The rims came off a 2003 Coupe, but before I buy them I want to make sure they will fit my car. I have a 2005 G35 Sport Coupe.

If these won't fit can anyone suggest what type of rims / tires I need?

Thanks

Those look great , I might bid on them too. (Just kidding!)Are you getting these as an extra winter set? They are only 7.5 wide so you will be limited on tire width.Nice wheels though!

Yeah I need a winter set (I live in Canada), I don't mind if the tire width is only 7.5 for as long as they would fit and work well.

So that would be a yes to them fitting the coupe?I thought the front wheels / rear wheels where a different size?17x8 and not 17x7.5?

I am really confused about this.

That question someone else is going to have to help you on. I don't know specific years, but newer coupes do have staggered wheels.

Help will be here shortly!

Welcome to the forum and post some pics if you haven't done so already.

The rim/tire question is a really good one.

Tirerack states that the 17s on the G35 coupe for 05 have 225/50/17s on the front and 235/50/17s on the rear.

That's a .21" difference in height front to back and .39" in width.

The 19s on the other hand have 225/40/19s in the front and 245/40/19s in the rear with a .31" difference in height front to back and .79" in width.
