Do you have spacers on the 98 SC?

That's weird...I had tried on some asanti's from a friends G35 and the wheel wouldnt go in the hub and I figured the're hubs are smaller but never cared to research on it.

I don't like the look of these on an SC anyway.
Infiniti stockers on a Lexus just seems so inappropriate to me.

Like some one said, the center wheel bore is larger on Nissan than Toyota.

Technically they are not stock Infinity wheels. They are optinal Rays Engineering forged wheels for the G35. Those wheels are the cheapest, lightest forged wheel you'll ever find, but to each his own.

Almost every wheel brand has a dual 5 spoke wheel that looks simillar to the G35 wheel, so why not get some for a really good price?!

only if they concaved like the cr-kai's...
but my guess would be you had a hub ring on the hub and a hub ring (or a small bore) on the wheel and installed it that way, thereby creating an unwanted spacer.

ok they fit...still don't dig it. The wheels are instantly recognizable as G35 stockers. Doesn't metter who makes them they belong on Infiniti's and the G35 in particular.
If they weren't so easily recognized it would be different.
