G37xS sedan with OEM Sport bbk?
I am considering this upgrade, but need to find out if the OEM 18" x sport wheels will clear the calipers... does anyone have any idea? I know my 19" Nismo A34s will be fine.

I don't think the xS Sedan wheels will clear the bbk. The S sedan of course comes with the bbk and appropriate 18" wheels.

Yeah... that's what I was thinking too. Well, that's just more money to spend elsewhere then! lol

The xS wheels are 18" and not staggered. I doubt even wheel spacers would do the trick.

the 2009-2010 front wheels are the same on the G37xS and the G37 RWD sport w/ the OEM akebonos... why wouldn't they fit?

Ah. Didn't know the fronts were the same. I guess the rears would have clearance issues then?

why would the rears have clearance issues? they are virtually 4 front wheels and the rear akebono is just a 2-piston caliper

to answer it again, yes the 2009-2011 5-spokes will clear the BBK's....
the 2007-2008 18" wheels will not clear
these wheels work:
these will not:
