will 2003 wheels fit on my 2005??

I have a 2005 G35 with the 19" wheels - looking to buy a set of used wheels on craigs for cheap - they are from a 2003 G. . . am i nuts for thinking they may not fit? 5 " with snow tires!

thanks

As long as your blinker fluid is within the proper DOT8 specs, you'll be fine.

blinker fluid - hahaha.

anyway, the rear went on without a problem but the front seems to be giving me trouble. there is a stud sticking out of the rotor and before i remove it has anybody else removed these studs? they look like a weight or something to keep the rotor seated properly. it sticks out about an inch - can i remove these? front wheels wont go on with them there. thanks!

ok - so the wheels do not clear the brake calipers, they are supposed to be G35 sedan wheels from a 2003. the back fits fine but the front hits the calipers. going to grind a little to see if i can make it work.
