Question Will this work.

I have an 08 g35s..I have the factory 7 spoke 18s.

I am thinking of getting another set of rims.

18x8 and 18x9..I know the factory size is 18x7.5 and 18x8.5

I just want to know if the factory tires can be just swapped over and run fine.

Please help someone.

It should, but to be safe post the size of your tires also. I don't know stock sedan tire sizes off the top of my head.

The tires should be just fine. Make sure your offsets are correct, as those will be the determining factor in if your wheels are flush or not.

Front 18/8 with a 1" lip - Rear 18/9 with a 2 1/4" lip hub centric replica.

This is all I know soo far..Hope that helps..Guy told me factory offset was 40.

So these rims should fit.
