I got a good deal on wheels.. i just need to know if they fit. help
I can pick up some stern wheels 20x8.5fr 20x9.5rr for $450 with tires. the thing is, he's had them on his 350z. now i know it's the same bolt pattern, i don't know if the offset will work. can anybody tell me if they would work?

You're right. Those tires would be big on the GS, a 255 is pretty wide in the front and the 45 aspect ratio is very tall for our cars.
Most wheels have the offset stamped on them somewhere, have him take a closer look. If you like the wheels, they may still work with different tires.

what's the offest.... if it's a 20x8.5 and 20x9.5, for the most part it will fit... unless it has an offset of +15 (front) or+20 (rear) or less.... then you might rub a bit... nothing a little roll couldn't fix though.

Tell him to go into his garage, flip them over to expose the back of the spokes and tell you what it states. Should be:
PCD 114.3x5, made in ..., ET XX
It takes a whole 30 secs to find out!
Personally, i cannot stand morons like this, regardless of how a 'good deal' it is. If a seller cannot tell me what i want to know, i will pass it up and not play a guessing game; risk not having them fit, and risk not being able to resell for the price I paid [in the rare event i pull the trigger anyways]
GL!

since the wheels are off the car...all the seller needs to do is to take a pic of the spokes...one of the spokes should have a number stamped behind there for the offset.
Something similar to this...+38 offset in this pic.
