01GS300 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm thinking of replacing the stock 16" rims on my 2001 GS300 with some 17's from a G35. Just wondering if it matters that the centre bore on the 17's is 66.1mm and the stock 16's is 60.1mm. Will I need to use a hub ring? Has anyone done this and if so did you have any vibration problems. I believe our rims are "hubcentric" correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rims are from a 2003 G35 Coupe and the stock size that year was 225/50/17. I am actually considering the "upgrade" only because I could get a great deal on the 17's with almost new tires included. I'm reluctant to go to 18 or 19" because even though I'd like to improve my handling I'm more worried about keeping my smooth ride. Although I occasionly drive a little aggressive 90% of my driving is just highway cruising so it's more important to me to have a smooth quiet ride.
