I am sure the rear will fit ok, but curious about the front. I think it would work as most people on the 370Z sport 19x9 front wheels w/ a 47mm offset run a good sized spacer. I really like the 370Z sport wheels, but I really do not want to run spacers for track days if I can help it.

They also make the TSW Interlagos in 19x8.5, but it has a 45mm offset so I would imagine I would need a good sized spacer to make it look relatively flush like the 370Z sport 19" wheels. Thoughts?
I think I'd run the 9.5 +41 on all four corners w/ 245/40/19s all around, would be flush up front and you could do a true 4 wheel rotation. But your other combo would work OK, 30mm tire difference w/ only a 1/2" stagger may look slightly different on the front and the back as far as how much sidewall bulge you'll get, but not a deal breaker. Too bad they don't have a 10", or that 10.5 that they have in a better offset.

so i would expect that running enkei raijins in a similar offset would work too? i'm looking at Raijins in 18x9.5 +35 all round or SSR GTV03 18x9.0 +35 all round, currently on spacers with Gram Lights but here in Australia, spacers are illegal so looking at a better wheel fitment with no need for spacers and clear the BBK

The SSR GTV03 will clear the BBK in an 18x9.5 +45 too, will be close to the upper part of the steering knuckle but will clear so I have no doubt the 9 +35 will work. The Rajins should clear the BBK but not 100% sure. Might enter all your vehicle info at www.tirerack.com and see if those Enkeis come up, they are very accurate about which wheels will clear the BBK if you enter that your G has the sport pkg.

Thank you for all the helpful posts, Newt!

On an IPL coupe (non-x, if that matters), I would like to run 255/35/20 up front and 265/35/20 in the rear. Preferably in 20x9 front and 20x10 rear with minimal camber and preferably no or very little fender modification.

These are the offsets that are available in the wheel that I am looking at:

20x9: +32, +20
20x10: +35
20x10.5: +45, +27

I would like to run coilovers with a daily-drivable drop, but just a little bit more than eibach or swift springs provide.

I would also like to be close to flush. What do you think? Spacers required? Would it poke at all if I just went with eibach springs? Would I need to move up to a 20x10 and 20x10.5 to get more stretch in those tire sizes to reduce rubbing with coilovers?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

Just bought a 2011 G37X Sport Sedan with 235/50 ZR 18 97W all around on I believe 18x7.5's, the stock sport wheels are all the same size and the suspension is stock.

I would like to keep the same tires and square setup and just upgrade the wheels, I found some 18x8.5 +32 Gunmetal Milanni Tycoon Wheels that I like, would I have a problem rubbing or clearance with the Sport brakes etc..

Thanks!

You'll be fine w/ in spec camber w/ the 9 +32 & 10+35 w/ the tires you listed, just need to BE SURE the front set will clear the big sport brakes.
If you want to run more tire in back the 10.5 +45 will allow you to run up to a 295 in back without any fender work although you may have to trim the fender bracket a bit w/ a dremel. I ran 295s on my sedan with no issues on a 10 +45.
The Tein Basis are a mild drop coilover that you might consider, a drop in the 1.5 to 2" range is perfect for that set and they're very affordable, around $600.
Here's some brake templates if your vendor needs to verify clearance

The wheels/tires will fit fine, if you plan to upgrade to the bigger Sport brakes you'd need to verify clearance w/ the vendor. I posted the templates in the reply in the post above.

I don't believe that size Enkei Rajin comes up on tirerack. I remember really liking those wheels too, but I think the 18's are just a 18x8.5 so either they do not clear the BBK or they have a funky offset

I agree, neither set up is perfect, but I would definitely prefer a wider tire at the rear for track days. I was planning to go with 18x8.5 or 19x8.5 up front, but it is a stupid 45mm offset so I would probably need spacers. Since I am only going up 2 sizes in width up front, I figured the wider rim would help stretch the tire to make up for the 3 size increase in width out back.

Let me check around a bit, might be able to find another wheel that will have a similar style and price point that will have a better fit.

Thanks blnewt! I am leaning toward WedsSport SA10R or Forgestar F14's with their custom offsets and almost unlimited colors and finishes.

hey guys,

first post here. Tried to do some light reading, but probably need a little more help before I pull the trigger.

looking to get these RC26 ? Rohana Wheels on a G37 coupe non-S,

I believe from reading the forums, these should clear:

F: 20x10 25ET
R: 20x11 28ET

my other choice is the +45 in the front, and the +52 on the rear, but I wanted to go more aggressive.

If you don't have BBK, those will fit the bill. How aggressive you want to go is also dependant on your suspension setup. Want to run aggressive offsets? Well, make sure you have the height and dampening to do so. Or , it will look out of place. Sort of like..how my car looks right now .


4DRZ - My vote is for the WedsSport SA10R, clear winner.
