Unhappy Problem putting on VOLKS GT-C on 04 G35 Coupe

I just bought a 19inches VOLKS GT-C. The rim came off 2003 RX-8. it has bolt pattern 114.3, made to clear big brake kit.

I have 2004 G35 Coupe w/ Brembo.

I bought lug nuts from Rays made for GT-C with Infiniti thread size but having a very difficult time putting it on. the thread match but the lug nuts just wont go through the small Volks GT-C hole, its hard to explain.

Any idea on how to put these rims on? anyone had experience for this.

let me know!!! i need help. Thanks!

check to make sure your caliper isn't in the way... because the RX8 doesn't have brembos or large calipers for that matter so your offset might be the problem. you might have to flip the rims to someone else.

The brembos can be problematic when choosing rims.

I had the same problem with mine. There is a set of lugs that only fit the GT-C's . I got mine through group 5 motorsports in San Diego. They got them within a couple of days too and were only like 50 bux. Just call them and have them ship you the correct lugs.

You can get smaller diameter lugs, sometimes referred to by lug companies as "tuner" lugs. I bought a McGard set that came with a "tuner" lock, plus lugs that required a different key (not a regular hex socket) from summit racing.
