G35 wheels on FD help

Ok I have a unique problem and was hoping you guys may have the answer
I got some stock g35 wheels to put on for a while till I get new rims. Are they supposed to fit? Someone told me the wheel hub base on our cars is too big for the narrow center cap base of the wheel.
I have spacers, and the larger wheels would cause the wheels to rub really bad if I don't take off the spacers. But im afraid they won't fit on right without them. Any help would be appreciated. Just trying to be on the safe side

No, you'd need some sort of spacer/adapter that went from 66.1 to 67.1.

You may be able to find a machine shop to open up the bore the extra 1mm, I've had that done to some Fikse wheels meant for a Z33 and they fit afterward with no issues.
