If they are 17"s, be careful. The offset on the rear wheels are greater than the front. Gotta check on that.

thanks for replying!! they are in fact the 17" rims, i really had no choice though. i noticed that the front rims are wider than the rear like you mentioned but they will fit still right??

That's a tough call. If the only the tire size was different, i would. However, the wheel size? 17X7 front, 17X8 rear. Don't know how the ride will be affected, let alone the alignment. I think it's your call.

Im running the 17s off a G35, but im running a 5th Gen. I have no problems with the alignment, but I do get a bit of a rub in the rear when I have 4 people in the car with me. Im riding stock. I will have some pics soon, but I have no complaints about the wheels. Im running the 17X7.5 fronts and 17X8 rears with 225/50/17 in front and 235/50/17 in the rear Goodyear RSA. I got them cheap on ebay and I actually like the way they look on my car I dont know of anyone else running them.

ok i installed it a week ago and the front rims look like they stick out a little bit but the back rims are fine on my 98.
i still want some eibachs or something but if the spring are not cut or anything would it still rub? would the rim travel all the way into the wheel well when going over bumps or would they stop before they rub the wheel???????

Did you put the REAR tires on the REAR ? I put a rear tire in teh front to try it out and it had about 1inch clearance from the tire to the fender, I dont think it would rub unless you go over a huge hill or bump or something...
How big are your tires? Front/Rear

That I dont know. I was going to, but im still rubbing in the rear. I was told going from 50s to 45s will make that stop, so im going to wait until the tires wear out a bit. The Tires were brand new when I got them. they only had about 35 miles on them. Do you have any pics of yours?

Alright, I got a pic of the rims I just put on my car... G35 17's... blah you know the deal...
Im dropped on H&R's and I DONT rub with me and another person in teh car, BUT when I seat someone in the rear I do RUB.. Im rolling the fenders tomorrow to see if I can get rid of most of the rubbing until I get new tires.. (235/45/17)
I dont HARDLY seat anyone in the back, today was a special occasion tho so I had to... But overall.. I likes it :P
