Question about G37S Coupe Enkei wheels

I am trying to understand something about these wheels. I've seen them on different cars, usually on the coupes, and I know that they are 19x8.5 front and 19x9 rear fitment on the sport model. I have also seen sets that weren't staggered, and I've seen sets which have Enkei stamps on the lip of some wheels but not others. Can anyone clarify this for me?

The ones that aren't staggered were hand assembled from two different sets or all 4 were bought from the dealer in the same size.


They changed the stamping from on the outside of the wheel, not sure when but they are all the same wheel from a quality standpoint.


These are the stock wheels on the Coupe w/ Sport pkg and also on convertibles, the convertibles have a +30 offset whereas the coupes have a +43/+45 offset IIRC.

Interesting information. Wouldn't G37XS have the same wheels all around, because of the AWD?

Someone told me the Enkei stamped in the front came from the earlier generation those wheels first came out, the later generation they got stamped what looks like"JII". I thought I was buying fake/replica until seller told me enkei are stamped in the back of the spokes. And surely it was there.

My bad, the XS for the coupe does have (4) 19x8.5. I'm a sedan guy so I'm used to the 18x7.5 XS on the AWD 4 doors


Here's an interesting post from Toxic's build thread, this one shows the difference in concavity between the regular coupe 19 and a vert coupe 19, those vert 19s are pretty sweet I must admit.
