Confirmed.

so if I get 10mm hubcentric with extended studs wouldn't the back or the rim hit the tips of the original studs that pokes thru? I don't think there are holes at the back of the rims and arn't the original studs like 20mm?

Maybe I should just slap on some 18" g-spiders that I have lying around..

make sure you actually measure. i had some misc wheels prior to g35 wheels and thought all i needed was 5-10mm but found out i needed more and ended up getting 15mm AND shaved my calipers
and to answer your question, g35 wheels did fit without spacers, but i went ahead and used spacers anyways. take a look behind the wheel for this if you are using bolt on spacers. can you take a pic of the inside of the wheel for reference please? i'm looking to find a set of g37 wheels also, but need to make sure there is clearance

Here's a pic of the inside part of the rim. I think I'll run 15mm spacers on front rims to allow a good amount of clearance. the caliper was grazing the spokes while I was turning the wheel...so a H&R 10mm or 15mm hubcentric with extended bolts should be enough. I also got hubcentric rings that would be put on the adapters since the Lexus bore is 60.1 and inifiniti is 66.1. chubby - did you run hubcentric rings on top of your spacers with ur g35 rims?

Also got blank centercaps to get rid of the inifiniti logos

correct-o!

take off the old leather, add/replace some cushion where needed and then slip on the new ones. might not be a perfect fit but that's what you get for an aftermarket set.
