The sedan and coupe rotors are 100% the same. If you are not lowered, a 10.5" +37 will poke out a little bit. I can't believe someone has not made that clear and you are getting the run around like this.... There is absolutely nothing wrong with your car. The rotors look different because of the way Stoptech integrates the parking brake on the rear.
There are only two ways around the issue (and this has been pointed out). You will have to lower your car, which will in turn increase the negative camber, and tuck the wheels in. Or, you can install a camber kit and tuck the wheels with an alignment change.

it might not be the rotors and all you might have to do is lower it and run neg camber. BUT i would double check the rotors, I would get ur VIN number and the VIN number that the brakes came off of and call infiniti to get the part number of the rotors for both to see if they match up, if they do then it eliminates the rotor problem. if they dont i would get the rotors that fit ur car. Thats where i would start. after that lower the car but i dont think eibach is gonna make u have enough neg camber in which those wheels will tuck.

Sooo... wtf I shouldn't drop it now? I was going to get Eibach's but now that will make the situation worse in myk's opinion? Should I just go to Infiniti and ask whatsup or something cause I feel like this is bullsh1t. Beerme186 or whatever sold me the wheels and IDK wtf is going on I try to contact him but this is getting to be bull**** and I'm getting pissed off. I don't think these offsets are correct...

Calm down man..
You can always measure your offset/get a good estimate. Sit your wheel on a level surface and measure the distance to the center

Well if we can get the OP to measure his widths and offsets, we can get that out of the way and work from there

To the OP.... Those are not aggressive wheels and the Eibach drop should take care of the issue. If not, buy a set of $100 camber arms and dial in a little more camber on the rear. Problem solved. I promise you can get the wheels to fit with an Eibach drop and minimal work.... There are several cars with the same offset and Eibach's that are just fine.
If you are unsure about the offsets, all Volk's should have a label with the offset on the inside barrel of the rim. Most also have it stamped on the back of the wheels around the hub.

Sport (Akebono) brakes were not offered on the 08 (G35) "sport" sedan, and that is why the part numbers are different. The 08+ coupes, and 09+ sedans use all the same parts for the Sport brakes. That is what the OP has.... not sure what else to say.

The 10.5" +37 rear wheel pokes out over an inch further than the stock sport wheels (about 27-28mm). If you ran 25mm spacers on the stock sport wheels at stock height, you don't think they would poke out a little?

OK.... Then OP is incorrect about the size/offset. I am quite certain there is not a problem with the hub/brakes (I find it funny that so many people are stuck on this). The size and offset should be easy to check on Volk's. I'll take bets that there is no other issue, and it is 100% alignment related or the OP is incorrect about the offset/size.
