You mention there is less than 10mm of clearing space between your stock 18' wheel and the BBK, any issue so far?
Vossen CV2 was sold - great wheels/very strong IMO (i daily in NYC)
I wanted to go with lighter wheels so this Forgestar wheel was custom offset with no more than 27 lbs each.

stock sport 18's were very close to the caliper, but it gave me zero issues.

is there a DIY with a parts list to do a conversion to the BBK brakes for the 4dr awd?

I'd be interested

Swapping Brembos from G35 to G37xS Sedan ? and Staggered Rims

you can get zinc coated stoptech rotors to prevent rusting or you can paint them yourself as well with high temp ones.
I have AWD sedan with akebono bbk.
Im about to buy a G37xS 2012 Sedan and I have Red After Market 4 Pot Brembo Brakes (BBK) with Street pads. Will they fit on the G37XS swapped without any problems or would I need spacers?

Another question: I have 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 Rims and was wondering if this staggered setup will fit on the G37xS Sedan 2012
19 x 9.5 +12 offset
19 x 10.5 +12 offset
255/35
285/35
... Great Help would be appreciated.. I am basically selling my 05 G35 Coupe was wondering if my Brembos and Rims could swap into the G37xS 2012 Sedan. TY

i dont think G35 coupe brembos will fit on G37 sedan.
also, stagger set up will fit but the above offset is very rough. u will need to stretch tires + fender roll/pull + mad negative camber to rock that.
BTW, that tire size will never fit on that offset. also tire size is wrong to run proper stagger for AWD.

What kind of tires should I be running on those rims ? I plan on rolling the fenders already. The tire setup up works perfectly on my G35 Coupe.. But the sedan i'm not sure thats why I asked for some help..
I heard G35 Aftermarket Brembos can fit on G37 coupes.. not sure about sedan though.

Even though there is a tire size recommended for AWD staggered setup, it's not recommended. AWD systems depend on the tires being worn evenly as circumference differences place added stress on the system. Even if you do get same size tires that will mount on both front and rear staggered rims, are you going to dismount and remount the tires every time you rotate them? Some here say it can be done, but I, Infiniti and other members here beg to differ. Can it be done? Sure. Can it be done well? No.

I had no idea the xS sedans don't have the Okebono's. Instead of a Sports package, I guess it's a Sporty package. The sports package should be cheap on the x sedans if that's all they include with it. Do the xS coupes have Okebono's?

yeah the coupes have sport suspension and akebonos.

I was wondering. Since my 2012 g37xs sedan has no akebonos can I just purchase the calipers and put them on my oem stock rotors? Any suggestions or experience with akebono conversion? Thanks

^ no. the sport calipers are paired with the sport rotors & pads. non-sport pads and rotors are smaller. one won't fit with the other. just like you can't buy sport rotors and use non-sport calipers. you either go full-conversion, or leave it non-sport.

I too would like to know if it fits on sedan x or do you need spacer to clear the calipers.
Tks
