Wheel size to clear front brakes on G37 Sport

Hey everyone. I'm slowly learning the little things about being a G37 owner. The first hard lesson that I learned is that not all wheels from across all three trim levels (base and journey) will clear the front calipers. I bought a set of wheels from tirerack and I was told that a wheel from the base trim would also fit the sport trim. Definitely not true as I scratched up one of my calipers trying to get it to go on.

The wheel size I had was 18X7.5 45mm offset, backspacing 6.06"

For the Sport guys/girls, what 18 wheel setup will clear the front calipers? I need snow tires ASAP as the weather in the north is already peeking it's head through the door.

Thanks!

If tire rack said it would fit, they should be flipping the bill for the return shipping when it doesn't fit. Also, your initial shipping should be refunded fully. Talk to a mgr if the regular customer service reps become difficult. They'll make it right.
