Exclamation Will G35 coupe 20" staggered wheels, fit a 03 Sedan?

I'm looking to buy some wheels off a guy who has 20x8.5 for the front and 20x10 for the back.

Please let me know if this set up will work for my 2003 G35 Sedan. I called one company and they said it WILL work, then another company said it WILL NOT work.. I'm confused!!


Thanks!

We need to know the offsets to be able to answer your question.

most likely if the 20s were on a coupe, the offset is too low for your sedan.

See this thread: https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-tires/13950-sedan-wheel-fitment-chart.html

Another excellent reference on this general subject can be found here:

http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Wheel_Specifications

Based on all research I have done, I believe that you cannot fit 10" wheels in the rear of our sedans, 9.5" is the widest I have found anyone claim to have fitted. If you want to try, the offset will have to be just right, your ability to adjust camber may be limited, and I'm almost sure you'll need to roll the fenders, certainly if you lower your vehicle. Even then I think you need to pray for a miracle and I doubt you'll get it but let us know if it works for you!

I run Coupe 18"x8" +33 offset wheels and 350Z track edition version 1 forged Rays (for the track, what else?) (18"x8" +30 front and 18"x8.5" +33 rear). The coupe wheels are terrific but if you are lowered you have to roll the fenders to accommodate the wider stance/ smaller offset.

wrong. 10 inch rims are very common on the sedan, you just need the right offsets

What would be the right offset? The rims i'm looking at are 20MM in the front and 25MM in the rear.

Thanks

will not fit!

for a conservative and most common sedan staggered setup...
front is 20x8.5 +35mm ~ +38mm
Rear is 20x9.5 or 20x10 +40mm(roll fenders) ~ +45mm (not required to roll fenders unless dropped more than 1")

Thanks
the max i'd run for the setup you are looking for...

20x8.5 +35mm, no less

20x10 +40mm, no less

+20mm and +25mm is way too low, will stick out like papa said.

Better also plan on getting camber kits to add in more negative camber.
