350z touring V1 Wheels on G37s?????

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for this question and all i have is couple of different answers.

I am thinking to get one of these wheels(will post the pic) for my winter setup. However I am not sure if it will clear the big brakes.
There is no one selling these rims close to my city, (closes one is 3 hrs away). so it is not easy for me to just try them on.

I saw some people asked the same questions but so far i could not find a clear answer or a picture for reference.

PLEASE please does anyone know if these i can use these wheels for my G37S WITH BIG BRAKES...

Thank you..

Based on spec and offset they will fit. Not 100% sure if they will clear the brakes but workst case if they dont you can just add a small spacer to make them work.

Thank you, i think i will drive to the closest one that i found this week, which is 2 hours away. Can i understand if it fits good by just puting the them on with a jack and just turn them a bit to see if they clear the breaks. or do i have to do other checks too? and how can i tell if they don't rub the fenders if they stick out a little?

I can guarantee you that that won't rub on your fenders. Calipers, maybe LOL

I did some search before here and people say only the 05+ touring 5 spokes clears the Akebonos. I guess they are wrong. Did you need any spacers to clear them? Thanks!

No spacers were needed in my case. just remove and put the news wheels. all i had to change was the bolts.
I will try to take closer pictures, but all i have is an iphone camera as far as the quality of the picture, i can not promise much

So it is confirm that you don't need Spacers to run V1 touring wheels. I just pay a lot more to get a set of V2 touring wheels. Oh well.

BTW, Do you mean lug nuts when you mention bolts? I am pretty sure you can reuse the OEM ones since my 2010 FX35 is rocking the same 350Z V1 wheels as yours and I am using OEM lug nuts.
