they would look good but would they fit?

Offset + 9.5 wheel = ???

Or you can get same rims I have and paint them gunmetal.
They are basically the same minus 2 extra spokes and 1" width.

No deus, these pics just don't do those rims justice.
Seeing these rims in person makes want to J*** in you pants.
They would be amazing but fitting them in would be crazy.

They said they dont stock them yet and could only tell me the +45 offset for the fronts.

Id buy FX wheels instead...


Edit: The new 20" Murano wheels dont look too bad either.

wow +45 would definitely need spacers. They do look good on a maxima though. Looks classy too imo.

I doubt very much they are real as they are forged and damned rare. I'd go with the either Z tracks or the new 370Z that features forged wheels. Not sure about the offsets though. Nowdays, Nissan puts out some fairly aggressive offsets for their RWDs

They're not real...

I mentioned GT-R replicas a few times when I called.

He didn't argue.

Well even if they are replicas, which is what they appear to be, I think they would look great in hyper charcoal. And its true, the real GTR wheels are gorgeous. This pic does not do them justice. But it gives you some sort of idea of what it would look like. I wonder if the replicas look as good. Fitment would be an issue too but I think spacers would help offset the offset (pun intended).

I say go for the GTR style wheels...the color on them would look sick on your ride and the width is just an advantage aesthetically....IMHO G37 19" wheels are uggglyyy on maximas...just too many spokes and they are too thin

A set of the real R35 rims would look stupid on a FWD car. Fatter tires on the back? Yeah, that makes sense.

Then again, I suppose you could swap ends...

Unless your going to be drag racing your 6th gen, i dont see why you wouldnt want the fatter tires in the rear.

I think the best set up would be 4 front GTR rims on the car so they dont stick out as much in the rear.

My point exactly. The whole reason for the wider tire pair is that they provide the primary drive wheels--either two or all wheel drive--with the larger contact patch...where it's needed the most. It looks wrong and defies any functional logic when the drive wheels are actually at the other end of the car.

you are semi right, our stock front wheel are ~ 7.5.- 8" wide, gtr fronts are 9.5" wide (huge advantage grip wise over stocks (and about the same weight) , that would be the widest you would want to do for your steering wheels, rears are 10.5 and even though they are not my drive wheels, 1 they give me more grip and a wider car for better cornering 2 they look good and 3 just like a lot of mods out there, (spinners , 22s, grills,etc..) they don't have to be functional, people get them just cause they look good,

25lbs for the real wheels, and im guessing 34-40lbs for replicas, besides the way lower quality.
