Still working on Step 3.
You should be good Rochester, I was worried the fronts wouldn't pull in, but wow huge difference in the before and after look. I could probably even run a 10mm spacer in the front now.

I'd be willing to bet the info on their site is wrong. Pretty sure coupes had +30 rears also. Maybe they inadvertently listed the front wheel as "rear" for coupes.

I looked at the rears of physical wheels. I had initially ordered 2011 Coupe wheels but had returned them, the paperwork and the rear of the wheel was stamped as ET45 vs my wheels currently that are stamped as ET30.

Haha, your setup will look sweet with the swifts on...just right for my tastes. you're running a 275/35? or a 285/35?

I'll be darned. So odd they'd have different offsets between the two models. So Infiniti has 5 different sizes for the same wheel design! sedan front, sedan rear, coupe/vert front, coupe rear, vert rear. Those ET45 were also 9 inches wide?

Technically the sedan never got anything bigger than an 18" wheel. But yes the +45's were 19x9 as well. If you look at the body width of the convertible in the rear, you'll see that it is in fact wider than the coupe too.

There's a few pics in some other threads. Check the sedan picture thread at the top of this page and the swift spring thread, and the anniversary wheel thread below this one.

Who, me? No, not for a couple weeks at least. But when I do, for sure I'll have all kinds of pictures, probably in multiple threads. It's going to be really annoying. People will start complaining about it to moderators. Hate mail. Death threats.

Basically, the usual stuff that happens here whenever I mod the car.

It looks like Infiniti discontinued the 18" anniversary rear wheels.
No dealer in the country has them!

So just to make sure I'm not doing the wrong thing:
I've got a 2011 G37S running stock sport rims (18" duckfoot rims at 7.5", 8.5" widths)

If I decide to go with the anniversary 19" wheels, but I don't plan on dropping anytime soon, should I go with D0300-JL125 which are the 8.5" wide 19" wheels?
Too aggressive without a drop? Any risk of rubbing or anything?
Thanks!

They won't rub but will poke out from the fender a bit. If you're never planning to drop the car you may want to go w/ offsets in the +40s, if you're planning on a drop in the not too distant future the convertible offsets (+30) would be good.

You'll be fine with those, they are +43 I believe.
