Wheel Questions...

I have a 6MT G37 (sport obviously) and have a few wheels questions...

1) I have an extra set of 19" G35 coupe wheels (the forged rays). I've seen threads about people trying to fit other G35 wheels, but has anyone tried the 19" rays?

2) I have traditionally used the silly jack that's in the trunk for changing wheels for my car. Since I will be switching out more often, does anyone have a recommendation for a good floor jack stand or other device that I don't need to plug in or have high pressure air? (Don't have much experience here, so any help is appreciated).

3) Anyone found a good 18" winter set-up for the G37 yet? (By that, I mean actually purchased somerthing off of tirerack or equivalent).

Thanks!

G35 19" OEM's will NOT fit the G37 sports as they have larger rotors and calipers.
google a good aluminum floor jack. easy to use, light to move around, and works well.

I'm trying to figure out a winter solution as well but I have no idea how to shop for wheels yet. I know I need to make sure I get the proper width for the front and back then most likely 18" diameter, and I know offsets are a concern... but I don't know what the tolerances are for each of these... If someone could post something like:
*SAMPLE*
On the G37S you need wheels that are:
7-9" wide on front
8-10" wide on rear
42-46mm offsets
This would not require spacers...
etc...

I have no idea what I'm talking about though.

Actually, we have a pretty good idea what offsets should be ... the trick is BBK clearance.

Some options in this thread:

I ran a 14" bbk 6pt 355 mm rotor on my 350z, and it cleared the g35 19" rays.
They should fit. Will they look good, thats a different story.
