Josue, I believe they should fit. If anything, you MIGHT need spacers, but that's all.

josue, i believe i've seen stock g35 wheels on a solara on cardomain.....i can't remember the ride/link, but maybe a pm to pxl would confirm....?

i know stock IS300 wheels fit...but that does not help answer your question. lol.

The hard core info link doesn't work. I'm too trying to figure out what wheels to buy but that link doesn't work so yeah.

Hey, I got a question, I hope someone can give me some advice on this one: how do I make sure that I won't get some kind of irreparable wheels that have been bent or messed up beyond repair somehow that a guy on craigslist is just trying to offload?

Guys - it's all math.

Don't you usually need spacers for Gen 2 wheels? That's because Gen 2 wheels have less offset than Gen 1, right? (40mm offset)

These are 30mm so just the opposite as they are pushed out farther to the outside, so if you usually get 5-10mm spacers then this would do the trick.

The only question then would be is 8" too wide and what size tires you'll want? These are 18x8 offset 30

If you know your current (stock) wheel/tire info, then go here and plug in the numbers!

Keep in mind that I won't be able to use your Gen 1 rims unless they match Gen 2 specs.

(17x7 offset 40)

^Jeff,

If they are 18x8 +30, then that's great! You should be good Josue, you just need someone to roll your rear fenders.

And Josue's TRD Revos should be 17x7 +40, so PXL would be good too.

Lemme know ASAP before I just turn it in with these on the ride!

by **Toy1mzfe** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 5:51 pm

THEY will fit.

U just need hub rings, smaller tires, and roll fenders.
Spacers are not needed.

I have 18x8.5 in the rear and its fits snug with shaved fenders.

According to . http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

the rears will fit but must have the fenders modified.

The front on the other hand may stick out a bit more. Since my fronts are 18x8 +45 i kno they can be pushed out more but not sure how much.

by **PXLpainter** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 6:10 pm

These are all 18x8 30 offset (not 8.5 w)

If you're running 225/45/18s you should be okay as they will be about 5mm further in than Gen 2. Wider tires will cause issues.
