Volk TE37 18x8.5 rims
Hello,
I've done some searches and it seems like the rims in question would fit, but I figured I would make sure. I have a set of 18x8.5 Volk TE37 Time Attacks on my current car that I would like to move on to a 2010 G37 sedan. The offset set is 50mm. As I read, the stock rims are 48mm. I'd like to confirm if the set I current have would actually fit without any problems. Would I need any spacers at all? Any help would be much appreciated. I know a lot of people are looking at 25mm offsets, but I'd like to make do with what I have - assuming it fits. Any rims experts? Thank you.

Haha...it might. I figured I would try it anyways. Worst case scenario is I don't like it and I will sell the rims to buy another set. I already have the rims from my current car and I'm purchasing the G37 in the next few weeks so it's not as if I'm taking a chance by buying something new just for it to look bad. We'll see what happens. Thanks for confirming on the offset anyways.

In English please? I do not speak whatever that is.
The stock wheels are staggered as follows:
Front - 19"x8.5" +43 offset
Rear - 19"x9" +45 offset
The OP is planning on using smaller radius, thinner, non staggered wheels. It will look even smaller and more sunken in, giving the impression of riding on 4 spare doughnut tires, hence looking horrible.
Best best is to sell the wheels and use the funds to purchase a proper fitting set for the G37.

The OP said it was a sedan. I thought the sedan comes with 18" wheels on Sport and 17" on Non-Sport?

IMO
For a sedan, get some nice and wide 20s

My mistake, I actually have the CE28's. Size wise, the stock one's should be the exact same size - 18 x 8.5. Nonetheless, my main concern is just the fitment. I figured since I have the rims and also the bolt size is exactly the same, the only thing I am losing is time to manually swap out the rims and tires. No extra money out of my pocket to worry about. If nothing else, I put it on and take a few pictures for a few quick laughs and then figure out what I want to buy next. We'll see in a few weeks...=)
