I've got stock 17" wheels on my G and and considering options. Would prefer OEM - I know, they're expensive, but apparently I can get a fair price for my 17's as well. And I know there are plenty of third party & nice wheels out there - ie: Vossen - but anyway, my question -

Does Infiniti even sell a set that's 18" or 19" that are not staggered? Any time I see a set of four for sale on this forum or eBay that are larger than 17's, they're staggered. I don't want staggered, want to be able to fully rotate.

Is there a problem running an 18 x 8.5 wheel on the front of a RWD 2009 G37? Or does it have to be an 18 x 7.5 on the front? I see very few 18 x 7.5's on eBay, usually in pairs, which makes me think they should only be run on the front.

I guess ideally I would get four 18 x 7.5's or four 18 x 8.5's. Is the latter size okay run on all four corners?

I think I have answered my own question - if I had just RTFM... optional on the Journey - 18", 7.5 wide F/R:

They also have the 18s on the non sport coupe that are non staggered. I believe they are 18x8 all around. You can also get 18s or 19s from the M. they are both non staggered.

Okay, great... thanks for the feedback.

just to clarify, i was referring to the previous generation M. I believe the current M has staggered setup for their sport wheels.

you can also buy 2 sets of front wheels...or 2 sets of rear wheels

So there's really no issue with running 8.0" or 8.5" wide wheels on the front? Doesn't sound like it.

My reason for questioning all this was because bone stock is 17x7.5 on all four, and sport puts 18x7.5 on the front and 18x8.5 on the rear, I was concerned that an 18x8.5 wouldn't work on the front without rubbing or needing mods.

it would work...but might look funny if you're not lowered.

My 2011 x coupe sport has all 19 by 8.5. AWD have non staggered setup. I want to get after market rims but the fun-police (wife) says no or I'd sell mine to you...

I actually have the non-staggered 18's I'm looking to sell. Perfect condition. No TPMS though, but they have tires with a decent amount of tread. PM me if interested

TinsleyC

While I sure appreciate the offer... I've been chewing on that idea but I just can't justify the expense to gain an inch of wheel...

I've since come to understand the whole TPMS thing as well - don't they have to be reprogrammed at the dealer?

I could kick myself for not asking for 18's or 19's when I picked up the car in Nov 2009... they were in a good mood and probably would have swapped them out for free, or at a modest cost.

Thanks for the offer but.... <sigh>

What did you end up getting? I have a g37x and want to get the 18" oem non staggered m37 setup?

Is that a good idea?

I have been trying to find anyone running OEM 19" coupe REAR wheels on both the front and rear of a RWD sedan.

I have staggered coupe wheels on my sedan, but would like to run rears at all four corners so I can rotate my tires.

Has anyone tried this?

It is doable. In fact it's what I intend to do once the stock staggered tires wear out. I'm on the lookout for 18" x 8.5" wheels. Your steering will tighten up slightly too with the wider tires up front (245?).
