Infinity G35 18" rims

Does anyone know if these will fit an Evo? They have the correct bolt pattern and a +30mm offset. Clearance should not be a problem as they come standard on G35 Sports with the Brembo brakes. However, I am concerned about the hubs.

Thanks!

G35 has a 66.2mm hub bore, Evo has a 67.1mm... sorry.

Thanks SuperHatch!

Could they be machined? Would .9mm effect the structural integrity of the rim?

Sure

Impossible for me to know. Generally you don't want to machine cast metals. In this case you won't need to machine the entire hub bore, only the first 8-10mm or so. You're talking about taking 18 thousandths off of the radius of the hub. That's a very small amount, I'm sure you can get away with it. Just make sure you have a competent machinist do it for you.

I remember the Tacoma guys were machining out the bore of IS300 wheels and using them, don't remember anyone having a problem.

Thanks again superhatch and thanks for the info GVR. My father-in-law is a top-notch professional machinist, so that much I have covered.

Value, I saw them listed as weighing about 20lbs, so they are consistent with other cast wheels of this size.
