The OFFICIAL "I have a wheel offset / tire fitment question!" thread

Kind of an unconventional question as to what you gurus are used to, so here's goes nothing.
The G37's have an m12x1.25 bolt pattern. I know they'll fit just fine, the offset isn't aggressive (quite the opposite actually), but the wheels I bought are made by another car manufacturer whose studs are sized m14.
The 2mm difference for the thread size used on a wheel, to me anyway, doesn't seem very alarming. I'm a noob, maybe I'm wrong. But assuming I'm right, my next question would be- Do I need to buy aftermarket lug nuts? I've always heard it's not a good idea to use stock lugnuts on aftermarket wheels, but I wouldn't necessarily classify these as aftermarket since they came on stock cars from the dealer...?
edit- also worth mention these wheels hub bore is 68.1mm as opposed to the G37's 66.1mm
Thank you in advance, I just don't want to die.
double edit- I found this in my research (on a Mercedes forum) and as much as i'd like to believe it, would like confirmation from someone on here, if possible.

I just got confirmation from Ace Alloy and Ron @ prestigewheel.com that as long as I have cone lugs for the cone seats, we are fine. They both state that it doesn't matter if they are 12mm or 14mm as long as the 60 degree angle is there on both the lugs and seats; which they are.

Luckily, everything should arrive at the same time, just in time for a Christmas mounting. Can't wait until Santa stops by. I'll make a post in the wheel picture thread once I have them all nice and mounted.

Hi all! I've got my eye on a set of 19x9 square setup of the sport coupe 10-spoke wheels for sale locally. There's lots of info about staggered setups, but not square, so it's got me wondering if running 9s in the front will be ok on my x sedan. Opinions please?

No problems at all. In fact, a square set of those 9" rears are more desired among the sedan family since they will sit slightly more flush.

Ok so after reading through all 148 pages of the Official Agressive Offset/ Hellaflush thread and not seeing anyone with this setup I think it's time to ask for advice, but from what I've seen I'm sure it'll be fine. I have a g37 coupe, lowered on Eibach springs. I just bought some 19x9 +15 wheels and I was going to go with 225/40r19 tires all around. With that being said, I have 2 questions.
1) do you think it'll rub with that setup and;
2) I'd like to run a 245/40r19 in the back, do you think that will rub with the bigger tire if I trim the bumper bracket and the fender liner?
