tires.. i was thinking possibly a 245 or a 255/35/20 on the rear?

I don't plan on running it in heavy camber, I just want it to sit nicely on the wheel, and possibly run it a bit camber as necessary, but nothing crazy.

thoughts?
The wheels will poke a bit outside the fender but should tuck just inside when running the stretched tires. Dropped a bit lower on coils and keeping camber in the low -2s should get you there, but like I said, wheels WILL poke.

Anyone (blnewt) know if the 15mm H&R DRM spacers (with studs built in) will clear the OEM studs for the OEM sport wheels on a 2012 coupe?

Yes, the OEM studs that go through the spacer will fit into the recessed pockets in the back of the wheel mounting surface.

There are some wheels that don't have these pockets, but your OEM Infiniti wheels do.

Hi. Long time lurker finally deciding to pose a question.

It's a curious setup compared to some of the others on here, but figured I'd ask since fitments are typically universal around.

I intend to downsize the wheels on my '13 S Coupe. I don't intend to drop the car all the way down either, with the intention of having about 3/4"-1" of clearance from fender to tire. So here's the question - will the following fit? I can get these wheels from a friend and would like to take advantage of it.

18x10.5 ET30 275/40 all the way around (Enkei NT03+M)

The back should fit without problems, seeing as that's a common fitment for the back. So it's the front I'm curious about, potentially issues with rubbing, wheel scrub issues, clearance at lock, etc. It'll be around 1% smaller overall diameter, so I don't think there are any issues there.

Thanks for any help.

I'm curious if I can run 19x8 with a 48mm offset on a '12 G37? Some online sites said yes, some said no. I really have a poor understanding of offsets. Found some wheels but they're only offered in that offset for 19" in our bolt pattern.

Yes, that's a perfect setup for your sedan, I'd run 245/40/19 front 275/35/19 rear.

you could run this setup but they will not sit flush with the fenders, if thats what your going for. The factory g37 sedan journey wheel is a 17x7.5 +45, so a 19x8 +48 is basically the same width and offset as the factory wheels. if you want your wheels to be more flush with the fenders then this is a bad choice (19x10 +40) (19x9 +30) (19x8 +20) will all sit flush with the outer fenders. if you don't mind where your stock wheels sit right now then get them. the only difference is the diameter in the wheel. everything else is pretty much the same. IF you have a G37S then these will most likely NOT clear your brakes. Make sure you’re extra careful if you have the sport model.

watch this video, it will help understand it visually.

Gregor speaks the truth^^
Do you have a link for these wheels? Maybe we can find a similar style wheel that has better sizing.

Hey guys, newbie here. Was just wondering if I could run this set up for my 2012 G37x sedan, squared up 19x8 +40 245/40/19 (DWS06) dropped on Swift. The wheels (Ground Force GF06 Gloss Black) I like have 3 ET to choose, which one is the best for me? 35, 40, or 45 mm? And could I get away with no camber and spacers? Thanks!

Run the +35, you'll get more of a flush fit and will look better overall. Oh, and welcome to the site!

+35 is nice, should I worry much about fender clearance? 18mm (0.7'') farther out from stock. Sorry, so new to this wheel offset stuff.

No, you'll be glad they're out a bit more, in fact you can still go out a bit more without issue.

Nice. Don't know if it's the appropriate place to ask but, what's your opinion on the Ground Force GF06 Gloss Black and Rohana RC10 All Matte Black? those two looks to be my pick for wheels as of now, or any other recommendation? I have a whole winter to decide. Thank you.
