Question so i tried the rims again and what....

Ok so I was going to get these rims but as u guys know... left side doesn’t fit...


So I was going to get spacers... well I don’t know what size to get...

The rims have a 20 offset and so I was thinking a 15mm offset but I am unsure...

The alero comes with 35 45??

So add 15mm to that???

I tried on a 7.9 mm spacer today helped allot just need a little more and didn’t look bad like if it was sticking out so...

whatcha think??

Sounds like you'll need a 20 spacer to get it right, if you insist. That will probably require longer bolts in order for the nuts to have enough thread to be safe. Not the best option, like previous asked, are these real cheep or special or what?

Yo just try the wheel in the back and see what happens... Cause most G35 have different size tires front and back. I know these are aftermarket wheels. You already said that the wheels are the same width on another thread ( 18x8 with +20 offset) correct?? Now whats the size of the tires?

All the rims and tires are the same...

The front left rubs but just barely the right front, the back left and the back right.. All are fine

just this one and bcause it is just Barely rubbing I plan to
take off the weel well plastic and make a small cut at th fender pinch and the world will be fine again... I hope that works

OK, the rim size you have is 18x8 and the biggest tire you want is 235-40
18... the offset should be around +35 to +42, depending on the rim with..
225/40/18 are fine as well...

Good luck.

Seems like your spending a lot of time and money for the wrong thing.

Doing it right would save you a lot of money

The only reason I can see for one side to fit and the other have this issue is if there has been some damage done to cause the a arms to be out of alignment. Like a hard curbind or hitting a rock with one tire which can push everything back on one side. I'd have an alignment shop or frame place check things out. Maybe measuring front to rear on each side will show where the problem is...

BTW - those are 114x5, not 115x5 and the centerbore is wrong. You should be using hub rings at least
