M35/45 Sport Rims on a G Coupe

I know it "can" be done... I searched it and found some pics... but I am not sure whats involved with it. The offset is +50, which is quite a bit more than the +20 that I wanted, but I may be able to get some locally for a good deal. If I have to get spacers, then thats out of the question for me (Bad experience in the past). LMK what you guys think and if you have any pictures of chrome ones on a G coupe. Thanks in advance and sorry if this topic has been beaten to death... I really did try a few searches.
-Mike

you would definitely need spacers to fit AND look right! FYI, Alot of guys here are running spacers without any issues.

if i remember correctly, these wheels don't look right on the g coupe w/o spacers since they look way tucked...
i even run my OEM 19's now with spacers.

what's your bad experience w/ spacers? i'm curious.
as long as you have hubcenric rings, you should be fine.

I might still have pictures here somewhere... but back in 04 I had quite a bit of cash and dumped it on an 04 350z Roadster... I was among the first to put the Greddy TT on it, and that was a nightmare to begin with, lol. I put on some H&R hub centric spacers and everything was fine for quite some time. I did baby the hell out of the car though... One day, while driving down the road, I decided to punch it (little adrenaline boost before work) and Pop... the rear right wheel fell right off. I was like WTF! Thank God I as only going about 45 at the time, but it still scared the hell out of me. Needless to say, the car needed quite a bit of work... my bodykit was shot on that side (skirt and rear)... lots of brake work and new suspension work (Suspension was stock to begin with... not even lowered). Needless to say the car was never the same again and I took quite the hit on it. I totally blame the spacers and truly hope that this never happens to anyone in the future... I hope my incident was a fluke. Needless to say... if I can do w/o spacers... I will. To those with them, more power to you... just take them off at the drag strip or auto-x.

If run these wheels on a coupe (hope you don't have brembos) w/o spacers it's going to look homotastic. Just being honest here before you waste $ on buying these wheels.
