My new-to-me wheels and spacers.
Just traded my stock painted wheels for these R-1 Hype 20's. Found the guy on craigslist asking $900 or trade for 18"/19" 350Z/G35 wheels. Did a straight up trade with no cash involved. Wheel specs are pretty weak and I know most of you guys would frown upon my decision to trade for these and say I should have saved for nicer wheels with better fitment
.......Wheel and tire specs are 20x8.5 +35 all around with 225/35/20 all around.
Before the guy showed up I looked the wheels up on R-1's website and the only offset was +25 for the 8.5" width wheel. Well when we swapped wheels I knew something was not right. I measured for spacers on the back and ordered spacers from "cjbargains" on ebay. They are 1.25"(31.75mm). When installing the spacers that's when I noticed the wheels were +35's.
So far the wheels and spacers(they're hub-centric) are holding up fine and no vibrations.
Flame suit is on and ready.

Is it just me or does it seem like the front has more lip than the rear? Maybe just the angle
