Need help, 18 rims on g37s possible?

Hey guys its almost winter and i need 18 inch rims. I have a g37s and i bought 4 18" inch bridgestone blizzaks for 250 0 tread and i need to put them to good use. Last year i bought some cheap konigs but they didnt fit because of the brake calipers would touch the wheel and ya u know how big our brakes are fing monsters. So im just wondering is it even possible to downgrade to 18 inch rooms from a G37s. Suggestions and help is always nice. I dont need a fancy wheel set just seomthing cheap for the winter CHEAP last year i spent 500 on the konigs and had to return them and took a loss pissed me off. Thanks guys.

Several members have purchased 18" rims from tirerack that fit over the sport brakes, I have not heard of any 18's from them (tirerack) that did not fit after all. So the ones that tirerack says will fit the sport apparently will...

Silent,

Did you find anything yet?

My Infiniti dealer in Calgary sells this wheel in their winter packages: http://fastwheels.ca/component/page,...art/Itemid,59/

I test-fitted this wheel this week - AR8 top right corner 18x8 +30 fits. Cheap too - $185 CAD each. http://www.formuladistributors.com/new.html

I didn't like the idea of running 18x8 rims all around, so I bought four 19" Blizzak LM-25's instead. Maybe it's best to find a wheel and tire shop locally and test fit various 18" rims.....

I remember a someone here put on the 350Z 18inch, and they were able to fit our brakes. I'm sure you can get a cheap set on any 350Z forum.

someone's tried it. close to the caliper. but the caliper also has a 12mm bolt that you can remove (it's purpose is to prevent people from putting the rear wheels on the front) for more clearance.

18's should clear g37s brakes any day.
