So what do you think about some Rohana RC10s 19x9.5 +20 all around? would they work?

Here's a template that you can send to the vendor for confirmation.
http://infinitig37.com/tech-images/akebonotemplate.pdf
9.5 +30 running 265s square is a confirmed coupe fit, a few sedans running 10.5s +35 to +38 on up to 275s square so there should be some room to go up on your coupe.
I am looking at a set of work vsxx atm. Juat trying to figure out the front offset. Might pass up on thr deal though. There a few cheaper set of wheels that im looking at that but there either all 20" or to aggresive or to soft.

ChinkyChoys are 9.5" +25 running 245s and look to be right inside the fender, I don't think another 5mm will work unless you want to run higher camber. If you want to run tires wider than 245s you"ll need offsets in the +30 or slightly higher.

I don't think I will go wider than a 245 but what kind of camber are we talking? I won't be using any camber kits and I'm expecting I'll have around -2 camber all around after lowering on coils, so would that work then?

If you're planning on lowering on coils w/out camber kits your camber will be closer to -2.5 or greater. I'd send a PM to Chinky Choy just to check exactly how much room he has and what camber he's running. FWIW I'd at least get the rear camber/toe kit if you go coilovers.

Hey guys, I'm a long-time reader, newbie poster on this site. I've been surfing through a lot of different posts/threads but I still don't feel completely comfortable with pulling the trigger before asking some (probably obvious) questions.

I have a 2008 G37S Coupe with factory sport brakes, suspension, etc.

Looking to get the InCurve IC-S5 wheels (or the IC-S10's if the 5's are too pricey). Wanting to do 19"x9" in the front and 19"x10.5" in the rear (deep concave), if possible without heavy modifications. I took a test spin on the wheel/tire calculator, but I'm still a bit confused about offsets, spacers and the specifics about staying "flush"...

If I want these wheel widths and am attempting to stay "hella-flush", what spacers/lug bolts would be required? And is 10.5" in the rear too wide if I want to avoid rubbing and/or further modification?

Here's a pic of the exact wheels I want, except I want to stay with 19's rather than going to 20's.

Let me get back to you tonight, you won't need spacers or longer lugs, just the proper offset & tire sizes. And the hella flush term typically means very aggressive involving stretched tire mounts and heavy camber. I assume you just want a flush setup on in-spec camber w/ a wide tire staggered fit.

DYT-350Z, Doesn't seem that InCurve still makes the IC-SC5s (at least they're not on the site).
As far as sizing, a staggered 9 & 10.5" set should be 9x19+ 25 running 245/40/19 or 255/40/19 front and 10.5x19 +35 running 285/35/19. If they have offsets in the rear of +30 then go w/ a 275.
This is running in spec camber w/ a medium drop.

I did some searching and can't come up with a definite answer to the following question.

I have a 2012 G37S RWD sedan and am trying to find out if these wheels will clear the BBK? If anyone can confirm either way I would greatly appreciate it!

Just looking at the wheel design it appears the end of the spokes go back quite a bit, not sure if it's any more than the 18" sedan wheels that clear the BBK though
Here's a template you could send the seller if they would be willing to test the fit

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated. I asked the seller if he could print the template and see if they will clear the brakes. Still waiting to hear.

20" Rims

Found a real nice set of rims off a G35 coupe for my G37xS Sedan.

They are:

20x8.5 (35 offset) with 245/35/20 tires front

20x10 ((40 offset) with 275/30/20 tires rear

Also, my sedan is on the stock suspension.

Trying to find info on here about the brake clearance and fit, as well as the diameter for the all wheel drive, but cant find on here....

Opinions??
