Hehe yeah, the Japanese wheel manufacturers are far more conservative than most of the customers here in the states. +17 or +21 will work, may require some fender rolling, but are actually recommended for GTR applications.

Also increasing your track with aggressive offsets does improve performance but will result in increased wheel bearing wear as well as increased scrub on the tire. While this may not be a huge difference for the average street car, over time you can see some of the negative side effects. I personally wouldn't run a +17 wheel on the G35 as I feel it is too low, I actually have some +15 Volk wheels what were taken off my GTR that I don't want to put on my G coupe for the above reasons. Of course it is always a trade off between appearance and efficiency.

Thanks,

Hi, for the EVO you'll want to run an R-disk with a ~+30 to clear the front calipers. You have more flexibility in the rear but it is not a good idea to run wheels that are very different front / rear on AWD cars (except systems like Attessa which can handle it to a certain degree).

Bottom line, we can get these wheels on almost any car, your dish, offset, and lip size will change though. Please shoot us a PM or e-mail if you're interested for other apps. Thanks!

the +36 offset should be good for the G37 coupes...
