Edit: Mounted my GT-C's today...

So today I woke up at 5 AM to pick up my GT-C's at RZ Motoring in Orlando. (I live in Broward County) I get there on time at 10:30 AM pick them up as if everything was fine and then go home to mount them, because I wouldn't be able to fit the stock rims in the car, so I brought a truck with me. I get home at 4:30 PM and I become very upset...




Hmmm... looks like the fronts have a +21 offset, which does not fit the damn G35! I check my receipts and the first one says that they are +24 offset and the second one I got when I picked them up says +21. I hope this was an honest mistake by the shop, but damn I'm so pissed off. I wait 3 months and then +3 more of an offset holds me back from mounting. I need to vent. I have to call them up Monday and see what's up.

*EDIT*

explain exactly what it is that doesn't fit? are you talking about NOT clearing your brakes? or you simply can't mount them on the hub?

I can't fit them on the hub... I put the hub ring on and it's off because the offset isn't right. To prove that it's the offset I took the hub ring off and when it wa flush against the rotor the lug pattern was still off.

that doesn't make sense...the hubring sits flushed inside the center bore of the wheel and right up around the hub. Are you trying to put on the front ones? if so, there is an extra bolt that has to be taken off so you can properly mount your wheels. 3mm difference in offset will NOT cause the problem you're describing.

Yeah make sure you remove the little bolts. They're there so you don't mount the rear oem rims on the front.

+21 should fit no prob. I've got +17 on the front and they're fine.
