I'm planning to get the G37 but I want to get some wheels now. There's a group buy I want to get in. I'm hoping the specs will be the same for G37 as G35. I'm having a little doubt because the G37 is a little bigger...wider and longer to be more specific.
What do you guys think?

Man I would wait till it's released to make sure. It'd be a shame to get some custom wheels and have them be way tucked - or sticking way out.

^ +1, as much as you want them, and can get a better price from the group buy, you should wait a bit. But im sure theres somewhere you can find the exact wheels specs.

not to mention the offset might be a problem if the new wheels don't clear the brake calipers. Just a note, from what I read, the new G37 wheels will be 8.5 wide in the front and 9 wide in the back, so you can stuff a little more rubber on there than the current 19s the coupe has (8 front, 8.5 rear).

will 20 inches be ok on the coupe?

Umm why wouldnt they? Wheel size is all about offsets and tire width homie

Chili and Shane are right...

But if this question is asked a few more times, we might come up with an answer.

Well, it's all moot now. I did a Benedict Arnold. Instead of waiting on the G37, I saw an ad for a sale at JMLexus. I picked up a GS350 for a killer price. I'll be turning in the G35 when the lease is up in July.
I'll miss posting here, I'll still visit but won't post much since I won't have a G35. I can't believe I did this, I'll miss the handling and power of the G35 but let's face it, it's not a supercar or anything. Plus, the seat was too darn narrow for my big butt (267 lbs). All in all, I still loved it but you can't beat Lexus quality at the price I scored. The GS has 300 hp and after I lower it and put some 20's on it, the handling will be much better.

So now I have two GS's in the family, one for my wife, now one for me.

See you guys around!
