Can I make them work?

I couldn't find info anywhere regarding the Axis Shine wheels on a G37 Coupe. So if anyone is interested here they are. Of course my car is not lowered but I plan to go with an Eibach Prokit.

Question is: How can I make these fit? The back was rubbing pretty bad. I didnt drive around with the front on. The rear wheel is 10" and it has a 285/30/19 tire on it. Would a 275 tire make enough of a difference to make it fit with no rubbing?

Knowing the offsets would help

Lol did you buy the wheels w/o knowing the offsets? That can make a huge difference if the fit or not

I'm thinking of buying them from a friend that has a g35 coupe. He doesnt know the offsets either. I didnt buy them yet.

Oooo ok, my bad

You could either stretch the tires (but IMO that's a bad idea) you could try shaving the lining/bracket and add more camber as Wei suggested

I dont understand how a 275 is so bad when 90% of all G and Z drivers go with 275 on the rear. As a matter of fact the Axis Matrix wheels I have right now (which dont clear the calipers) have 275s on them and they are 10.5" wide.

My rears are 20x10 and I'm running 275 and it is too stretched for me, I'm going to be running 285 on mine soon. It's just a personal taste thing. I don't like the stretched look

I feel you but if it'll allow them to fit I would do it.

Here are some pics of the Axis Matrix 20"s I have. It looks like it's the same but with 275 tires and they are 0.5" wider.

Go lower, run some more neg camber, shave the bracket and cut the liner and those will fit fine.

Thanks for the input guys but wow. sounds like more than I'm willing to do. I could always buy the MRR GT-5's from my other friend.

Why not just get something that fits and save yourself all the headache and un-practicality
