I went back a couple pages and now I remember lol, since you already have the tires then yep, that setup will work and should get decent treadwear w/ the rear kit and the front toe in spec, and since it's a square setup being able to do full tire rotations will help too!
Just be prepared for some compromise w/ cornering stability on that wide tire/narrow wheel setup.

So as long as the toe is in spec, maybe purchase rear toe bolts, and I should be fine? I don't know ideal numbers off the top of my head but I'd like camber to be around -1.5 maximum right?
And the drop will, if anything, give me slightly more fender room?

The pirellis have a bit of bulge but the firehawk indy 500s actually sit very well. It is obviously a tiny bit out of spec for tire width but they've been super grippy, haven't noticed any issues so far. Maybe if/when I take it to the track for a day I think I'd notice some issues. But compared to all seasons, these are super grippy so it's still been a noticeable improvement in handling.

Get the full rear kit, either the 4 bolt kit(2 camber, 2 toe), or the camber arm/toe bolt set, you need both camber and toe adjusters to get everything in spec back there. And yeah, going to quality summer tires is one of the best "mods" you can do, those will keep a smile on your face

Your camber will be out of spec, but shouldn't be too bad, like -1.8 give or take, but you will have full toe adjustment through the tie rods so w/ toe in spec your front treadwear should be reasonable. This is something to just keep an eye on, if it's not within your acceptable range then you can look into a front kit. Most mild drops seem ok w/ just the rear set.

I am running Eibach Pro-Kit with rear SPC arm. I might get the front camber kit as well as it seems to have uneven wear.
I think the Enkei will look like dlightz2's setup.

Hello everyone - I'm a newbie looking to put the same size tire/wheel combo on all (4) corners of my 2010 G37s sedan w/ 6spd manual. I've been working with a sales rep at Discount TIre and we ordered some Verde Parallax 19x8.5 wheels with a +38mm offset and Michelin 245/40 R19 tires. We confirmed with Verde Wheels that they would fit the front and clear the Akebono front brake calipers, but when we went to test fit them, we found that they don't fit.
I'm new to the forum and have searched (unsuccessfully) to find out what size wheel+offset/tire combo will fit the car with the same 19" wheel at all (4) corners.
I don't plan on lowering the car or rolling fenders - suspension will be stock except for the new Hotchkis sway bars I've ordered.
Thanks in advance for any assistance/direction you're able to provide.

^^^How off was the caliper clearance? With an 8.5" wheel and a +38mm offset, you have plenty of room to add spacers and push the wheels out and clear the calipers. Case in point, I run a 19x9.5" +45 and I have 20mm spacers in the rear and 5mm up front. My wheels cleared the calipers even without the spacers but I wanted a flush fitment. I run a 255 series tire.

It barely rubbed - I hadn't thought about using wheel spacers. Is there a downside to using them - i.e. premature tire wear or alignment/suspension issues?
Also are all wheel spacers created equal or is there a brand better than others? Thanks

Spacers that are 5mm or less "should" work with your stock lugs but you need to confirm that you have at least 6 full turns on your lug nuts when torqued to 85 ft. lbs, if you get less than that you'd need to get longer studs. Also, you need to get hub adapting rings with aftermarket wheels, this will tighten up the hub bore on your new wheels to the Infiniti 66.1mm hub, your wheels are probably 73.1mm but you'd need to verify that (if Discount didn't include the hub rings that is )
And FWIW, if you are searching for wheels that will clear, go to tirerack.com and enter your vehicle as a "sport" pkg, and it will list only wheels that will clear the bigger brakes.
