These 19" wheels come in 3 configurations from the factory, all appearing on sport models. The RWD sport coupe gets a staggered fitment. The RWD sport convertible gets a staggered fitment with slightly more aggressive rear offset to fill the wider fenders. Finally, the AWD sport coupe gets a square setup to appease the AWD system.

ALSO.. just to confirm before purchase..

Not trying to be hellaflush but just flush with 245F and 275R tires, 20mm spacers front and rear correct?
I posted more photos in my thread here:
https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...cs-inside.html

No spacers required. You can, but from all the photos I've seen it would look 4 x 4-ish without lowering.

Honestly, I'm torn because I think the traction would be fine with 225F/245R, mpg would be much better, and the tires would be way cheaper. But they look SO much better with 245F/275R. Like in the thread you linked, the narrower tires just look stretched even though that's the stock size. Just going to suck it up because I think they look great.

Anyone find black Infiniti center caps (OEM or aftermarket) that fit these wheels?

If you look at the chrome centercaps that these wheels come with, they have small, circular groves around the "Fuji" logo, making it a pretty rough surface that is likely very difficult to paint and achieve a nice, smooth finish

I used the caps from my OEM 18" G35 sport wheels. Albeit I didn't paint them because the color was close enough but I don't notice those circular grooves you speak of.

I've got 295s and it's even more fun, having that planted feel w/ the wider tires is worth it by itself. Plus the look is more icing on the cake

Check your OEM ones, they're there, like grooves on a record. Really doubt spraying them will look good. Thinking I might go with blanks and paint them black...

Well i may have messed up BIG time!

just got my Coupe 19" painted and the painter just called stating one wheel looked odd..

dont know how i missed this but they are stamped F 19x8.5J and the rear are different
19x9J and the other 19x9J30...

when i got them i saw that they were staggered. but somehow the 30 didnt register with me.. urg... what to do...

edit: and i have 2 pairs of 20mm spacers coming in..

So one of your rear wheels is a convertible wheel offset and the other three are regular coupe offsets? Tough spot if that's the case since having the wheels repainted would make returning them difficult if not impossible
if the wheels have yet to be painted you should be able to get it corrected through the vendor, assuming you bought them new that is.

If not I suppose you could just use 3 of your 4 spacers and just be a few mm off w/ that one rim.

I mean that's not really going to effect much other than the look of the wheels it would drive me nuts but at least you can still use it

like blnewt mentioned you can use a spacer
