I think the coupe wheels on a sedan could use a 20mm spacer up front but the rears are flush as is.

This is without spacers. Think I'd need to roll the fenders to push them out any further.

What are the camber specs?

Also, look at the heaving, broken pavement you're on in that picture! There's no way no how you should be assessing fitment on that. Find yourself a nice flat, fresh patch of poured concrete and look again.

Anyway, gloss black Sport Coupe wheels look fantastic on your black car with window tint. Red front calipers really stand out nicely. Why aren't the rear calipers red?

Camber = ?
Haven't had time to get the car aligned after adding coupe wheels + new tires. This weekend perhaps. I'm pretty sure the alignment is subtly jacked.

I don't have the time to drive to another state. This is SOUTH Carolina, we're in the process of turning paved roads to gravel to save money.

Thanks for the compliments. The wheels are raw plastidip, I decided against the glossifier. It is over self-leveling primer which smoothed the surfaces some. I kinda like the semi-matte look. I like these wheels with the car much better than the 20"s it was on when i got it.

The red calipers are from a $6 bottle of "brake caliper spray paint" that I thought I'd try just to see if I liked the color - hence the fronts only. Minimal prep - hit the calipers with a steel brush and brake cleaner, draped them with a paint tarp, and sprayed... they came out really nice as long as you don't look at the entire thing LOL. Worth the time and effort as I now know I want red and not blue or silver, and I will do the rears sometime this spring. I might even take them off the car and blast/prep/paint/rebuild them properly.

Nailed it. Welcome to the forum, kirillkap (after lurking for 2 years, LOL).

Side markers? You're not in the States, are you?

I would like to get these rims but for my 2013 G37x Sedan. On the Sedans, the tire width are the same though so how can I put the coupe wheels on sedan?

Plenty of info if you do some research in this thread and others about tire size with the AWD.

AWD configurations are intentionally square. However, there's only a 1/2" difference in the staggered 19" Sport Coupe wheels, so it doesn't really matter. Not sure why Infiniti even bothered. The 18" Sport Sedan wheels are a full 1" width difference. That seems to make more sense to me, but I'm not an engineer.

You can find the wheels on ebay and craigslist and here in the FS forum. And I guarantee if you read this thread front to back, you'll become an expert on the topic.
