Could anyone tell me if these will fit a G?
These wheels came up for sale away from my area plus i am still waiting to buy my V35 from Japan so unable to try them.
I think they will hang out too far but here are the spec and Pics
18x10' wide 17offset

Nice mesh style rims. What kind are they?

Just from my experience. My rims were originally 19x10 +17 offset. I tried them on, and I felt they stuck outside the fender a tad. I was wanted them to be flush or just tucked in the fender, so I had some custom work done to them and now they're 19x10 +20...just right. Since they're 18's I don't think you should have a problem with rubbing, just don't drop it too low.

Here's a pic of what the rear wheel looked like from the top of the fender looking down....

Wow thanks for the info G.
Your pic is the rear correct?
If so how do these wheels fit on the front?
They are not staggered rims unfortunately.
Will have to check the legality of having the inside face of the wheel machined.
Cheers

you should be fine. I've run 19x10.5 +17 w/ 275-35/19 tires and was fine. Just had work done on the fenders but in your case you probably won't need it.

Got any pics of it fitted with that combination?

Just to get off topic I see you've owned a WRX previously.
I know it's a totally different car but how does the G35 feel power and acceleration wise compared to the WRX?
Would prefer not to FI if they feel quick enough.
I have a WTX at the moment and like the power but never quite came to terms with the handling after 12 years rally/racing RWD's.
Here's mine

Not to split hairs but, V35= sedan, CVP35= coupe. I'm not up on coupe wheel fitment's like I am for the sedan.

Aussiev35- The rex is a quick car and all expecially after putting in the
Utec, but here in chi-town it's too much of a hassle to deal with heat
and super cold temps. I know I could do closed-loop but with winter gas
we get and summer gas, etc. i could never really trust the consistencies
in the fuel. So I had 4 programs in the Utec for various temps in
open-loop. it was a fast car through...and with the coilovers and all
that I had suspension wise, it carved corners pretty well too.

but after a while, I just tired of turbos and its inconsistencies in
heat that I went with a bigger NA motor... G35C's are heavy
cars but you won't feel the weight with its motor. it can easily keep up
with lightly modded WRX's and Stage1 kits on the streets (meaning,
no real hardcore racing).

here's what mine looked like... old site:

now, back to those wheels trying to figure out if it'll fit a coupe just by
looking at the picture!

Did you have the mating surface of the wheel machined down 1 mm? I've thought about doing this but have not of anyone who's done it before.

I took mine to a wheel repair place, and they shaved down about 3mm off the mounting surface. But that's all they said they could do, because if they took anymore off it could weaken the structural integrity of the rim. I cost me 40 bucks each rear wheel, and it was worth it!


AussieV35 - Yeah the picture I posted above is from the rear wheel. My front rims are 19x9 +26, so I don't know if your 18x10's would fit. Just my opinion, but based on the size of the rims, I don't think you should get them. They look great, but they're not staggered and the offset is really low. The rear rims may fit with no problems, but the front rims may be too wide with an 18x10 +17 offset. I'd say wait until you get your Skyline, then try on wheels.

Because Australia drives on the left same as Japan plus Nissan Australia in their wisdom does not import and sell them here new.

Well if you want to split hairs then V35 does not equal sedan.
There is no Skyline VIN number designation with just V35 in it.
Sedans are usually VH-V35 or similar depending on engine size etc.
V35 is just the generic term for the skyline just like you refer to the G35.

Everyone refers to r33 R34 Skylines etc as such whereas My R34 was ER34.
For the record I'm refering to a Coupe CPV35
Don't know what a CVP35 is ya got me there
