Yes, I'm interested too. I live closer to the city (Westchester area).

You don't have to buy a new set of rims at all... It is just recommended to go down to 18" rims because the sidewall of the tire will be longer and you will get better traction. You can still use your stock 19" if you have a sport model and put 19" blizzaks or other snow tires on there.

I need some help for winter wheels...all the rims on tirerack that are decently priced are on back order...i need to know the exact size and everything for a 18" winter rim that would fit a G37S. I know the Sport Edition A7 fits but i couldn't find alot of info on it.

Whats all the info i need in wheels sizes for an 18" to fit a G37S?

Thanks ahead

It all depends on if the wheel will clear the brakes... you have to find out if the rims you want were ever test fitted on a G37 with sport brakes.. there's no other way to find out if they would fit.

I thought you can find one that fits by its specs.

Does anyone else know of any 18's that fit the G37S that aren't too pricey?

look for 06-08 350z 18's that are 5-spoke. they clear our brakes. I picked up a set of rims only that I might be selling if you are interested PM me. no tires though

Just making sure...

So I have a G35c with oem 18s with Dunlop M3s for my winter setup (225/40/18 and 245/40/18). I'm planning on getting a G37 6MT in the fall and seems like the 1st gen 18s won't clear the calipers. Love the setup on my 35 and have a lot of tread left, but seems like they won't fit on a 37 6MT. Sooooo.....

Am I right assuming I could pick up some 350Z 5-spoke 18's, transplant my 18s onto them and have that as a good winter setup?

yes you can. it is somewhat difficult to find a nice set of OEM 350z 18's 05(anniversary)-'08.... i have just 2 rear 350z 5-spoke rims (no tires) if you are interested in them.

I've seen a few sets floating around the my350 site, I'll probably start seriously looking in a few months. So you ran a similar setup on your 37?

I love my 35 18's but those 350 5-spokes are be-auts. Thanks for the help.
