BTW, you've chosen some fantastic wheels. Only thing is... I would have gone wider.

18x9 +35 and 18x10 +38

Thanks for posting this info, it is a big help to those of us with thoughts of new wheels in the future. Be sure to post pics when you get the job completed!

Oh, most definitely. If TR and Enkei were to give you any problems, that would have been the (unfortunate) solution. Glad they have both stepped up. Props to them!

If this is going to be a winter setup; you actually want skinnier tires. I, personally, also avoided the staggered setup so I could rotate easier.

You took the words right out of my mouth. This is a winter setup, so I went with the smaller wheel/tire combo. Same reason for nonstaggered setup.

I plan on using the stock wheels during summer.

It's interesting that TireRack has another option after you select 2010 G37S sedan; "car built after or before 3/2010"; what changed for cars built after 3/2010? Did Infiniti stop using the BBK?

I ran for both dates and the results were basically the same so I have no idea what changed. I have a 2011 and it has the bbk so it hasn't been discontinued.

lol... didn't know it was for winter setup. I'd run these for track for sure. hahaha

Yeah, they're ideal for a track setup. Part of the reason I bought them is because I know I'll be able to get quite a bit of money back in a couple of years when I sell them. That's probably not true of the crappy ASA/TSW/??? wheels I was considering before this.

I also like the look of the wheels, and I don't think there are many wheels out there that can match Enkei's quality and weight for the $$.

By the way, TR called yesterday, apologized again, and are sending new wheels with a 35 mm offset and picking up the others at delivery. I couldn't be more impressed with how they've handled this. This is exactly why I was hesitant to order from tuner websites with names like "KickAzzWheelz.com".

Different TPMS sensors supposedly.

To conclude this post, I thought I'd post a few pics of the installed wheels. TR came through and delivered the wheels via FedEx (2 day). As expected, the wheels have a +35 offset, which makes them fill the wheel wells a bit better than I thought they would.

Not bad for a winter setup! I know the comments will include the word "drop", but I'm keeping stock suspension for now.

Thanks again to everyone for your input.

Nice. Those look good. Any chance of getting some shots further away from the car, so we can see the whole thing?

Glad everything worked out. I'm also waiting until spring to install the Eibach PK and exhaust.

These were photos in the garage, so I couldn't step back far enough. I'll take some better shots this weekend.

Are these wheels compatible with the stock TPMS?

Looking forward to see more pics.
