I threw some 245 wide tires on one front and one rear rim... I'm going to test fit on my G35 tomorrow. I need to find a local G37 for a test fit as well. I'm absolutely sure they'll look wicked on either. Yes, I said 245 - that was just because I had them laying around, I have NO intention of driving around on that haha
and when i said -3 camber, I was referring to the thought that a car with more than -3 camber in the rear looks wierd.
I have Tein mono flex's on my G35....
I'll post pix tomorrow :-)

EDIT: SO I made the mistake of test fitting these... I threw on two 245 wide tires solely for the test fit, so don't judge me. The fronts have on a 20mm ichicba V2 spacer.

I see it this way... if G35's can rock +0 offset, G37's should have no trouble going +15 or so :-P +23 without the fender pull lol
I just don't have a local lowered G37 to try them on!

Here is the math that I did...
Front:
OEM G37S Wheels: 19"x8.5". Offset +43
NISMO Wheels: 19x9.5 offset +40
Since the rim is one inch wider, it will stick out half an in more (the 1 inch is split half half onto each side of the wheel). Also, since it has a lower offset, it will stick out 3mm more. So in total, the Nismo wheel will stick out 15.7mm (half an inch+3mm) more than OEM, which seems to be completely fine.
Rear:
OEM G37S Wheels: 19"x9" Offset +45
NISMO wheels: 19x10.5 Offset +23
Since the rim is 1.5 inches wider, it will stick out 0.75 inches. Difference in offset is 22mm. Combine both and the rear tire will stick out 41.05mm more than the OEM wheel, and that seems to be far too aggressive…
Does it make sense?

I love those!
I can fit them no prob.
Gee37 your math is close but not quite right. I know how you got there, but its like this.
Every 1/2" = 6mm offset
So since its 1.5" wider, you knock off 18mm, 10.5 +23 is the same as 9 +5.
Im currently running 10 +17 with a 245/35/20 and neg camber. thats the same as 10.5 +23
If youre in Ft laud ill be in wpb from the 24th to the 1st if you wanna test fit.
