Akebono brake kit on 2013 G37x

I have the below car and below rims. Everywhere I look talks about the duck feet rims which I do not have. I printed the available templates but before I take a wheel off and cut paper I’m wondering if anyone can eyeball this and tell me if the Akebono calipers will fit? These are not staggered wheels since it’s the AWD version.

I already have the calipers but before I move forward with bead blasting and painting I want to know if I’m going to need to buy new rims. Sorry if this answer is already out there, I’ve spent a few hours and found nothing like my rims in any posts. Thanks on advance for any help.

18"s are minimum size to clear the Akebono. I did the same swap, had to go up a size. Make sure your offset (on the new wheels) is good enough to clear them as well.

No, it won't fit - I had the same wheels and had to upgrade to bigger wheels to fit these brakes.

Would these fit on a g37x sedan for the bbk?

getting ready to spend some tax money I think.

Would these rims with 2mm spacers and 245/40R19 tires fit on a g37x sedan without rubbing and sticking out past flush to fit the BBK?
