kiddmaff, looks like the problem is the bolts sticking out of the spacers. I dont think the wheels should only be resting on those points.
Maybe try different spacers? Post pics when you get them on!
I'm planning on getting 20" Time attacks when I get my G.

20 / 25mm spacers is a bit much to compensate for the stock big brakes. The wheels should really be set up with the proper backspacing on the face IN ADDITION to proper offset. The G37 / G37S offset is set up more like the 07 G35S and not the earlier coupes. You may be better off selling these wheels and getting something new.

Everything was looking good until i encountered yet another problem, now the wheels are sticking out about 1" passed the fenders and it looks retarded!! I'm using the lugs that came with the spacers but somethings not right! Anybody with wheel knowledge that could help? it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys it wasn't the news i was looking for lol.. but its reality. I guess i'll put them up for sale.


And "Black Out" the biggest offset for the Revo at 20" * 8.5" is 25 so it will not work!

I spent $4,000 on my rims and tires for my g35 and now that they dont fit the 37 and I'll be broke for the near future. No rims for me.

Do the Revo's have an offset that will work on a 19" wheel on G37s

And "Black Out" the biggest offset for the Revo at 20" * 8.5" is 25 so it will not work![/QUOTE]

Niello Infiniti in Concord has an 08 DG G37 Coupe with 20" TSW Thruxtons on it on the showroom floor. Didn't have my camera with me......if somebody goes by the area and can shoot a pic, it looks pretty good.

FWIW

I would LOVE to see that set-up if you get a chance to take pics...or anybody else for that matter. ;-) I'm in the same dilemma w/20's.

Same thing at Cerritos Infiniti. They looked pretty conservative though with 245 front and 275 rear. I think the G37 / G37S should be able to do 295's in the back.

My Car in Question..

Wheels that i'm trying to put on..

The problem im facing!!

Your nuts are wrong, plus that looks more like an adapter than a spacer..
Also of if your going to run a spacer like that your better off getting 20-25 mm longer studs.

I actually thought it looked too conservative. If 285 can fit on a new sedan, the new coupe should be able to go to 295, possibly 305. Who's gonna be the first?

I'm going to a wheel shop today to see if maybe they can put longer studs on the rotors. then i'll probably be able to use regular spacers.
