G-35 coupe rims

will G-35 rims fit on our cars? i know the bolt pattern is correct but will the offset be right since it is RWD? and yes i realize two will be wider so it will be a PIA since i cant rotate the tires.
i found 4 on ebay for $500

Yup, they'll fit. Though some have had rubbing issues when running 245's in the back. I'd recommend running 235 all around so you can rotate. A couple guys on the org are running these and I've been seriously considering. See this thread for details and pics: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=274817

Be sure to post if you take the plunge. I'd love to see more shots!

I was running the 225/45-18 & 245/45-18 setup on my max with my old 350Z rims and they looked hot. It got rid of that indent in the rear (the edge of the wheel and tire sat flushed with the fender). The downside of it was I had to be very carefull if I had passengers in the back. If you have are dropped and have adjustable shocks, you may want to put them on the stiffest setting. If you want to see some pics. I'm sure I can find some.

Yo soonerfan,

Be sure to go review the thread housecor provided. Already got the wheels only. I just have to save money for the tires. it's gonna be awhile. Be prepared to bid, cuz those wheels w/ tires go for at least 1500. Highest i've seen is 1800. Go luck bidding!

Hey Jeff92se. I apologize again. Apparently my PM was incorrect. The wheel is actually 30lbs. I don't know where I got 22. I found the info in the G35 fourms. Hope this helps.

I would appreciate some pics cause I want to buy a set. It would be a great help to me and my '97 SE.

housecor posted a link above to a previous thread. Check out the second page. Only have pics of 5th gens. If you get them you'll probably be the first 4th gen to have them. As far as fitting, I think you may have to get 235/40/18s all around. 245s may not fit. Recommend you do some reaserch. Best bet for G35 18"s is ebay.

i have the 350Z enthusiast wheels. they look sweet. little rubbing on hard bumps but took care of it by trimming the well a little. now it doesnt rub at all. Thinking of selling the wheels though. going for lighter ones. i have 4 17X8 wheels. I bought 4 rear wheels so i dont have a mismatch set. they have 235/50/17 tires on them and no rubbing. How much you htink i can get for my wheels

I thought about the g35's but the se 18" on black looks alot better. What do you think?

I assume you're talking about the 04 18"s. Those wheels are not bad. They are 18X7.5 and probably weigh less than the g35 18"s. The bright silver/machine finished look matches better with darker colored cars. Since i have a silver car, I would choose, hyper-silver/black or polished wheels. i don't like chrome or gunmetal.
