Use that site....seriously (I spent hours on it lol). It will show you the offset also. The setup you posted on the other thread the wheel's rolling diameter was gonna be different (you CAN get same diameter, don't try to compromise even 1% not worth it). Anyway any of the offsets vossen sells for g37 is a direct fit UNLESS you have a BBK installed. Just email them to double check, but for a g37x you shouldn't have any issues.

your truly a savior!!! thank you so much!!! you really saved me some time!

i dont wanna copy yours but if it comes down to it i might have to

if i have any problems doing this ur the first person i'll come too haha

THANKS!

keep in mind that site tells you the OD of the tires, you need to calculate the circumference. the circumference is what matters

Yup circumference is the most important. It's actually the 10th stat the calculator spits out (just scroll down) it's all there : )

Circumfrence = 2*pi*radius. Pi = ~3.14, and radius = 1/2*OD.

I called Consumer Affairs at Infiniti USA a while back about this issue. I spoke to a guy in the tech department and he said very specifically that anything below 5% difference is ok
