G35 OEM 17in Wheels on G37/Q40?
Can I use my 2003 G35 OEM 17in 6 spoke wheels on a G37/Q40?
I've done a lot of searching and haven't found an answer. Lots of folks going the other direction, but none I can find old to new. Here's what I've found on various sources:
G35: 215/55-17 , 17x7.0, 45mm offset.
G37/Q40: 225/55-17, 17x17.5, 45mm offset.
Seems like it should work? I'm OK with the small speedometer difference, I just want them to work as winter wheels.
Here's the scenario if anyone is interested why: I currently have a 2003 G35 I bought new. I have an extra set of OEM winter rims mounted to 215/55/-17 X-ice3's that I've only used for one winter (my second set, they are fantastic). I'm thinking of buying a G37 or Q40 and would like to use my winter wheels and tires. Any problems?
It might seem ridiculous, but I love the idea of paying homage to my original G35 by reusing the wheels. If I get a Q40 and also keep it for 15 years, maybe I'll be driving it with 30-year-old wheels. It says a lot about these vehicles that 'll be happy as a clam driving them for 30 years!
