I finally got around to installing the G35 wheels this past weekend. I settled for using 225/45/17 for the fronts with 5/8 inch adapters and 245/45/17 for the rears with 1 inch adapters. This fitment gives the car a clean look as the rear wheels are approxinmately parallel with the fenders. The only problem is my speedometer is slightly off but this was expected due to the larger tire selection.
I must admit that the larger wheel diameter and the spacers really brightened the drab stock charcoal wheels. Those faded wheels always influenced the only negative comments about the car. You may also notice that the Z32 style wheel center caps are a direct snap in.
If anyone else decides to do this modification I highly recommend the use of adapters. Even though the wheels are advertised as a direct fitment, without the adapters you will not be able to use the center caps up front and the wider rear wheels will also look odd. I managed to tap down the front wheel hub cover with a hammer to use the 5/8 adapters and installed the 1 inch for the rears.
Special thanks to Dan from the Specialty Shop for the free advice and providing a quality set of wheel adapters.
