You shouldn't...I thought the offset for those rims was around 40mm...

Spacers will move the wheels further out towards the fender.... and I want to say the g35 rims have a lower offset than stock Alty's (35-ish mm vs. 45mm?), which would move them further out than stock without additional hardware. Maybe to get them perfectly flush?

Not sure what the specs are on those wheels but unless they don't clear your brakes, then yes. Or as someone previous mentioned to give a flusher/aggressive look.
