I found a seller selling G35 wheels.
18" 7 spoke coupe wheels
18x8, +30 offset
All 4 wheels come with 215/40/18 tires.
I currently have 16" oem wheels with 225/55/16 tires.
Are the 215/40/18 tires ok with the GS? Are they a bit small? What will I notice when driving?

About to pick up some Works this weekend and was wondering what I would have to do for these sizes
Front: 19x9.5 +14
Rear: 19x10.5 +14
Currently the fronts have a 235/35 and the rears 265/35
i was hoping i could fit the front with the current tires and swap the rears to some 245/35 or i could swap the 235s onto the rears and get some 215s for the front. What do you guys think?
i plan to run camber and have fenders rolled and pulled.

Well... if you're going to have your fenders rolled and pulled as you say, then that's pretty much the extent of any work that you'd need. But, if you're going to do that then why swap the tires at all? I'm pretty sure those are the same sizes Puff is using and it looks perfect [to me].
Oh ok,with a roll, pull and some camber i could fit the 265/35 in the rear?
i'm new to the GS fitment game so im not familiar with its capabilities haha and do you know where i can find some pics of Puffs car?

Yeah, they can be found in his build thread. He also posted one of his photoshoots here:

Need help with these used rims/wheels Im interested in buying.
I am a newbie when it comes to rims/wheels and I have some questions I like to ask you rims/wheels experts. I tried searching for answers but I couldnt find any for my specific situation. I have a 2003 GS430 and I have a friend that wants to sell me his 20" chrome rims from his Infiniti G35.
I was wondering what modifications or parts do I need to buy to get the wheels to fit properly. I noticed that the threads where you mount the lug nuts seems short as you can see in the picture. I not sure if that is normal. I also noticed the center hole of the rim is slightly bigger than the round/circle of the hub/rotor of the car.
How much will it cost me to get the rims to fit and in your opinion is it even worth it for me to spend money on getting them to fit? I just want to be able to mount them on and use them without having to roll fenders or do anything extra. I just want to use these rims for a year or so until I find nicer rims.
In your opinion is this a good deal? $500 for all 4 wheels with 245/40 R20 99VXL tires that have about 65% tread left. What would be a great price for this set so that I can try to talk him down to?
I do not have lug nuts that fit the wheels. All I know is that the oem lug nuts will not fit. Can someone suggest decent quality lug nuts that are cheap that I can use to just mount the rims.
I know the brand of these wheels are Enkei but does anyone know what is the specific name of this rim so I can compare the price of them brand new. Is this a decent quality rim or should I stay away?
I do apologize that I do not know the exact details of the rims/wheels like the offset, etc but I have included some pictures of the inside and outside of the rims/wheels.
Thank you to everyone for your time and help in advance.

Will O disc wheels( low disc) clear stock 99 gs300 brake calipers without a spacer (work euroline dh). I am currently looking at a setup that has 19x8.5 +20 fronts but they are O disc and I would already be pushing the envelope in reference to not having to roll the fenders or run camber

Hey guys and gals. I see some answers close to what am looking for but not exact.
I'm on BC coild and looking to run 20x10.5 all around....not worried about the rear much just cause that's what i have already but more concerned if these will fit upfront.
They would be 20x10.5 +30, would they fit in the front with no fender work and what tires would you recommend running?
Thnx.
