What are inexpensive 18"x 8 wheels that will fit over G37S Akebono brakes

RWD Sport Sedan rear wheels are 8.5" wide, Luky. It's a one inch stagger on the sedan.

So we test fit the wheels today. The front was fine but the rear stuck out past the edge of the rear quarter panel just slightly which I was not thrilled with. It would probably fit the tires, but I don't want to risk the metal gouging the side walls of the tires with a loaded car. They are getting me a set of 18x8 +45 which should be better fit on the rear and I ordered a set of 20mm bolt on spacers for the front to push them out just a little. The wheels were in stock at the distributor so I am hopeful to have them done by Friday. (Hubcentric spacers are next day delivery from ).

Luky, when you did the test fit was the suspension loaded? I see Rennforms listed in only 2 offsets for an 18x8 in the Infiniti lug pattern, a +35 and +45, even the +35 will be well inside the fender edge when the suspension is loaded. If you just fit the wheels to check caliper clearance on a raised vehicle your camber is way positive and the wheels will be angling out so it looks like they will be poking outside the fender.
When my 10" +45 wheels were fitted w/ 295 wide tires the tires would be at least an inch outside the fender, but when the vehicle came down from the jack the tires tucked right inside the fender.
You should be more than fine clearing those fenders unless you went w/ a wider wheel in back w/ more aggressive specs.

Here's a tip on that kind of spacer: ditch those half-height lug nuts. They really suck. As long as your wheels support the space between the hole pattern, get yourself some lugnuts which you can reuse at will, and have more confidence in the thread contact. For example:

Not sure I would call a 20mm push "just a little". However, and assuming they're good quality, then that's a great price on a pair of spacer adapters.

When I say "a little" that is from the wheel going from a +35 offset to +45 offset on the front. So a 20mm spacer with a +45 offset should only push the wheel out ~10mm more, less than 1/2".
