Finally got my set of G35 wheels installed this past weekend. Car looks and handles great even with the factory Michelins (Not as good as the Advans on my "really fun" car though). I went with these wheels because I wanted to push the wheels outward a bit and keep the factory tires, and also keep the wheels within the Nissan family.
These are the rear 17X8 wheels found on certain 2005-7 G35 coupes, offset is +33. I was originally going to mount a set of 17X7.5 fronts (that also come stock on the G35 coupe) but opted to go 8" wide all around for ease of rotation. These wheels are approx 3.5Lbs lighter than the factory 17" wheels and have already shown a significant improvement in range/power consumption reduction. The factory Nissan centercaps also fit perfectly. I did have to shave approx 3mm off the front stud of the axle shaft that was preventing the centercap from fitting. For anyone who is interested I have the factory 17X6.5" SL wheels that came with the car for sale, no tires no centercaps and no TPMS.
