Thanks again. Keep us updated.

As I search for new wheels, some of which might have spacer implications, that would be helpful.

I'm not keen on the small nuts provided with the spacers. But I do like the ease which which that type of spacer works.

I have kept in mind, however, that you have used the provided nuts with no issues. It's a matter of being a responsible car owner and utilizing the proper tools.

Is there any pics of the oem awd coupe wheels on a completely stock awd sport package sedan without spacers?

If someone bought the oem awd coupe wheels and puts it on their awd sport package sedan, are spacers needed? Will they not fit flush like the oem 18" without spacers?

Finally got the wheels on today. It's a G37xS sedan. Staggered coupe wheels (19x8.5 F & 19x9 R) with 245/40/19 all around (didn't want to mess with VDC/AWD). This is at 100% stock setting, but coilovers & spacers will be going on tomorrow so I will update with the new look.

Unfortunately it's not a square set, but hopefully this helps out the poster above me and anyone else wondering what it looks like on a stock AWD sport sedan. To be honest, it's flush enough if you were to stay at stock height, but if you dropped the car you'd probably want spacers since the wheels will naturally sink inwards due to the camber from lowering.

Or aftermarket camber arms, if you'd like to be in spec again.

Nice job! Running 245s all around won't look wrong at all since the stagger is so minimal, and good choice for AWD.
What coilovers are you running? Look forward to pics & reviews when you get it all together.

Thanks! I appreciate all the help and advice you've given. I'm going to run the Ksport Kontrol Pro true type coilovers. I'll have full SPC front & rear kits as well so I can adjust the specs to my liking. Didn't see too many reviews on this especially for the AWD platform so I hope I don't regret it. I heard some negative things about BC so that's why I elected for Ksport instead. I'll keep you guys posted!

Should be a good choice, the true coilover configuration may eliminate one source of the rear noise issues w/ the other X coilovers. Really looking forward to your impressions.

the93owner

Likewise! Can't wait to get them on. Everything's in the trunk waiting to be installed

Here's a pic for now, going to raise the front a little and then get it aligned. But so far it's looking great!

Very nice, it always takes a little tweak or two to get things dialed in just right but you're already close.

You're right it does look great.

Two questions:

What size and type of spacers did you go with?
What area of MD are you staying? I'm in Sykesville.

Spacers are from B2Designs. I used them on my G35 coupe and they gave me no issues at all. Hubcentric and everything, bolt right up for Nissan/Infiniti fitment. I went with 20mm front and 15mm rear; keep in mind my set is staggered so that explains the difference. When I roll my front fenders (eventually), I could probably go an extra 5mm all around and play with more camber, but at that point I'd probably just get a set of aftermarket wheels now that I have an idea of what specs go with my setup.


I'm in the Silver Spring area.

Also, wanted to see a side view with the 19s to see how it looked but missed out on that oh well

the oem 19s do not sit flush with the rest of the car like the stock 18s

Okay you've all inspired me.


So here's a quick and dirty one. Hot out of the shop, pre-spacer and pre-clean-up (so keep the razzing to a minimum ). Got them this AM (thanks pal51961).


19x8.5s square, Conti 245/40s (Thanks Brad, spot-on as usual ).

^Does it look odd on side angles? Is it pushed in a lot more than stock wheels or is it the same flushness?
