now and then.

you should be fine... go get those rims. i have the Z wheels and they are Great!! I'll post some pics later on where you have to trim inside the wheel well to get rid of the rubbing. I havent rubbed at all since I did it. Takes about 5 minutes to do.

Thanks for the input guys. ULISES, did you just have to trim the wheel well like mclee45? I am also thinking of maybe the 2004 18 inch maxima wheels now. 245/45 seems huge for tires though, but I think the offset would be more accomodating for the max. Anyone have experience with these and have any clue of how much they weigh?

look at my webpage on page 4 on where I trimmed the rear so the wheels wont rub at all. takes about 5 minutes to do with a metal saw.

They dont rub with 2 people on the car but if you add more
weight in the rear it will rub for some reason, it only rubs on
passenger side.


Yes, I only trimmed the wheel well like mclee45.

espically in front wheel drive, Is there any kind of torque steer or under steer when turning fast or plowing somewhere. I don't care if had rear wheel ie bmw or g35. how about getting two front wheels from g35c -that would be to hard to get! nice wheels!

why would there be? The drive wheels are what determine that and the size of the rear wheels shouldn't make a difference.
