Hey guys. I just purchased a new G37 and wanted to know if the tire rating 225/45-17 off set would work?

The number you are asking about is not teh offset it's the tire size. That tire should work if it fits your wheel.

You might want to check your ratio to make sure it doesn't cause a problem with your VDC. I believe the AWD coupe tires are 225/50R18? If you go down to 17", I think you need to be 225/55R17. I would either check the wheel/tire forum or just call Tire Rack.

If you have an xs coupe then you have the sport brakes and 19 tires. The 17's wont fit over the brakes.
