Default Putting 20's on my G tomorrow Couple questions

I bought some Iforged "VIP" wheels

bolt pattern is 5x114.3, 245/35/20 275/30/20

my question, came off a 350Z, is this a good fit for my GS, Is there going to be any fender rolling, or any type of work I need to do before install, and is my gas miles going to be worse?

Well, it's not so much about the size of the tires. We need the widths and offsets of the wheels as well.

I know the off set is for the 350z and g35. the guy i bought it from ordered it for his car i really dunno how to find the dimensions, any suggestions, is fender modifications all i need and do the GS really need a drop to have that clean finish?

I had a G35. Offsets for 350z are similar.
Your wheels offsets could be anywhere between the high teens to the low 20's. Not good for the GS.

hey shahzad this is Vidal from Duron Tires. the rear wheels will most likely stick out you can stretch a 255/35/20 on the rear but you will still have to shave the rear. Bring it by the shop and we can fit them on and see how much needs to be rolled.

If I remember correctly, the offsets for Z's are in the low 20s. That's way too too aggressive for our cars

Sorry to say, but I tried fitting IForged wheels off a G35 on my 3GS. Right when I put the back wheel on, I knew it wasn't going to fit. Rim stuck out to much for my taste. Turned around and bought me some Vossen's, picked them up last Friday, very happy with it..

^ if the car in the picture was lowered that set up would work there is a decent amount of wheel gap there to your advantage.

PM Tony tomorrow and he will check for you... I'm almost positive there is .5" tooo much lip... It doesn't hurt to put them on since you got them anyways.

Shahzad, just cut your rear fenders and slam the car.

You will tuck that with no problem!

Also, if you can... get rid of that 275/30/20 and replace it with a 255/35/20 it will be just right!
