350z Ray wheels

Does any one know if the 18" Ray wheels from the 03-05 Nissan 350Z track edition will fit on the G37 sedan with the Akebono brakes:

The 350Z track edition came with Brembo brakes, I wonder if the Akebono brakes are much bigger.

Anyone?

No, I ended up getting the 350z anniversary wheels because I knew they clear the BBK.

are you positive? I'm looking for some 18" rims to put some winter tires on and I love that wheel. Do you have any pics to confirm?

Thanks. Now the question is, are the Akebonos the same size on the Coupe and the Sedan?

Yes, they are the same akebonos.

Even though Akebono are bigger than brembos, it's the width that matters. I was able to put a set of SSR off my 03 g35 6mt coupe onto my G37 coupe s and it cleared the front calliper exactly the same, by a hair. The rears are no problem either.

Can anyone confirm that these will fit/clear G37S Sport brakes w/o spacers?
