Pulled the trigger......
Just bought a set of the 19" Rays alloys. They look mean and totally change the look of the non-sport G37x. The only thing I don't like about the set I bought is that the guy has RE050 tires on them and the rear tires protrude just slightly due to the rim protector. I am told that I have to go to the dealership to get the tpms registered to the sensors.

Nova,
Those look awesome. Do you mind if I ask how much? How do you like the 50% tint? Does it help much? Can you see into the car from the outside? Reason I ask is I'm in NJ and it's illegal to have any tint on the front driver or passenger windows. I was thinking 50-60% would give a subtle look and keep me off the radar.

tint: VA law is 35% back window and 50% on the side...I stayed uniform with all windows for a clean look...the 50% looks good on mine because my interior is the black leather...so it's not too dark but still gives a slightly darker look due to the darkness of the inerior...yes, you can see into the car from the outside

Quick question:
The front wheels are a perfect fit...really, they look amazing. The rear wheels/tires stick out about 1/4 inch from the fender. A different tire without the lip protector will help solve the issue
Can the 2010 G37x rear fender be rolled at all?

ride quality is actually quite good...not rough...more like a BMW type ride...if it weren't for the 1/4" sticking out, I would be 100% satisfied...still trying to see what I can have done about that issue...I don't know if the fenders can be rolled or not...and negative camber would put odd wear on the tires, true?

255/40 would be about 10mm in further. It will be a 1.7% difference in diameter and throw off your spedometer by about 1 mph. The tire would also be more stretched. A drop might also help a little too. So you noticed sharper steering response vs stock? And it is not too bad over pot holes/bumpy roads?

the ride is stiffer, not like a tank though...more like you're in tune with the road...you can feel bumps but it doesn't feel like the bumps are causing issues...I steer clear of pot holes so I don't know what they feel like yet (thank god)
