Default Volk GT-Cs not fiting my 350!!!

So I bought these used set of 20 inch GT Cs, guy said they were off a G35, and Im trying to put them on, and it does not want to seat against the rotor, there is like a inch gap. The studs on the rotor line up, but there is a screw, which Im assuming holds the rotor in place, hitting the inside of the wheel about halfway on!! Now is a g35 front rotor any different?? Ive searched, could not find anything, I just hope Im not out a couple grand!!

If it's the little screw im thinking, it's there so you dont put your rear wheels on the front...take it off

The screw is there so people don't try to rotate the stock wheels. Just remove the screw and put the rims on.

+1 on removing the screw. It serves no other purpose other than prevention of the rear wheels being put on the front.

Yes probably...as far as I know the front and rear wheels/tires on the G35 are staggered, so they would also have that screw in there to keep people from 'accidentally' rotating rear to front.

yeah, your rotor is not going to fall off or anything like that. The lug nuts will tighten everything together. Other local owners asked me the same thing. They think the rotor is goign to fall off. lol, how can something like that happen. Like other said above, so you can't rotate the wheels.

Easy to get the screw off - just get the proper sized socket, hold onto the rotor so it doesn't rotate and it'll come off pretty easily. Voila - the wheels should fit.

Haha, I actually had a set of Diamond black Te37s on order, takes about 3 months from what the shop said, but I found these in the classifieds for way cheaper w/ tires, I might rock these until I get the DB 19s

I know I can flip these for atleast what I paid for them.
