Anyone having any issues with running 225 50 R18 all around...any effect on VDC or antilock brake systems? The dealership says that the staggered tires are just as important for the winter due to these systems.

isnt tirerack pretty good about guaranteeing fitment. when u pick the g37 u can even specify whethere you have the S or non S so they must take the calipers into account I would think.....OP, where did you buy from? u should use tirerack...

Your dealer sucks...just like mine lol.

225/50 is what I am running and it's perfect. No worries.

Would it be reeeeally bad if I just put rear Blizzak LM-25's on? Will I notice a huge difference vs running all 4's?

Also, based on the comments above, if I just order the LM-25 wheel package from tirerack, I shouldn't have to worry about the rim they send not fitting, correct?

Mine is a '08 G37s 6MT

Found a set of 18" OE wheels off a 2008 G35s.

Width 7.5J
Bolt: 5 x 114.3
Offset: 45

Since it's off a 2008 G35s, I'm guessing the offset would be fine, should be a perfect fit, right?

No, from what I've seen, they don't fit. Just use tirerack.
