I have a friend who also has a AE and he put the coupe wheels on his car. Looks sweet. He jus has to be careful going over large bumps because the the rears are 245s and they just clear. If and when i do get my set i plan to put 235s all around, prob S-03. Go on ebay and bid for the next available set. Caution: Everytime there is a set available one or two wheels are scratched. Let me know if yoou decide to get them.

Forgot to add the my friend has H&R and Koni's.

Never quoted myself before. Found a guy who is selling G35 18"s on ebay. If this is the same guy that posted on the G35 Driver site, then his reserve price will most likely be 1500.

good idea..... But it might be cheaper to buy aftermarket rims... plus are those stock G35 rims heavy

IMO i think the G35 wheels looks a lot better than this 350Z wheel...

I'd be more interested in the Brembo brake upgrade than the wheels. Since our rotors are only 10.7 inches in diameter (smaller than a civic) hence the rotors warping all the time. I need more stopping power.

These look very similar to the OEM GLE wheels, but in an alloy rather than chrome. Classy, but not sporty enough for my taste. I'm thinking the touring 350z wheels would look awesome. Thanks for posting!

they look GREAT on 5th gens!

now can we settle the fitment issue?

I too heard they rub in the rear, especially if lowered..

I've seen a 5th gen with Z touring 18's and the rear rubs, especially on a lowered car... the tires are too wide.. might work with a slimmer tire but still, it's going to be close..

but the g35c wheels are

and look amazing on 5th gens
hopefully they go down in value ..

1. Rotate tires at will!
2. No rubbing (hopefully)

If anyone with G35 18"s is running a thinner tire than 245 and still experiencing rubbing, please let me know.

The only trick is the offset. I feel confident that the wheels should fit. My friend Randall has proven that, so I won't worry about it. Good luck getting your wheels!
