Do they actually fit or would I have to do other things to make it work?


Thanks a lot,

Both cases are true unfortunately.

The bad news is, you'll have to do a little homework to find out if the wheels will fit or what's needed to make them fit... the good news is, there are some VERY knowledgeable people on this site that are quite willing to help.

Just post up the sizes and offsets you would like to run, and someone will let you know if it will work, or what it will take to make it work.

Also, welcome to driver

Alright cool thanks. I'm looking for 19" wheels, not sure exactly what size offsets I'd want but preferably a deeper offset in the rear

Yeah I bet lol, that's why I was looking at wheels being sold with tires to save some money.

What modifications am I going to have to do for this kind of setup? I wasn't planning on messing with the suspension for awhile.

maybe roll the fenders at the most until you lower it. or possibly maybe a camber kit just to camber it a bit so if you hit bumps

I'm running 19s, dropped on OEM 350Z suspension (~1" drop) and 19s with zero fender work. But I'm not running a staggered setup.

Oh also, there's some good info in here, Bakerna: https://g35driver.com/forums/media-s...sh-thread.html

Cool thanks, so does the specific wheel/tire determine what size spacers I need? Or is that just preference

At least you're posting in the right place instead of making a new thread asking the same questions everyone else has. Kudos for that, most aren't that smart

The width of the wheel, with of the tire, and OFFSET of the wheel will all affect if you run any spacer at all, or if you have to roll the fenders, run negative camber, etc....

Any specific wheels you're looking at right now?
