I believe so as wheels are sold interchangeably with the G35s and the GS. The only thing to watch out for is offset as the G35 can take lower offsets than the GS can.

No. Offsets are way too low.

well it will depends on the width too, offset means nothing without the widths

but in general, if you are talking about g35 coupe, then if it's a good set of wheels that fit the g35 nicely, it will more than likely NOT fit the gs, coz' the gs can't take that low of an offset with the same width.

Totally agree. G35s can fit nice low offsets with deep lips while the GS can only dream of fitting those.

Assuming the G35 was setup optimally, unless you are planning to do flares or doing fender mods and some neg camber, I'd stay away. Even with doing the latter, it will be a marginal fit.

Bottom line, look at another set of wheels.

from the very few offset numbers i have seen, the g35 coupe seems to fall in line more with the sc430 fitment

Offsets of the HRE's on my G35 coupe are front 17, rear 31, wouldn't you say that's still too low for the SC430 ?

Depending on the back spacing, going from GS to G35 is easier since the GS offsets are more conservative. Going the other way is the issue. (I am ignoring brake issue and am just looking at spacing fitment. )

I would imagine the wheels now sit more recessed in the G35 than on the GS making it look less aggressive than on the GS.

I know (how do I put this nicely) that G35 or 350Z rims don't belong on any Lexus. As LExus wheels do not belong on any Nissan.

that's 8.5 and 10? if so, then i think it will fit. there are actually still room in the back for the sc430
