Not sure, but if you are getting your wheels redone, be careful. I had a mobile paint refinishing company do mine, and they didn't match the metallic grey color well You can tell the color is off.

I always wondered how and if the rear wheels are on the rear and fron ton the front. so today I was working and noticed i have the 30mm offset wheel on the rear. i googled and found this on 350z forums.

Front
Size: 19x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 19 lbs
Tire: 225/40-19

Rear
Size: 19x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 21 lbs
Tire: 245/40-19

Is that correct? also i read there is a stud to keep you from mixing front/rear. i know this stud is there on the front. how does this stud work exactly? If my wheels r backwards, there is a loop hole in it.

For the OEM Rays, yes.

The indentation on the back of the rear wheels is smaller, so that stud prevents the wheel from sitting flush on the hub when installed on the front.

It doesn't need to be super tight.

I would guess because the front brakes provide 80% of braking power.

Brakes sedan to coupe

I'll openly admit, I didn't search the rest of the forums for this question. So please be gentle. xD

I LOVE the g35 coupe body style, and sound. I'm thinking about getting one, but I need 3 seats in the back. Now, here's my question; Will the sedan back seat fit in the coupe? I can't really find dimensions on the seats, however it LOOKS like the sedan is a little smaller (not as wide) so I'm not sure exactly how all of it will work. Just a curious thought.

Now, if it won't fit/does work, I'll just but a random black lap bet and buckle, remove the bottom of the back seat (where ye' **** sits), take the bolts out of the buckle, get them a little longer, add the lap belt and buckle to it, and get the bottom of the seat reupholster it to all cushion and just make it got darn self. xD

...but the sedan swap would be easier.

if you wanted 3 seats in the back you should have gotten a sedan...not to be a dick man....its extremely uncomfortable even putting 2 people back there, no way you will have 3 people willing to sit in the back of the coupe

I have never heard of anyone wanting to put sedan rear seats in a coupe. You should have went with the sedan for sure.

should have doesn't matter. can it be done? that's all I asked.

and they won't be back there every day, maybe only once every couple of months. I just need them back there on a "what if" emergency. I HATE the sedans.
