Will These Rims Fit & How Are the Dunlops in Winter

I found a local guy who is selling the below rims with Dunlop tires.

Some questions for you guys -

1. Will the rim clear the brakes on the '08 G37S?, and
2. How is the Dunlop tire compared to a Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 (in the winter)?

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks a lot!!

No the rims wont clear the sport bbk without spacers.

I have those tires on my winter set. Theyre pretty good. Never had blizzaks so cant compare.

STOOF - Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where do I get spacers and how much are they? Or is it not worth getting these rims due to that? I don't want to have to change a bunch of stuff on the brake or my car in order to accomodate these rims. They're used and I may get them if he comes down on price (right now he's selling all 4 for $800 with 75% tread). Otherwise, I already have a winter set on order from tire rack that will clear the brake (I will cancel that order if this goes through since it is not due to ship until late Nov), and those are brand new. Just want to weigh both options here, to see if it's better to just pay a bit extra and get new ones with Blizzaks and Sport Edition A7 rims that fit without spacers.

Thanks again!
