Exclamation Why are my rims not fitting properly?

Why are my g35 wheels not fitting on my 98 sc? The rim is not flush it sticks out and its not straight. Its barely sitting on the stud does not bolt right up and yet they go on a 92 sc without a spacer and no problem, to my understanding.

which G35 wheels? are they actually off of a G35, or are they ebay replicas with a different pattern? post up a picture if you can, cause it should fit with no issues.

I second this. You are probably missing Hub rings.

I have tried aftermarket wheels made for G35's and the hub centric ring is smaller for G35 so you will have to bore it out

You don't need rings to put the wheels on. But if you're using them and they are the wrong size, the wheels won't fit. Nissan hubs are 66.06mm and Toyota is 60.1mm.

Do you have spacers on the 98 SC?

You don't need spacers. Do have the plastic hub rings behind the wheels? If so, remove them and they should fit. If you want to use the rings, you would need the right size hub rings for a Nissan oem wheel (66.06) to a Toyota hub (60.1)
