New wheels dont fit!

I was lead to beleive the enkei ekm3 i bought from a guy were 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Well they dont fit and appear to be 5x100 since that's the only other ones they make.. So here is the question.

I have a 2012 g37s sedan. The wheels are all 18in 8 width 40mm offset with 235/45 tires. From what i could tell i think they would sit close to stock as far as how flush? (correct me if wrong) . Now I'm looking at wheel pattern adapters which add spacing The smallest i could find is 25mm. Are the wheels going to poke?

Sell the wheels. Buy ones with the proper bolt pattern.

I know thats the easy option. However i blew a tire and got the wheels with tires mounted from a guy online. So im now unable to drive my car and really like the wheels. I know i can buy adapters. Found some but they add 20mm and im afrajd kf the amount of poke, which is the part of the question i most need answered.

A mod must have accidentally merged the posts. I read them both when they were separate. This started as stiglitz post.

Should be ok now


Regarding those adapter spacers, you would have a net 18x8 +20, this will be about the same at the fender edge as my current 9.5 +38 so not a bad fit there running no wider than a 245 tire. Here's a pic of my fit at the fender running 245s all around (I run 285s in back now FWIW)

The main concern is finding those adapters in a hub centric fit will be tough. Getting spacers that aren't hubcentric may result in vibrations. You might be fine, but there's a pretty decent chance that at least 1 of the 4 wheels could have an issue.
