2012 G37xS sedan

What is the widest square set up have you guys got on the X sedan without rolling the fender and rubbing? How about if you do roll the fender? If anyone is running staggered setup have you had any problem with the AWD? Im looking for a flush fitment

I do have the larger sport brakes.
Just an update... Got the new wheels installed and they fit perfect with my existing tires, no rubbing etc. Thanks again!!!

I believe from reading the forums, these should clear:

F: 20x10 25ET
R: 20x11 28ET

my other choice is the +45 in the front, and the +52 on the rear, but I wanted to go more aggressive.
That's a pretty aggressive setup, are you dropped, and if so are you planning on running heavy camber? To get inside the fender edges under compression a stretched tire mount will probably be needed. If you could find a wheel you like w/ offsets in the +30 to +35 range it will be easier to fit w/ those wheel widths. And you could run a standard mount w/ your tires and less camber to get better tread wear.

Hey fellas,


*** "to the point" question at the bottom, this is the detailed version... ***


So I am going air soon and debating on what wheel i'd like to get, but until then I have some wheels I want to use for fitment when I get the air done. I had them on my G35 and was wondering if they would work on my 2012 G sport coupe.


They are 19s 10.5 +22 squared. I currently have 245/40 all around but I am assuming I will need different tires (at least in the front) to make them fit the way I want them to when aired out. Anyway, I'm mainly concerned with if I will clear the BBK on the sport coupe. With a 20mm spacer in the front included, I have seen some wheels with similar specs as these but about half an inch skinnier (but more aggressive offset) and they come REALLY close to the caliper in the front. So basically, with a 20mm spacer I will effectively make my front wheels 10.5 +2. I have used a wheel fitment calculator and compared the specs I am referring to that looked very close to the caliper (10 -5) and due to the extra half an inch width of my current wheels, it says I will be about 13mm closer on the inside, so I feel I may hit the caliper.


To put it short, I want to know if a 10.5 +22 with a 20mm spacer (so, 10.5 +2) will clear sport coupe BBKs. And as said, it's a square setup so if you have any comments about putting a 10.5 +22 in the rear, please let me know. Thanks.

Hello

Found some staggered Stance rims and tires on local craigslist coming off of a lexus is f

https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/wto/5307007480.html

I have an 08 g37s coupe
I have confirmed the following information from the seller:
20x9 et20 245/35/20
20x10.5 et27 275/30/20

Assuming these will fit but want to make sure they'll clear akebono's as well as not have any problems on eibach or swift springs

Thanks in advance

Here's a couple setups that are close to your specs (without any spacers)
One running 255s the other 275s

Since you have the wheels in hand it should be pretty easy to confirm clearance at the calipers. If you're worried about dinging your calipers you can use these templates. Hopefully you can get by without spacers or just very thin ones, as that fit is going to be tight as-is.

BTW, what wheels are you wanting to fit up?

Do you mean the ones I currently have or ones I'm leaning towards in the future? The ones I currently have are some reps...Vordoven mvmt-1 19x10.5 +22 squared. Not entirely sure on the ones I'm leaning towards, but I like the AG f series like the 141.

Yes, I was talking about the ones you currently have.

Yea, I'm gonna test fit them to see. They're advertised as "fitting most larger brake applications". Do the BBKs on the G37 coupe stick out just as far front and rear?

Take a look at those templates I linked above, the rears don't protrude into the spokes as deep as the fronts but still take up almost similar room in the barrel.

Have the new wheels and tires installed today

Hi All,

I received the wheels and tires at the first of the month, but haven't had time to install them till Monday.

These are the first pictures with the new wheels and tires.

Just to refresh the thread I chose:

Konig Oversteer 18x9 +35 wheels -- square
255/45ZR-18 BFGOODRICH G-FORCE SPORT COMP-2

They have all but 50 miles on them and it was raining pretty good today with 45F temperatures.

Here are some pics for the gang. I had some time to kill when the storm cleared.
FYI my setup is swift springs, Koni Yellows, and Hotchkiss sways.

They fit perfect! Thanks Newt

Those Konigs really look good, nice choice and the fit is Those tires should get even better after they get scrubbed in a bit, couple hundred miles and they should be glue. What happened to the center caps??

Hi Newt,

Yeah I am waiting for the black vinyl to arrive so that I can black out the Konig emblem in the center caps. I will use your DIY for blacking out the stainless window trim and trunk stainless.

hey thanks for replying, I dont know why I didn't see this sooner. I'm dropped on Tanabe NF210 springs, but will probably go some coils soon. Is it necessary for that wheel setup?

tires.. i was thinking possibly a 245 or a 255/35/20 on the rear?

I don't plan on running it in heavy camber, I just want it to sit nicely on the wheel, and possibly run it a bit camber as necessary, but nothing crazy.

thoughts?
