Will these MRR wheels fit on my 05 Coupe?
Hey everyone,
I found someone who is selling a set of MRR GT1's for $750. Only 1800 miles on the wheels and tires.
Here are the wheel/tire specs. They were previously on a Lexus IS300:
5x114.3
19x8.5 +45
19x9.5 +48
Kumho Escta SPTs 235/35/19s up front and 255/30/19s in the back
Just want to know if these will fit. I know the setup wont be aggressive on a g35coupe but maybe if I can buy some spacers, it'll look a little more flush...? What size spacers would you recommend if any?
I'm currently on stock suspension but am also considering lowering the car a bit...just looking for soft suspension (good for daily driving) with a pretty low drop.
Thanks!

I have an 05 coupe...
I know the offsets are high and everything, but would it really look that bad with spacers?

You're going to need like 40mm spacers to make them look good.
I'd keep looking if I were you.
As for suspension, if you don't want to go adjustable coilovers your best bet will be Tanabe DF210 springs.

that spec is super weak for a coupe...
like 4dgs says, you will need spacers
You might as well spend the extra money for coils, I have springs on now and I'm planning to switch them out for coils. Coils, you can adjust the ride quality and stance, with springs, you are stuck with what you get.

I would keep looking.
You will need at least a 30mm spacer to make them look decent.
With those tires you would need to lower the car more than a little bit, they are too small for a G at stock height or slightly lowered.
Even on a sedan you would want spacers.

at this point in time, with my current budget, these wheels are affordable. Plus, I am in DESPERATE need of tires and for this price, I can get wheels and tires together, as opposed to just replacing tires for my stock wheels.
I used to have an RSX TypeS slammed on Tanabe coilovers, so I know coilovers would be much better to have than springs, but again with my budget, I will settle for springs.
Where is the best place to purchase spacers?

i have these rims but i dont think my offsets are anywhere near that high. i like them too. im currently running 245/35/19 fronts and 275/35/19 on the rear. the g35 offset range is 15-40 as far as i know.

I wish the offsets were lower and the tires were a bit larger. I may have to pass up this deal, drop more dough, and end up buying some Varrstoen wheels or something. Its such a good deal though I think...
