chances are those RWD wheels are designed for an SUV

which means they weigh 50 pounds a pop.....if you drove sanely you prolly wouldn't have a problem, but your car would be slow as $hit

I'm not sure what you meant by "designed for an SUV," but I have G35C's on my 5th gen, and because of the lower offset, I had some rubbing issues in the rear. But, when I changed the tires to a smaller 235/40/18, the problems went away. I'm on Tein S-Tech's by the way.

I ran a RWD staggered setup on my 5th gen on S. Techs. 19x9.5 in the rear to be exact. Oh with a 275/30/19 tire. Its all about offset when it comes to the right fitment on a 5th gen. Get something around 35-40 and 19x8.5 they will look work it doesn't matter what it says RWD/FWD.
