For a company like VR that sells the quantity of wheels they sell they should be paying better attention. It's a huge liability building these wheels so if they were to come a part because someone forgot to torque them right then it's on them.

But there is no way a bolt torqued to 30ft/lbs (that should have loctite on it due to who they are) can come loose from any kind of driving activity.

Agreed. VR, Wheelflip, MemoryFab, etc. all have to be really careful about that kind of stuff.

That's a fair point, I hadn't considered the liability aspect. Thankfully that never became an issue. Honestly it's my bad for not keeping an eye on it. In hindsight the first thing I should have done when they were delivered was ask that question and check everything right then and there before I put tires on and started driving on them.

Good lesson to be learned here: Check your nuts when you get new wheels

Yea I agree, but keep in mind some of the general consumers aren't as mechanically inclined to correct or even catch an issue like that.

Would these wheels fit a '05 g35 coupe.

Bolt Pattern 5x114.3
Wheel Hub: 73.1
19x9.5 - Front offset: +22
19x11 - Rear offset: +25

and if they fit what about tires?

Thanks in advance

they'll fit, but you would need to get a 66.1 hub ring. otherwise you'll have issues with that larger bore.

tires, 245/275/35.

Yes, as long as the car isn't equipped with any kind of big brake set up.

Fenders will need to be rolled with those offsets AND tire specs but its a good offset to be able to still use meaty tires

19x9.5 +22/19x11 +25 will fit without an issue, just get 73.1 to 66.1 hubcentric rings. 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 tires are what I'd recommend as well, but you can run wider tires if you roll your fenders.

I am planning to put a set of Work Gnosis HS 203 Matte Black on a 2006 G35 Coupe. I would like to run in the front 19 x 9.5 R Disk and rear 19 x 10.5 O Disk but am not sure of the offsets. I do not want the rims to poke out but even with the front and rear fenders. I do not mind the mild aggressive offsets if there is such a thing but not too aggressive . My fenders are rolled flat. Any recommendations are grateful.

with those wheel widths you should stay in the low teens offsets to get the flushness you are looking for....throw some 245/35 and 275/35 tires on and your good
