18" wheels replacement for the 19"

Hey guys i have a G37s Coupe US Specs & im looking forward to get smaller wheels 18.. Some tell me it wont fit the huge brakes "Brembo" & some tell me it will. So im confused whether it will fit or it wont. I also heared if it fitted. It will scratch the brake pads while turning. Please help,Thanks guys !

It would all depend on the offset on the 18s. if the offset is set little higher. Then you have a chance to clear the Brembo Calipers. But if the offset sit lower then chances are that you are not going be able to clear the Brembo's..

It's almost cold enough for me to switch over to winter setup so if the Brembo's are same size as the Akebono kit on my XS then my MB Wheels should fit. I'll let you know for sure how they fit over my Akebono's when I put them on my car within next 2 weeks as it's getting cold enough here finally.

Considering that sport sedans have the same brakes but are equipped with 18" wheels as original equipment, it's safe to say that 18" wheels will fit without issue.
