Thanks
The fitment sounds fine to me. The front could probably use a little more aggressive of an offset, perhaps a +20/25 on a 9" wheel. I cannot speak as to the fitment with the Akebono BBK for that particular wheel.

The Avante Gardes often need spacers to clear and that offset is right in the gray area, I'd confirm w/ the vendor.
If these are a used set (great wheels BTW) I'd shoot these templates to the seller to verify if they don't know

Blnewt, what's your thoughts on this. I know i've seen it around here on X's...

If you had a coupe it would be a snug fit w/ a little bit of work to keep from rubbing. On a sedan no way w/out pulling fenders, running way high camber and stretched tires. For those 245/285s (which is a great AWD combo) youd want front offset around +30 and rear offset +40 to +45

Those would be fine on regular tires, you wouldn't need to run stretched for a good fit, and those dinky sidewalls will give you a brutal ride. Run 235/45 front 255/45 or 255/40 rear for a much better fit and comfortable ride.

If your G is an S you need to confirm brake clearance.

So I am in the process of making my way back into a G coupe again, I currently have a sedan. I am looking at a set of Ferrada Wheels, i believe its a fairly new company but the concave on them is ridiculous.

They offer a 20x9, 20x10.5 and 20x11.5

My plan:
I want to run a 10.5 front and an 11.5 rear. I know the fronts will be fine with a mild tire stretch, i believe they come in a 20x10.5+28.

Has anyone fit an 20x11.5 in the rear? The offset is obviously going to be the judge of that but I'm curious if anyone has gotten them to work and with what offsets. I believe they offer a +30 but I'm not sure about others. I haven't contacted them yet. Also what tire size would I have to run if it is even possible?

They managed to do an 11.5 all around on a G but it was bagged. I will be on coilovers

That is serious concavity there^^^^ to have the 11.5 fit to at the fender and also clear the inside will be a small window of offset range. Something in a +35 sounds about right if you don't run more than a 285.
Should be a hot looking setup but might require some fender mods, at least in back.
Look forward to what you end up doing here. Are you planning to run heavy camber?

If you do anything less than a 305 the Infiniti gods will bring down their wrath of camber

Asking question again here.

I have a 10' G37S Sedan with the OEM big brakes.

I have my eyes set on 20x10 et40 square Niche M116 Misano Wheels.

Previous owner was running 20x9 et 15. I have a pair of 20mm spacers, which should clear the front brakes.

20x10 et40 should be fine in the back as well?

I found a deal on treaddepot.com, and my search found that there were recommended by a few of us here. However, the latest post that i found was 2014. Does anyone has any experience with them? They are doing 15% off + free shipping on niche wheels, which make the 20x10" set to be 901 dollars shipped.

Using those spacers will give you a net +20, that's way aggressive for a sedan fitment, especially in front. Are you planning to run stretched tires and extra camber there? If they have those wheels in stock you should ask for Andrew and see if he has any Akebono templates on hand to see just how much spacing you'd need (if any) to clear those calipers. If you can get by w/ much smaller spacers that would make it much easier to get a decent fit without running too little tire or too much camber (or both).
Here's a link for those templates if he doesn't have them.

Thank you for getting back to me. Is there an e-mail available for this Andrew? I tried to contact them via customers service but they never get back to me after one email response. Niche didnt respond any email at all.

I am looking for a dual concave setup. I bought tires already, 255/35/20. It is not the smartest move, but they were on sale for 300 brand new shipped...

I guess the biggest thing is i need to clear the front brake, and am looking more of a flush look. If et30 will clear the brakes, then i will get 10mm spacer(If there is one).

Do you think 20x9.5 will be better? That would be a less concave setup tho..

Might give a call to Jason at GetYourWheels and see what sets he recommends that will work on those 255s, I know Rohanna has some deep concave sets and he's done a lot of BBK setups so should get you a proper fit.
