Newer GTR Wheels on the G?

Anyone have a link to picture(s) of a G, sedan or coupe, on these wheels?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-23-2012_1.JPG

The offset is +45 for the front so wouldn't that poke like 10mm?
Rear offset is +25, so spacers would be needed to sit flush, right?

I think the sweet spot for the G's is like +30, yes?

So I guess my real question is, would they even look good?…

You got it all wrong the lower the offset the more it sticks out. Get a 20mm spacer for the front and you will be golden.

You need to look into the widths too as they are different. GTR wheels are 1" wider in the front and 1.5" wider in the rear

Front 20 x 9.5 45 offset
Rear 20 x 10.5 25 offset

Check the wheel size calculator here: https://www.myg37.com/forums/tire_rim_calculator.php

Their fitment won't be right on a G37, the fronts will need spacers and the rears will poke out. I'd look for aftermarket solutions.

The 25 offset for the rear won't poke if he's lowered. That's just the right size, however if the tire is to fat you will rub badly

I think with some modification, other people have done it. I forget which member, but he's on the forum and posted pictures. It is worth mentioning that GTR wheels are larger and heavier than your stock wheels. You'll lose some acceleration because of the increased unsprung weight.

See that's the thing, do you want the wheels to fit or do you want to make them fit? I can buy a few sizes smaller pants and squeeze the **** out of myself and make them fit, or I can just buy the right size lol

Thanks for all the responses guys.
This was really just late night curiosity, I don't like 20 inch wheels on the G anyway. Too big for my taste. 19 is really as big as I would go.

Anywho - I think Sam said it best, it would fit, but it'd require a lot of squeezing and such, and probably still wouldn't look right. Thanks guys.
