18" 350Z wheels on G37s for winter

Hi group, just got my self a brand new 09 G37s vert today, i'll post pics soon
There is still a good 2 months of bad weather so winter tires are a must.


I found a private that sells his nissan 350z mags 18". Here's a pic of his http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring...350z-5-big.jpg

Will those wheels fit on my G37s vert equipped with the 10 spoke 19", my front brakes and caliper are pretty big.

If they do fit, what's the best size of tires for them.

I've seen pics of the G37 sport sedan (with Akebono brakes) with the 350Z wheels. I believe they will fit on the G37 coupe as well.

I have them on mine. They fit fine without needing spacers or anything.

Those are Sport Edition A7; according to TireRack.com, they will fit on your G37 coupe with sport brakes.

I got my 350z wheels 2 18"x8" and 2 18"x8.5"

What's the best winter tire size compromise between snow/ice handling and looks.

Im running 245/40/18 all around. Theyre a little wider and lower profile than i wanted, but i got them for 200 bucks in brand new condition so i couldnt say no lol.

I would get 225/45/18 F and 245/45/18 rear

If you want you can even go with a 50 profile. At stock height with 40 profile my wheel gap is redonkulous. lol

Here it is, in all it's splender lol ! I love the looks of the 350Z wheels,even more when you see them turn. I had to change the original nuts to bolt the Nissan mags, the tire shop gave them for free

I got Toyo's garit KX 225/50/r18 all around. Everything fits perfectly and i see no strech with 225 on my 8.5 mag.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but better than creating a new one. Will TPMS sensors off an 06 350z work with an 08 G37 Coupe?

They should be programmed by the dealer for the 350z sensors to work with your car; there is a DIY thread that shows how to manually re-program sensors.
