18" or 19" Infiniti OEM wheels - not staggered?
18" or 19" Infiniti OEM wheels - not staggered?
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?

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.

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>
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?).
