Question HELP: Will G35 Coupe wheels fit on my 350Z?

Hello,

I am considering purchasing a set of stock wheels from a G35 coupe to put on my 2005 350Z. Will they bolt right up with no problems? How about wheels from a G35 4 door? Will those work too? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance, Al.

both will fit, however the offset of the 4-door wheels will be wierd, maybe they will stick in too much.

Yes, they do fit. I have spacers too: 15mm fronts, 20mm rears. When you first install them, they fit FLUSH. But after it settles in, its not as flush. If I could have, I might have went with 20mm X 25mm. However, I'm not sure if this would cause rubbing. As it is, 15mm X 20mm DOES NOT RUB at all.

BTW these are from an 06 G35 coupe.

That's pretty cool. I've always wanted to see what the 19" G35 rims looked like on a Z. Nice!

Thanks for all your help! I really appreciate it. However, I was too late on the G35 rims that I was planning to buy. They have been sold. Anybody have a set of stock G35 rims and tires or stock 350Z rims and tires for sale? I'm on a budget, so I am looking for a fairly inexpensive set. My wheels were stolen one night. Prefer to buy from someone local in the S.F. Bay Area. Thanks again.

If you change your wheels to the G35's, do you encounter the TPS problem, or does the G35 wheel have tire presure sensors built in them? that would be awesome if they do, it would sure convince me to get a pair

I am also wondering if anything else is required to bolt these onto a Z. Any problems with VDC, alignment or speedometer?

I would like to get a new set of rims but I don't want to lower my car. I also don't want to go to a 35 sidewall because of the roads in RI. Everyone I know who has a 35 profile tire has bent a rim in RI. Damn potholes! So I am either going to get a set of stock 18" 06 wheels or the 19" G35's if they will bolt on with no problems.

*edit*

I just found out by using the tire size calculator that I am an idiot! I always knew that the profile was a relationship between the diameter and width. What I didn't know was that a 255/35-19 and a 225/40-19 have almost the exact same diameter, 26.0 compared to 26.1. According to the tire calculator they both would have the same 3.5 inches of sidewall. So, my fear of getting a setup with a 35 series tire was pointless.
