Just looking to buy a set possible for winter duty. Can't really get a straight answer from the dealer. If it clears the brakes Iguess is the main problem...

 

Doubtful.

 

no. they will not clear the brakes.

 

^ he said it... you can find something really cheap for winter use that will.. there are a few 18s that fit

 

anyone actually try fitting them on the car yet? like are you 100% sure?

 

they will not clear the break 100% positive. I bought 18" for my winters. Wanted to go the stock route. Dealer tried them on and said no way will not work.

 

Thanks Shumby, I guess my best option is buying another set of 19" OEMs because I do not want to spend extra money on TPMS...when I was looking at the IS350 they were quite expensive .

 

nope brakes wont clear!

 

I went with 18" for winters and the stock tpms fit but it was only like $55 for 4 new ones so i just bought them.

 

are you sure?

 

What about with spacers?

 

with spacers, i would think anything you want will fit.

 

Spacers won't make a wheel fit if there isn't enough clearance to begin with. Spacers can make a difference if the clearance is just short, but if the actual height of the wheel will not clear the brake it just isn't going to happen. Not sure if an 18 wheel that is concave will clear G37s brakes. Who knows though until you try.

 

Not to dig up an old thread.. but has anyone looked at the spare tire in the trunk who has sport wheels? It sure looks like an 18" stock wheel painted black with a temp tire on it....

 

some 18s will fit so im sure its just cut for the stock brakes..
