Hi,

I found a set of used GTR R35 rims for a cheap price at a wheels shop close to my place. I'm just wondering, should I go for it and install them or you guys think it won't fit my A/C?

Regards,Khaled.

It wont fit... The offset is too low and the rim width is crazy wide

But it doesn't hurt to "test" fit em before you buy..

I believe OEM offset for the G is +35 while ours is +45 and the GTR is somewhere in the 20s. If that's the case, the rim will stick out a lot on the front but not so much on the back.

It definitely should work. Peoples have been running crazier setups around so GT-R rims should fit fine.

that is a sick deal since new tires are probably $1000. I know there is a thread here with those rims on a 350z. Also keep in mind the rays nismo 10 spoke rims were made for the maxima...that pic has them on a maxima. lol i think u just buy them on that alone. The nismo rims have an offset of +35mm i think. I could look it up i have the paperwork downstairs.

Also curious what size tirs you getting?

the car itself is prob a 04-06

the front bumper is to the 07-08 model which is when they redid the look a little, just like how they redid the look to the coupe and sedan for the first gen coupe and the fourth gen sedan

If the wheels are in good condition, then it's a great deal. Considering these wheels are probably worth a grand each. I say go for it if you have the money.

I wonder what are the offsets on those wheels.

If you dont go through with these wheels and you got the 2 grand to spend, you should get some Volk TE37s id love to see them on a coupe
