Aftermarket rims G37s

How do u know what 18 inch rims will fit the G37s because I know there is a clearance issue due to the larger brakes. Is it true that only the 18 inch sport edition A7 rims will fit or are there other ones out there as well, and if so which ones?

Anyone have pics of the 18 inch sport edition A7 rims on their g37s?

For the wintertime, 18's are cheaper than 19's and it seems like they get better traction too.

There are a lot of 18s that fit over the Akebono's. TireRack has theirs listed under the winter wheels category.

And if you check DiscountTire and DiscountTireDirect, plugging in your vehicle, the 18s will show up as an option as well.

The size of the wheel really has nothing to do with traction (in the case of 18 vs 19 at least). It's all about the tires you run on them.

18's are generally narrower which can be better in the winter.
