Max owners w/G35 coupe wheels...Please step in!
I know I've seen a couple guys on here with these wheels. Any fitment issues or rubbing in the back? What is the offset on these? I'm dropped on Tein S-Tech's right now, and might be getting a set next week. I love the way they look, and I'm willing to roll the fenders/qtr pnl if all I need is a little bit of extra clearance. I know I'll probably get flamed on for putting rear wheel drive rims on a front wheel drive car, but the price I'm getting them for is making it worthwile. Any info and pics would be appreciated.

I have a 2002 se maxima. I am on 18 g35 with h&R and illuminas. No rubbing issues whatso ever. but i believe tein's you might have rubbing issues. H&R dont go that low. I only rub when i go over large dips in the road or over railroad tracks going 50mph or more. going 40 is smooth sailing. I took it to the shop to find out why there was rubbing(only in the rear passenger side) said that my rear fender was a little unequally made so it sits lower than the right side. but it is a sweet looking ride and i love it. if you want pics let me know, i havent taken pics but i will.

They look excellent, but you're best off swapping out at least the rear tires to avoid rubbing.
I seriously considered these, and photoshopped a shot:

He said they would fit fine, and would not rub with 225-width tires, and probably not with 235-width tires.
He also said the "new from dealer" cost of this rim...omg....$800 PER RIM!!!
I'm keeping my eyes on the local junkyards....I'll get em 1 at a time if I have to.....whenever they show up.
BTW, there is a set of the G35C 18's with Pilot A/S tires on Ebay for abotu 1300 right now.
