Here is one for you. I just picked up an '11G37X sedan. I'm not nuts about the fender gaps but don't want to lower the car - I live on a dirt road in Vermont.

Will these wheels work? Will they help to close the gap or is overall wheel/tire combo circumference the same as my stock 17s? Will I need spacers or will I have to mod anything to go with 18s?

You won't need spacers. Use the tire and wheel calculator at the top of this page to figure out circumference for yourself.

Short of lowering it there's nothing you can do w/ the AWD tire-wise to decrease the gap, you'll have to go to a bigger diameter tire and this will be way out of range for your AWD, traction control, abs and speedometer.

i'm going to put oem coupe 19s on my journey sedan that will have swift lowering springs installed. should 245/40/19 & 255/40/19 (or 275/35/19) fit without rubbing? it almost seems like i might as well go square on the tires, but the wheels will be staggered.

Since the wheels are staggered I'd avoid the square setup, 245/275 combo would look best IMO.

Here's the 19" coupe wheel info

Tires: Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 225/45/19 92W. UTQG 140AA, weight 27 lbs., tread depth 10/32"

Rear:
Wheels: 19"x9". Cast aluminum. Made for Nissan/Infiniti byEnkei. Weight: 27.5 lbs. Bolt pattern 114.3 x 5. Offset +45
Tires: Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 245/40/19 94W. UTQG 140AA, weight 30 lbs., tread depth 10/32"

Other: Lugs- 60° tapered seat, 2.7oz/76 grams each. OEM wheel locks- 3.2oz./91 grams each. Center caps .3oz./14 grams each. TPMS sensors (with valve stem & collar) 1.2oz/34 grams each (Part # 40700 -JK00B) .

I'm running 20x10 +45 w/ 295/30/20 w/ no rubbing issues. You'll be about 12mm inside of mine from the fender edge (although you'll be out a bit from that since you're higher up than me, I'm at zero gap on coils) I'm thinking maybe 5mm out due to being higher so still 7mm in from my setup. Here's a pic for reference.

Tire Fitment Question!

Please help, I would like to run this set up on my 2008 G37s Coupe...
WORK VS-XX Burning Black
f: 20X9.5 -5 AND R: 20X10.5 +10 // nTYPE: O-DISK
TOYO EXTENSA HP F: 225/35/20 R: 245/35/20

With this setup, would I require any additional work or items like rolling out fenders or spaces? Also would run into any rubbing issues?

Thank You!

You can make this set-up work but youre gonna have to do some work... youre gonna have to roll your front fenders, trim the rear bumper bracket and use a camber kit to get the appropriate negative camber required. On top of that, you will have to be slammed to pull this off... Those tires sizes would work with the appropriate stretch needed as well...

Thanks for the reply! What kinda of set up would I have to run if I don't want to roll fenders or do some trimming? I'd still like to use the same rims and same size F: 20 x 9.5 R: 20 x 10.5. The tires don't matter since as long as I don't have to roll or trim.

for the coupe platform i think a +22 on a 9.5 is perfect. Anymore and you will experience slight rubbing. For the rears, a +30 on a 10.5 would be a perfect combo for the +22 fronts. A + 30 for the rears will require trimming the rear bumper bracket which is no big deal. Again, trimming and not shaving the entire bracket... its removing a little extra plastic off the bumper from where it is held by the metal bracket. i thought trimming was a big deal at first but its nothing that would cause any issues whatsoever... i shaved my bracket a little after trimming it as well.

Sounds good. My intentions were to get a fitment that looks like this white G37 on stance nation >>> Low N Slow // Infiniti G37 Coupe Duo | Stance:Nation - Form > Function
With the +22 and +30 do you think i'll get the same look as the white G on stancenation?

If you read the further on that set up, ...."Offsets are -5 & +10 while the tires are 225/35/20 up front and 245/35/20 in the rear. Perfectly flush fitment is where it’s at for this ride. In order to achieve that fitment Von had to work with BC Racing coilovers, SPC Camber kit and of course some fender rolling and slight pulling."

like I said earlier, you would have to do some work to the fenders... Rolling fronts and not much but a small pull for the rears...

The +22 and +30 would def look good... Specially over the stocks set up, thats for sure... Im on my phone so I cant search as quickly to show you pics but there are def set up on here with those offsets...

Can anybody tell me if I will have any fitment issues in my G37S if I were to run Volk GT7 wheels, 245/35/19 19x9+23 fronts, 245/40/19 19x9.5+24 rears. I'm currently lowered on coilovers to about 26" fender height, running -1.5/-1.8 camber (front/rear).
