g35 wheels?

[WhiteNissanS13]

i have a quick question, i have a set of g35 rims sitting in my house. if i were to use a 4 to 5 lug hub adapter it also increases track width

would the stock 18x8 infiniti g35 rim fit on my car withour fender rolling, btw the tires are 225 and 245 i believe

those wheels(18x8)

any positive response will be appreciated, thanks

8" width on an s13 is already super wide, how do you plan on fitting that WITH a set of massive hub adaptors?

The number one issue here is offset of those wheels, which I highly doubt need spacers. :)

I think 5-lug conversion would be needed, then test fitment to see if they dont hit shocks and fenders.

are the adapters sitting around the house too? well jack it up and find out if they are!! they will fit fine with a 5 lug conversion dunno about withthe adapters....

Mike iirc offest on those are like 43 so assuming the adapters are a good 25mm... that leaves what a 18mm offset or so. mmm probably will fit if I remember right. still need to roll the fenders to be safe but the old baseball bat method should suffice...

my friend drives a 280z wants to know how thick these adapters are and where he can purchase some?

[WhiteNissanS13]

thanks for your response you guys, you can purchase them at speedalliance.com

I'm still leary of those adapters... has anyone here had success with them?

they are no different than a bolt on spacer. I've been running a 25mm spacer for almost a year on my car now with no problems. held up to Drag racing drifting high sped mountain runs etc. etc. dousan has been running a 30mm spacer on his ride for 2 years iirc drifting damn near every weekend on um for the past year. long as you check the torque on them every once inawhile no problems. I personally check it like every other month if I remeber too.

Will the offset of these wheels cause any problems on the S14? I know others who drive lowered S14s with 18x8 inch wheels, with no issues whatsoever.

They look awesome :cool:

I just remembered the site I was thinking of earlier :o

aaawheel.com



Evidently, there's a different offset for front and rear of the G35. . two dif. wheels. .

wonder if I could use just one or the other . . . I'll some homework. . . would be nice to still be able to rotate.

What about balancing?

[adey]

I can't see there being too much of a problem with balance; any weight difference would be minor, and cosidering how close to the axis this small difference is, I don't think it would be noticable.

I don't know what offsets the G35 wheels are, but if you're putting these on an S14 I *think* it should be OK... after all, putting a 30mm spacer on stock S14 wheels, AFAIK would only make it look better w/o needing rolling. If they're going on an S13 your fenders may need rolling.

...in your case, you might need rolling and even a tiny "pull", esp. considering the width (9"?) of the G35 rears.

what about it? really its your choice balance just the wheels and tires or remove the spacer bolt it to the wheel and then balance. dosnent make a whole lot of difference really. as adey said too close to the hub to matter much.

S14 should fit this setup perfectly. with or without the spacer I think they will look good

k I want them now. .
just to reiterate. . I believe these are knockoff wheels, but check out www.aaawheel.com . . . good prices for the most part.. . bunches of OEM wheels, and aftermarket stuff. :cool:
