Thanks for the info. Do you still have the link to his thread by any chance?
This is my first car project (I have no experience dealing with wheels fitments
)

his wheels aren't much more aggressive than g35 coupe wheels in terms of outboard offset. they are relatively similar to what i had on my sc430 (which is close to what g35 coupe use)
The specs you posted are not that aggresive also a 275 tyre on a 9.5 is oversized, no stretch at all for a aggressive setup..
8.5 & 9.5 is not aggressive put the same offsets on a 9 & 10inch plus rim and then were getting somewhere..
If the specs are anything like these they will fit with only rolled guards, and trim of bumper location tab in the rear.
And you still will be atleast 10-15mm away from being flush.

OP mentioned 10.5" rear, even low 20's will require a lot of work.. very nice MrMark

Thanks man! appreciate that
I've sent a PM to the guy who has the same problem with me. He was also trying to fit wheels from G35 to 3GS but he resell the wheels.
Well, lets see what he is got to say about it.

Hey guys,
I found this site to manually measure the offset:
https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html#backspace
Is this a valid method?

Thanks....the original tires were 295's, but I swithced to 285 due to fitment, I went down to a 285. The picture was after we switched to the smaller width.

Hey guys,
The seller couldn't find the receipt (to look up the offset directly from the wheel maker). Also, I have asked a person from ISS Forged (a really friendly guy) for his opinion and he said that it probably won't fit even with lots of camber-ing. So, yea I guess I'll look for another one then.
Anyway, thanks for the input guys.
