I use 17" OEM wheels with snow tires for winter as well. No clearance issues with the brakes.

track wheels are heavy? wow. what else is out there for less than 1k that is lighter that that? i can think koseis ka t1 and enkei rpf01 but those are still around 300/wheel and aren't lighter by a significant weight. 1lbs at most.

if you have a non-track edition spare (donut), it will not clear the brembos.

if any. the track wheels are VERY light, I get a kick when people sell track rims and get volks (in the same width) - um. hello, you wheels are MADE by Rays sure there's an aesthetic difference and improvement, but hardly if any a weight or strength one...

sweet! That means the stock G35 rims will fit over it also... if they have the same measurements

which would be

17x7.5 33mm

17x8 30mm

Track wheels are actually quite light. Both front and rear are in the 18lbs range each, while the OEM 17" wheels are 24lbs each. I have weighed each on a scale since i own two sets of wheels.

By your mods I can see that you may need a wider track than the G35's with that much power.

Now you just need to clean those wheels and tires.
