Need some quick help with a wheel size for G35

Hello all,

I am really wanting a set of wheels that i found here in town but not sure if they will fit. They are 20"x8x5" all around and tires with them are 225/35/20. Im just not sure if this will pose a problem since neither the tires nor wheels are a staggered size. I told the guy i'd come check them out but i think i may be wasting my time buying them because i dont think they will b right for the car. Would anyone have any suggestions?

They will fit, but 8.5 is a weak width for the car, especially in a 20" wheel.

What are the offsets, do you know?

No thats the only problem. The guy ive been talking to is on a leave for work and thats the only thing he knows about them. He is selling them for a friend. Thanks for the quick reply though. Just gotta know within the next hour or so. If they will fit i will probably buy them but another thing im scared about is whether or not they will rub against the brembos

They are damani dunamis wheels. I would like to test fit them but his wife is the only person that will be around their house so I doubt they will be cool with that. Hopefully this guy will be alright with me taking them home to test fit them and refund me if they dont but i havent brougt that up to him

Well if you have a race jack, you could just take it there with you and test one front and rear wheel at a time. That's perfectly reasonable when buying used wheels.

^^ I've done it before. Ended up not buying those cuz I didn't like the way they fit.

But those wheels there, its my design of wheel... but its also not the worse design in the world. I say if you want them, go for it... but the widths is what has me saying no. Would rather have a 9.5 F and 10.5 rear.

Hey guys yep that is the wheel. I just moved uptown recently because of a job i took up here so i dont have alot of the stuff i left back at my hometown. (I know, probably too many variables that should lead me away from buying these). But it is a very reasonable price. He said there are 4 nearly brand new falken 452's mounted on them all for $800 obo. So im thinking if i can get them for 700 that i should do it since the price sounds right. I just dont want my car going from a somewhat exotic look to the look you guys know im referrin to lol

IMO, get stock 19s and spacers, if you don't have them already.

^^ I agree with Silencer.

Save your money and get something better. Sure you wanna mod it now, but patience is a virtue and when you finally do have the money to get something, it will be better and worth it in the end. You'll be glad you did. Trust me.

After my last post i went and tried one on in their parking lot. I tried the front driver one first and it rubbed the caliper anyway. Was kind of what i was figuring may happen anyway. Yeah I think you guys are right in that i need to find something a little more practical in sizing for the car anyway
