They are 19" SF Challenges. The fronts are 8.5" while the rears are 10.5." The offsets are +21 and +23 respectively. Please let me know.

It will be more aggressive than most around here and you'd be running a little negative camber, but yes, they can definitely work...

God I hope so cause I love these wheels. I just hope the fronts clear those brakes.

My 350z was totalled unfortunately. It would be nice to have something that carries on over.

Unfortunately, I think so... I was going to ask if you were dropped, because I think, without a somewhat aggressive drop, it won't look right.

Don't get me wrong, those are certainly not crazy aggressive offsets. People here are running lower. They will work. I don't want to rain on your parade. I just think if you're sitting at stock height with those offsets, it will look a bit funny.

So you think they'll stick out a bit? They should clear the brakes on a sport though right? Sorry for the 21 questions but you seem to know about this. I know nothing about wheels.

If you look at the stickers on the barrels, what disc are the wheels? Do you see a letter J on the sticker?

Did you have Brembo's on the 350z, if so there is a good chance they will clear the sport brakes on G37S.

It's gonna stick out a little bit, and I will recommend lowering it... My offsets are 9.5 +35 & 10.5 +37 and they sit pretty flush,, I kinda wish they stuck out a little more.

You can make it work. Slammed and stretched tires. You can't go any wider than a 255 tire in the rear. The front I believe clears the brake, but you should use spacers along with stretched tires to match the aggressiveness of the rear.

yea, it's a bit of work, and the end result is probably not to your liking. So you're better of selling the wheels and buying something with G37 fitments.

They can work but you will needs coils and a little neg camber to make it happen. And I think you could still use a 275 tire on the rear.

If it requires the car to be slammed I might not even try. And do you mean I need a camber kit to add negative camber?
