Will the 19's on my GSX fit my new G35?

I have an old set of street shoes (19" Axis Se7ens) on my 650whp project GSX. I've been planning to take them off of the eclipse for a long time and replace them with some ultra lightweight track wheels and R compound tires. I'm considering putting the Axis wheels onto my new daily driver ( black on black 04 G35 6mt coupe w 49k miles, navi, sunroof, spoiler, bose, & brembos ). The Axis Seven's are the same bolt pattern (5-114) with 235/35/19 Nitto Nt555 rubber. Can I take these wheels off of the GSX and put them on the G if I use spacers? I know they will not be a great performance setup on the G since the rears will be more narrow than the stock G wheels, but it would just be temporary until I can afford some new 19's or 20's with better fitament and wider tires. I know for a fact that the axis wheels would look much nicer on the new G than the fugly stock 18's that came on it. The Se7ens fit pretty much flush on the GSX and I'm sure that all 4 of them are 19x8" but I bought them used 5 years ago and I have no idea what offset they are. GSX's typically use between 40mm and 48mm. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yea you're going to need at least a 20-30mm spacer. Optimal offsets to not look stupid on the coupe are around 20. So if the offsets are indeed +40, then you need a +20mm spacer, but you could even put a 30mm spacer and it would look even better.

Pull the wheels and look at the offsets on the back.

Short answer, yes, you need spacers.

You might also want to get hub rings in addition to the spacers. The center bore for Eclipses is 67.1. The center bore for our cars is 66.1.
