(FDS3) Rx7 wheel fit

Quick question. I was told by the tire guys I went to that stock g35 wheels wouldn't fit on my fd without my spacers. But they stick out too far and rub with them. Friend gave them to me for now to get of stock 15's.
Does anyone know if they would fit on the stock wheel hub, or where I can find this answer.

Thank you in advance

The offsets on the g35 rims are too low. You'll need to roll your front fenders to fit. The rears should fit though. Stock FD wheels are 16"

The g35 wheels specs are

OEM wheel specifications:
17" wheels
Front: 17x7.5 +30mm offset
Rear: 17x8 +33mm offset

18" wheels
Front & Rear: 18x8 +30mm offset
Weight: 23.5lbs

19" wheels
Front: 19x8 +30mm offset
Rear: 19x8.5" +33mm offset

Thanks. I have the shine wide body fenders. So there isn't a clearance issue there. But the tire guys said that the center cap hub is bigger on the wheel hub, and too small on the wheel itself. So he said.
I figured if they fit the front they should fit the back. Makes sense, right?

Mazda wheel hub bore = 67.1mm
Nissan wheel hub bore = 66.1mm

The 1mm makes a difference. I actually ran into this probably a couple of years ago on a set of old school wheels. I ended up boring out the center on all of the wheels to the 'universal' 72.1mm. Spacers would have worked too but the offsets were already too 'flushed' to begin with.

Thanks a lot. Any idea where I could get the wheel hub bored out?

If you were in the SF Bay Area, I could point you toward a few reputable shops. Maybe check out the Texas/Houston regional section on this club. I'll betcha someone here knows someone who can hook you up..
