Default G35 Wheels Help!

Hey folks, I'm sure I'll catch some crap for my first post so I'll apologize right now. LOL

I was gonna buy these fore my 98 gs400 but I'm not sure they will fit with no extras.

I've seen lots of GS's with G35 rims on them here but I would like to know from you guys if I should get these.

Thanks so much!!!!

They bolt right up, and have pretty decent offsets, too. Probably one of the better fitments out of the stock wheels that would fit the 2GS.

PS. I drive with these on my GS everyday, all day. ...until I can afford some forged 19s with a bigass LIP in the back!!

Haha. No I'm not a girl. I should change my username.

Do you guys think 17's are to small? Would they look retarded?

I've looked at hundreds of pics here and not many, if any have 17's.

The guy wants $700.

If you guys have a better/cheaper idea, I'm game

Id do 18"s at minimum. I think 17"s are too small.

For comparison's sake, I paid $300 for the set of rims and tires in great shape about 6 months ago. Pass on the $700 -- keep looking.

18s are a minimum, definitely.

Thanks so much for the heads up on that price.
I will most def take your advice.

I would do $300 in a second.

Hopefully I find a deal like that.

I saw these for $350. 245/45 R18 off an 03 G35.


Will these fit without spacers?

Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.

And make sure to get hub rings or you may feel vibrations at certain speeds. You'll need a 66.06-60.06

yessir.

You gotta get hub rings. These are a perfect fit:

Also... you gotta go to a wheel/rim shop and get the right lugnuts and you're good.

side note: spacers if you want, but that's on you.

The hub rings and the lug nuts are not optional.

Oh yea... 700 is too much.
