Will G35 wheels fit.

I'm about to buy these wheels. They used to be on a g35 as winter tires.

Mille Miglia 17x8 +35 offset
225/50/17 in the front and 225/55/17 in the rear

Will they fit on my rx8? It's stock height, stock suspension.

By stock suspension do you mean Sport suspension? Is your car auto or manual?

yes you'll be fine but your tcs is gonna be kicking in with those rear tires so you might have to disable it as you drive or match up a pair of 225/50-17 on the rears

The wheels that he is referring to are not actually G35 wheels, they are aftermarket wheels that came off of a G35. Obviously they will be the same bolt pattern and will have the standard 74.x mm hub bore so the rims will fit just fine but that rear tire size is what will give him problems

The TCS will only do something if the tires are miss match from side to side not front to rear.

They will fit fine...

but when you replace the tires use the same aspect ratio on both front and back....
