Hey guys, Im preparing my g37s coupe for winter and I just had a question. Will 2004 g35 18" rims clear my front sports brake? also will the 18" steel rims clear my sports brakes?

18" wheels will fit depending on offset.

I'm currently running base 370z wheels.
however, rear looks way too aggressive for the g.

What about the 18" steele rims? would they clear the calipers?

dc2r

like i said it depends on the offset of the steel wheels. i couldn't tell you. all wheels come with an offset.

Ok. These are the rims that Im thinking about.

G35 OEM 18" wheels
Front & Rear: 18x8 +30mm offset

Would these clear my calipers?

Thanks.

dc2r, do you have pictures???

Its this one.

Anyone know if those rims will clear the g37 calipers? I need help!^^^

Those don't look like steel to me.

Does Infiniti even make a steel rim..?

I would call the dealer and make sure. I'm not sure anyone has tried this setup yet on a Sport model with the larger brakes. Note that the Sport Tire and Wheel package option was not available on the 09-13 sport because those wheels did not clear the brakes on the sport model, so I have a hunch those wheels will not either.

Those are definitely aluminum haha. I know they fit over the G35 brembo brakes but im not so sure about the g37 Akebono Brakes. Dealership probably wouldnt know. Most of the time they dont know stuff like that

Sorry for the confusion guys. Im looking at 2 setups one is aluminum and one is steel. The aluminum is one is the one pictured above which came stock on the g35 with brembo brakes. I just want to know if they would clear g37 calipers.

if you have access to the wheels how about a test fit?

dc2r

that's probably your best bet is to test fit it. and don't permenantly mount it. manually spin the wheel to see if the spokes hit.

i have an old wheel. if it were summer or i have seen this thread earlier. i could have test fitted this on my g.

Ok here's the update guys. So I decided to drive down and test fit the rims and they do clear the g37s calipers. It's very close though. I was kinda surprised because there's wasn't a lot of info on these particular rims fitting the g37s. Looks like I found my new(used) winter setup! Thanks to all!

Just for future reference, these are the 2003-04 18" G35 rims with brembo brakes.

Here are some pics.
