They will require some spacers, maybe just 5 or 10mm, but I strongly suggest using quality ones (>$125 per axle)

There is a photochopped pic of those wheels on my balck 94 or 95 Q in a thread somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

A few notes, as I've also "looked" for those same wheels/tires.

* 19" tires are more expensive than both 18" & 20" tires, considerably more $$$ for same quality tires.

* Forged 18's from a Z will cost less.

* Used quality wheels (Racing Hart, OZ Racing, Rays, BBS, etc) can be had for less if you look.

* They're dead sexy, but may not be the wisest choice .

HEY! I was eyeing those... damn it.

Eh... they will be too pricey for me anyway. Have at it. I be they will look great!

What Rex said is right on point.

Let me ask, which tire would you use to meet the OEM specified 26" rolling diamter and the minimum 95 load rating?

Strikes me as spoked caster wheels. Great for slot cars, not so great for the street.

I bought mine for $800 brand new off a M45 sport, I tried to sell them for $800 which was still a great deal and now I finally decided to mount them. you need 1" to 1.25" spacers for a Y33 so I assume the same thing for a G50. There are a few folks that did them on Y33's, that was the first application on G50 I have seen. Reports are no rubbing, I am going to mount 245/35 19 tires with billet aluminum very high quality spacers.

There are few folks on the board that think spacers are "unsafe" I think that if I had it to do over again I'd wait and find some FX35/45 18" or 20" rims which would require no spacers. BUT, the look you get with spacers in pushing the rims out to the corners is very nice. A hassle and they run about 250 for good ones, so the price of getting some 20" FX rims would be a more practical way to go, but these are VERY sweet looking rims.
