Wrong wheels on my sport from factory?

I installed my 25mm rear spacers today and when finished, I noticed that one was flush with the body, and one was still tucked in there. It was a huge difference! I found the factory specs on the 10 spoke sport wheels, both front and rear staggard sizes, and I found I have three fronts and one rear on my car. I had never noticed the difference until this install. I called the dealership where I bought it used and spoke with Chris, the owner of Bermans Infiniti in Chicago. He was upset it wasn't caught in the inspection before going on floor and is getting me a new wheel, no push back at all. Think it might have come from the factory this way? . Three 19x9's and one 19x10, and the difference in the offset made a one inch difference in the wheel well.

Possible. More likely that it happened at the port or the dealership though. How long have you been driving it like that?

if you're the second owner, I would think it far more likely happened under the previous owner's care. He probably messed up a wheel and replaced it with the 9".

Well my vin shows I should have JJ64A. I have 1. The other is JL14B, which is for the sport COUPE. The JJ64A is convertible specific 19x9 +30 offset. The JL14B is also 19x9 but with +45 offset.

At the dealership in Chicago (Bermans Infiniti) now having new wheel installed. Store owner (Chris) worked with me to get me a new rear wheel. I have had some poor experiences with dealerships in the past, but i feel Bermans went above and beyond for me on this one. Frank in parts did alll he could do to find me a wheel and did so in a matter of hours. After this wrong wheel being on my car for 4 years, and replacing it with no issue is fantastic. I passed two other Infiniti dealerships to get here, and I will make the trip here, and buy my next Infiniti here because of this. Very impressed !
