Hi all!
Going to join the G37 family soon; just waiting on the right time on the various options I have in my area. Coming from a 2004 Mazda 3s, so AWD is a must at this point. So as my sig says, I'll be rolling around in a G37xS sooner rather than later!
I've done a decent amount of work on my Mazda 3, and I'm looking to replicate that on the G37xS. I'm looking at the following wheel options that look like they'll fit with a squared setup from the research I've done and what I've found:
As for the Enkei Raijin wheels, I'll call them my backups. I sized them out on Tire Rack and was given the following:
Oh and of course, to complicate things, I'm looking at KSport Kontrol Pro coilovers with a very mild drop; however, I wouldn't want to get into that until I know what size wheels I'll be getting.
Thanks for the help in advance!

With a mild drop I'd run 19s, and the 19x8.5 +45 on 245/40/19s will be a good fit although I'd run a +35 offset if they have it available, it will look better being closer to the fender and you won't be so far out that you'll have any rubbing/poke issues. You could run up to a 9.5 +45 all around on the same 245s for a slight stretch but a bit more concavity in the rims.
When I mean mild drop, I mean no more than an inch. I was thinking around .75" drop up front and .5" in the rear. Maybe 1" in the front and .75" in the rear...just want to make sure I'm not "plowing snow" when it's that time of year.

Any thoughts on 18" wheels? I would rather stay at 18" for the sake of fuel efficiency (whatever I can get with this beast of an engine ), better ride, handling, etc.

Of the ones you listed the 8.5 +33 will give a nice fit at the fender, and again you could run a wider rim (up to a 9.5 +45) w/ those 245/45/18s.
For a mild drop Tanabe would be the mildest.
There's a lot of nice 18s on this site if you haven't seen some of them

No problem at all running 18s they're lighter, more comfortable, and cheaper.

So with a +33 offset (or any non-OEM offset), I'd have to get a hub centric ring correct? Any suggestions on a brand/type?

They have aluminum adapter rings on ebay, just need to be sure of the diameter of your new wheels' rings and then adapt down to the Infiniti diameter of 66.1mm. Tirerack sells plastic ones that are OK but don't hold up well if you're doing a lot of wheel removals.

It's not the offset that makes a hub ring required but most aftermarket rims have large hub bores so they can sell wheels for a lot of vehicle models, you then should get the hubcentric rings so they center on the Infiniti hub to further reduce the chance of high speed vibration.

Silly question, but would spacers like the link below be the same thing as hub rings, or am I confused?

I have a 2011 g37s sedan, stock suspension. I'm planning to run 245/40/19x8.5 front and 275/35/19x9.0 rear. Do I need spacers or will I be ok without?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Thanks. I was also concerned about the front hitting the inside of the (I think control arm). I wasn't sure if spacers would be needed. I didn't know if people put the spacers to avoid the control arm piece or just to have it more flushed.
