Does anyone have G-spyders? I was thinking about to get a set and was wondering if you needed hubcentric rings for the 2 GS. Also, anyone have fitment pictures?

Thank you Dave, I was wondering about the hubcentric rings. And I request a view from the side. I want to see how flush it sits with the fenders.

I had a set and they don't fit flush at all without spacers. They fit the same way all stock OEM wheels fit...tucked way under the fender because of the offset.

Hmmm...the offset is 45mm so, to get them resonably flush I'd go with a 10 to 15mm spacer. That put you right where you want them to be. Someone please chime in if you had done this already.

more like +20 and +25 for the rear. We're talking about 8" wide wheels here.

20 to 25? That seems a bit excessive. I had G35 wheels on my car and they were 8 in the front 8.5 in the back and seemed to be fit enough. Maybe 10 mm each. I think their offset is more the issue.

if you dont trim fenders... you arnt getting aftermarket rims.

i had 19.9-9.5... +35? +24? it was still sunken battle ship to me... even tho the rears require minor shaving.

i would personally look elsewhere for rims since gspider is more "replacement" rims.

look into weds if you want something affordable yet stylish
