my friend wants me to buy his 20" axis wheels (for a REALLY good price!) that used to be on his Infiniti G35. Does anyone know if the G35 bolt pattern is compatible w/ the 3GS? I don't know the exact size of his wheels, but I should find out tomorrow. i believe they are the axis MODs.

yes, lexus and infiniti share the same bolt pattern, 5x114.3

you probably will need hub rings (aside from widths and offsets). are they off coupe or sedan

thanks for the input rom. they are off the G35 coupe. I have the wheels in my trunk/back seat now. I've never had the privilege of wheels before, so bear with me if i'm asking rookie questions. Front is 245/35Z R20 95W; Rear is 275/35Z R20 102W. my car isn't lowered yet, but i was wondering if i'll have any rubbing/offset problems when i put nf210s on this biyatch. i guess i'll find out soon...

so the axis wheels aren't my 1st choice, but the price was right. does anyone know a good spot in the OC to get them re-finished? (prolly a better post in the SoCal section) i wanna go with the black face chrome lip look.

You're more than likely going to rub. Those tire sizes are way overspec unless you're stretching the shizz out of them

i also think you will rub. a few things

1) you didn't mention the width. but looking at the offset of +20 front and rear (i assume that's offsets) and the tire size, it's not pretty
2) front tire is 1" out of spec, and rear tire is whopping 2" out of spec. that's not a good sign neither

thanks guys, you predicted correctly. it's not lowered, but its rubs a bit when turning far left. i'm sure if i dropped it, it will rub more unless the wheel well was modified. i don't like the ride nearly as much & it's a bit loud when going over bumps. looks like i might have some axis wheels for sale soon...

ok, both wheels are 20x9, but offset is unknown. i if i go 245/35 up front, 275/30 rear, do you think they're "salvageable"? these wheels don't go for much used, so it might not be worth the trouble keeping on GS at all...

i am confused, if they are all 9", i'd just put 245 on all of them. 275 is way too wide for 9" imho

so would it be best to keep the same tire width since the wheels are all the same width? i guess that way the tires can be rotated like stock wheels. i figured to keep a similar setup as the G35, but what do I know?

275mm = 10.8", so yeah, that is a pretty big difference from the wheel width.

will the offset even matter in this case? how do you calculate offset?
